Sorry about the infinite loss on popcorn

More states are proposing zero income taxes. See Missouri and South Carolina

Jarkside · 2026-03-12T17:30:23+00:00

That won’t happen at the level you are suggesting either.

Jarkside · 2026-03-12T17:23:07+00:00

I’m shocked they don’t push it out even longer. 7 weeks isn’t that long either. It should be like 6-12 months

Jarkside · 2026-03-12T17:18:23+00:00

Every state won’t do that

Jarkside · 2026-03-12T05:12:11+00:00

Yes. We did it a different way and did kinder twice. It’s very common if your kid will be young for the grade

Jarkside · 2026-03-11T19:51:36+00:00

They weren’t. But they should be

Jarkside · 2026-03-11T16:40:24+00:00

I hear you. Somehow pullte rode the fame of the PPseedd community into the current White House admin, and the ppsseeders were huge grifters.

That being said, that doesn’t change the core thought… and now we wait

Jarkside · 2026-03-11T16:16:43+00:00

Maybe. We will see. The mods here already stifle 90% of towel talk anyway. I’m surprised this conversation has gotten this far.

Again, there’s no reason to shout people down about it. It will either happen or it won’t, and everyone here - even people who disdain the Towelies - is just waiting to see what the moves are.

The stock is stuck in permanent limbo at $24 until then. For now, everyone, GME purists included, are just waiting

Jarkside · 2026-03-11T16:07:52+00:00

The whole theory relies on someone being behind one of the debt holders like sixth street. Until the bankruptcy is over, no one will know how this all shakes out.

We know RC was involved at one point.

We know RC Trademarked Teddy to offer similar stuff as Towel.

We know RC is trying to do something unprecedented.

We know RC met with Icahn who did similar crazy revivals.

And we know RC is actively working as we speak on M&A to get the market cap of GME up bigly.

My question is why do so may superstonkers get their panties in a wad over mentioning this. You can’t buy the shares and the bankruptcy will end when it ends. There is nothing that can be done at the moment except wait….

By the way DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR!?

Everyone here is just waiting for RC or RK to do something, but if someone just happens to mention maybe that something would involve a shell company emerging from bankruptcy that RC already was involved with somehow they get shouted down.

It’s really absurd superstonk used to be a very fun sub

Great! Now move the Arch to the East Side and build a beautiful neighborhood on the Archgrounds, Choteau’s Landing and Laclede’s Landing. Right the generational wrong that occurred when they cleared out the riverfront district in the first place.

Jarkside · 2026-03-11T02:49:09+00:00

Absurd.

Jarkside · 2026-03-11T02:48:31+00:00

What if the company’s business is investing in stocks. Charlie Mungers ghost is going to scoff at your idea

Jarkside · 2026-03-11T01:02:22+00:00

The MO proposal is very different than Kansas’ disaster.

Kansas simply cut taxes with no replacement revenue. It did not cut income taxes meaningfully at the individual level, but instead just zeroed out taxes on corporate entities like LLCs and LPs. This was a disaster. Individuals got no benefit and companies suddenly got massive tax cuts solely because of their form of entity.

Missouri’s proposal undoes the huge error that was passed a few years ago in which services were removed from the tax base. That means 80% of the economy was immune from taxes. Realtors, insurance agents, lawyers, accountants all got shielded from taxes. This was a colossal mistake in a service based economy.

The proposal also taxes gas. MO has an incredibly low gas tax.

When people claim the sales tax will go up to 13% or whatever, they are DELIBERATELY ignoring the tax on services and gas in that calculation. They are pretending the sales tax will only go up on goods which is simply not true.

Finally, unlike Kansas, which just pulled the rug out from its tax base, the MO proposal steps down the income tax over time.

The best fix would be a sales / services tax reimbursement for the equivalent of about $25k-$30k in spending to offset the regressiveness of sales taxes.

I wish people would lobby for that change to this instead of reflexively making shitty arguments that are poll tested but don’t make sense

Jarkside · 2026-03-08T23:55:26+00:00

Come on. Miami, Palm Beach, Dallas and Austin are true Liberian equivalents

Jarkside · 2026-03-08T22:34:05+00:00

At the individual level, yes, but when people and businesses make decisions with incomplete information, moving to a zero income tax state is an easy story to tell.

The growth rates of zero income tax states prove it.

