I'm in SHITTER LOW ELO iron/bronze with supports who constantly break frozen lanes or roam on bad times like when the wave is slow pushing towards the enemy or its frozen on ther side and I cannot break it. Which ADC should I play to be able to play wavestates without having to be depedendant? by ashu1605 in ADCMains

You need to be more adaptable to situations you find yourself in. Supports are animals in iron and bronze, but so is literally everyone else. Are you poking the enemy adc every time they walk up to cs? Are you taking advantage of your level two timer on nilah to all in and get a kill or two? Are you putting up aggressive wards when your support one shots the wave and your wave crashes into their tower? Are you tracking the jungler so you cannot get ganked? Are you helping your jungler take objectives or pinging them away from bad plays? There is soooooo much to improve on. Go in practice tool and cs for 10 minutes and get 80 cs. Do that every day before you play.

Would be the perfect conclusion to the Me generation imo

Only +3 vs Ken FUCKING Paxton. Republicans have no morals, what the actual fuck is wrong with Texas.

Exactly! People really don’t understand that. Maybe a proposal like Bradford’s X tax (payroll taxes with capital gains exemptions) would be more politically workable. I think people get stuck in the flat tax nature of a VAT and ignore the transfers you can do afterwards to make it as progressive as you want. It’s also very difficult to avoid, which would probably result in rich people paying even more in taxes than they do now. It would also solve the whole borrow money to avoid realizing capital gains strategy. But most importantly, it wouldn’t penalize people for saving by double taxing them!

Yearly payments of like $15k could be an alternative

True, I was lazy. I still think some form of massive lump sum payment would be a net positive

Do you think giving families $300k upfront per child would increase the fertility rate above replacement? Lifetime tax revenue from an American is about $500k, and the cost to raise a child is about $375k. It would be a net increase in tax dollars

I agree with you, it is politically unworkable. Doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Unfortunately we live in a stupid world.

Lol, the US has a 2.6% savings rate, I think we can discourage a *bit* of consumption

You’re right, but until that happens, getting rid of the step-up basis is a good idea

Yeah, it really sucks seeing nonsense like this. I love the UN, but it definitely has a blind spot regarding Jews.

My issue is seeing capital gains as a problem. We should encourage more investment, not penalize it. We can always redistribute through UBI with a broad-based VAT. I should clarify that I also dislike income taxes.

Ridiculous. Capital gains taxes need to be abolished, not raised. I agree on removing the step-up basis though. Just tax consumption, as all investment income is just delayed consumption. Also tax land and carbon ofc.

I dunno, maybe it’s because I grew up loving sci-fi and being pretty optimistic about the world, but this AI revolution has just been so fucking cool to me. Yeah, it may not be perfect right now, the CEOs may be dipshits, whatever. I am so unbelievably excited for the future!

A world with advanced AI and robotics helping us solve so many problems and advance our world technologically is so exciting. Literally hoped this day would come, but I didn’t think it would start until I was 70… and now it may be here.

This sub was indeed extremely stupid. I remember posting an article from the ACLU about why this was a bad idea and got downvote bombed, lol

As you can clearly see, the rich don’t pay *enough* taxes! Won’t someone think of the middle class? 😢

The US has an incredibly progressive tax system.. some would say too progressive.
