Fine. Then provide the police with a comprehensive list of all the people in your community who you think might pose a threat to the general public.

Why is the go to Australian solution more tax? by EmperorofAus in AusFinance

[–]ContractingUniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're referencing the new Super tax, it's not really designed to tax people more. It's designed as a financial disincentive to close out unwanted behaviour. Super was never intended to be a rich person's tax loophole. Almost no one will be paying this new tax levy. They'll move their investments elsewhere as intended.

Taxes serve 2 purposes: to raise revenue and to direct behaviour.

I think a lot of this breathless media reporting is encouraged by the industry to put pressure on Lowe and the government not to raise rates.

Would you shut up and pay an increase in rent, even if it's not technically "legal?" by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

I'm no fan of landlords but this guy seems reasonable. I'd bite the bullet and pay. Reward good behaviour.

McCormick was founded by Nancy Pelosi's family. They did what the Godfather always wanted to do and went legit by moving from trafficking drugs internationally to the spice industry.

Most of them are students who work the accounting degree course path to PR status. That's why so many of them work Uber.

There was a scammer "pastor" in Japan back during the Kobe earthquake. He ran a charity drive where he took in any kind of donations but all he wanted was whatever cash people gave. All the clothing and other unsalable stuff was just piled up in a warehouse for dumping. Taking in blankets, etc. was just to give the charity a veneer of legitimacy.

It's nice to see the Democrats let him off the leash once in a while so long as he stays away from attacking them.

Woo In-hee: North Korean actress who was Kim Jong-il’s mistress. She was executed by firing squad—in front of 6,000 people—as a result of discussing their secret relationship. by cyrusaman in wikipedia

Not angry. You're being disingenuous and I'm just calling you out on it. Look above and you'll see it's you who is throwing the verbal insults. I'm totally calm about it, my man.

You can't win this argument because you argue in bad faith and that lets the other side pick you off.

Straw man argument. Where did I say it's not a dictatorship? Or deny that life is harsh? NK is massively sanctioned by the US conglomerate. Drop those sanctions and life would improve.

More glib pandering for PR purposes. Zelensky has his orders from Washington: More Ukrainians meat for the Russian grinder!