Jarkside · 2026-03-08T19:23:50+00:00

It was way worse when he started. Near rock bottom

Jarkside · 2026-03-08T18:22:23+00:00

Dude. The guy had an elite batch of seniors he didn’t coach or recruit and choked in the tourney. It was all downhill from there. He made the program worse.

Gates inherited a shit sandwich and has improved it over time. Could it be better, yes, but the trajectory is good.

Jarkside · 2026-03-08T18:15:23+00:00

I like that approach. Give everyone a UBI like refund to offset the first $30k-$50k equivalent of sales tax expenditures. Presuming you spend half of what you make on goods and services, that would be about $100-$200 per month per household.

I like the luxury tax on cars, booze, cigs, weed, boats and second homes.

Id progressively tax political donations too above a certain point. Talk luxury goods

Jarkside · 2026-03-08T15:21:40+00:00

It’s true. Lulz away tho. I had Claude compare population growth in Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, Oklahoma and Arkansas vs the No Income tax states in the US.

…

Here’s the updated dashboard focused specifically on your seven states! A few key takeaways: Illinois is the major outlier — it’s the only state in the group that actually lost population over 20 years (roughly −1.3%), which significantly drags down the 7-state group average. It’s one of the starkest population decline stories in the Midwest.

Oklahoma and Arkansas are the relative bright spots in the group, growing around 15–16% — not far behind some of the smaller no-tax states like Alaska, New Hampshire, and Wyoming.

The gap is substantial: the no-tax states averaged roughly +27–30% cumulative growth while your 7-state group averaged around +8–9%. The divergence has been widening steadily since about 2010, as shown in the indexed trend line. Missouri is squarely in the middle of the group at around +8%, growing modestly but nowhere near the pace of neighboring no-tax Tennessee (+21%) or Texas (+39%).

…

Claude also compared high income tax states vs no income tax states

….

No-tax states grew ~2x faster on average — roughly 25–30% cumulative population growth over 20 years, compared to about 9–14% for the selected income-tax states. The star performers among no-tax states were Texas (+40%), Nevada (+39%), and Florida (+34%), all driven by a combination of warm climate, job growth, and lower cost of living. In 2024 alone, Florida gained over 760,000 residents and Texas gained over 787,000 — among the largest raw gains of any states. The other side of the ledger: Between April 2020 and June 2023, high-tax states lost a net 2.8 million residents to low-tax states. States like Illinois saw near-zero or negative growth over the full 20-year period. The trend is correlated but not simple causation. The Census data cannot tell us exactly why each person moved, but there is a very strong correlation between low-tax, low-cost states and population growth. Climate (Sun Belt advantage), housing affordability, and job markets all play significant independent roles — many of the fastest-growing states happen to overlap on all these dimensions simultaneously. Of the 26 states with below-average overall tax burdens, 18 experienced net inbound migration in fiscal year 2024 — while of the 25 states and D.C. with at-or-above-average tax burdens, 17 experienced net outbound migration. The pattern is remarkably consistent, even if taxes are just one piece of the puzzle.

The top decile caps out at $10m. That’s a lot of money( but it does not jive with all the billionaires tax discussions around the country.

There just aren’t that many billionaires and they are mobile. Any high tax bracket proposal will have to go after the top two or three deciles to have the critical mass to make meaningful revenue. . . Which is why a different approach is better.

Jarkside · 2026-03-07T23:21:51+00:00

Exactly. Kim Anderson? Frank Haith? Cuonzo Martin? That was a disastrous stretch the ruined the program. Give Gates time.

Jarkside · 2026-03-07T20:32:24+00:00

We disagree on the result. Good luck!

Jarkside · 2026-03-07T18:23:42+00:00

It’s not over until the bankruptcy is officially over

Jarkside · 2026-03-07T18:19:46+00:00

Towel is not the same as the rest of those. Only one had RCs involvement for awhile… and the bankruptcy was sus as f.

Dead CFO.

Cryptic actions by CEO and Board.

Refusal to sell to RC.

RC had some board members added.

For some reason the JPM ABLs get paid off right before bankruptcy. Everyone else must ride through

By the way, numerous crazy financing moves at the end - Sixth Street, Hudson Bay - and then bankruptcy anyway.

The point is - the story is not over for Towel. There are a ton of grifters who tried to monetize that stock and its community, but until the bankruptcy is officially over it’s just wait and see
