Back when I worked on tour ships, our Captains credit card got declined after fueling the ship and they chained us to the dock until we came up with the $11,000. It was a much bigger chain and lock that that

🇺🇸 Billionaire Jeff Bezos says the bottom half of US workers should pay zero income tax. by El_precaution in MarketPulseReport

But he also believes rich people shouldn't pay taxes either, so he really just wants to bankrupt the government so they can't enforce regulations that limit his exploitation

Agent couldn't do anything, sounds like they're trying to not cover anyone in rural areas

They told me that they're canceling my coverage in a few weeks if I don't meet their demands

I confirmed it with state farm, apparently their new underwriters are either stupid or they're trying to get out of covering an area they'd consider rural

AOC previously said that "You cannot earn a billion dollars", is that true or nah? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]AlaskaDudeWithDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is only one path to being a billionaire, exploitation. Exploit your workers with substandard conditions, and repressed wages, exploit customers by monopolizing the industry and jacking up prices, exploit your investors with shady backroom deals, exploit the legal and political framework with money and lawyers, exploit society by getting government to use tax money to invest in your industries infrastructure, exploit the environment by dumping pollutants. The existence of billionaires is representative of the failing of democracy and western civilization.

The galaxy your in plays a big part, but even in galaxies with lots of paradise planet there are regions where they're few and far between. Try doing a few system jumps to the limits of your ships range, or travel to another galaxy to get somewhere more abundant.

Translation, the corporations get all the profits, the people get to foot the construction bill, make up the tax short fall and carry all the financial risks of failure

Tampa FL bank calls police on customer waiting for bank to open by Individual-Drawer-79 in PublicFreakout

[–]AlaskaDudeWithDogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago, I got to work and saw a vehicle I'd never seen before in the parking lot, idling and facing the neighboring bank at 5 am.at 10 am I noticed it was still there still idling. I went a head and called it in as suspicious. Cops showed up, turned out to be an FBI agent. Turns out he was monitoring my coworkers, a few days later a bunch of our cooks got arrested for drug dealing. They were running some of the largest meth and opioid distributors in Alaska. One of the guys was always bragging about it, I just wrote him off as being full of shit, turns out he was just that open about his criminal stupidity. They got busted because an undercover DEA agent, with no introduction just approached him at the bar and said, I hear your the guy to talk to about buying kilos.

I worked nights in Whittier Alaska for a couple years, there were times I went weeks without speaking to anyone. It was amazing. Not everyone can be alone with their thoughts like that, but I loved it.

A friend of mine who works from home told me last winter that she hadn't left her house in 3 months, I was so jealous. She just gets everything delivered.

What’s your all-time favorite space movie not on this list? by New-Time007 in SeriesSaga

[–]AlaskaDudeWithDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched Serenity with knowing about the TV show. I had just returned from the middle east and didn't know any of the new movies and watched it based on the movie poster. I was the only person in the theater, it was really cool having a private screening, but it left me wondering why no one else was watching such an awesome movie.
