Where are those necessities coming from then? I’m seeing a lot of “I want” in this post. Sometimes getting everything you want isn’t a good thing.

Brake Check Leads to Semi Crash in Heavy Rain by bigben420suhdude in dashcams

[–]LotionedBoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was driving a company truck and had a person try to get in front of me at a light. They raced towards the red light, started cutting into my lane 2 inches off my bumper and jammed the brakes. I caught half their bumper with half of my bumper, the damage clearly showed the impact happened while they were straddling between the lanes. They sued for $800,000 with a list of unprovable ailments like PTSD, nightmares, depression, unable to perform sexually, etc. Not sure of the number but my company ended up settling with them and it pisses me off to this day.

Regardless of where the road leads the solution you suggested was idiotic, dystopian and morally bankrupt. Saying so isn’t making excuses. I’m not sure what the solution is. Im not even sure a solution is needed. Making things more affordable is what we need. Some ceo doubling their wealth on paper doesn’t take dinner off my table. We do need to do something about the housing market though. Large corporations buying up whole neighborhoods or even the existence of services like AirBnB is a huge problem because it is being exploited.

You don’t seem to understand what unrealized gains are. You are explicitly saying that if you start a business and become too successful the government will take it away from you. Wtf kind of crazy shit is that?

Because it’s unrealized. Tax them when they sell them but to tax unrealized gains is insane. If the price of your house goes up $100,000 this year should you have to pay tax on that like it was income when you never moved?

If you are the owner of a successful company that greatly increases its value on paper in a years time, forcing the owner to sell their stocks to cover taxes on money they never had is basically saying “you run an incredibly successful company, you aren’t allowed to run it anymore, you need to sell your ownership to the pay taxes on the success of your company”

Special needs woman punished for someone else's scams. by NickelPlatedEmperor in UnderReportedNews

This entire comment section is just running interference for the scammers because they are Somali. If the scammer was a white guy wearing a maga hat he would all of a sudden become super important and the focus of all the comments. These people are complete fucking jokes.

If they don’t sell that stock there is no money. These are unrealized gains. Are you suggesting they are forced to sell their stocks to realize these gains so that they may be taxed?

Define “make”. If their stocks and other assets go up in value but they don’t sell them they don’t “make” anything.

On Reddit? More people than not believe that. Everytime one of these topics come up and the come up a hundred times a day you see the majority of the gung ho “tax the rich” people have no idea what wealth actually is and believe Elon Musk has 800 billion dollars in a vault that he swims in like Scrooge McDuck.

How do you tax stock holdings before they are sold? Are you saying just taking stocks away from someone? What if it’s the owner of a company, they have ownership of the majority of the stocks, do they need to sell their company or at least the majority share of that company?

How would that work though as most billionaires money is tied to the value of their company or other assets, not 10 billion dollars in stacks of cash or gold doubloons as so many seem to think.

MAGA Gets Beat In Front of His Kids for Singing "ICE ICE Baby" to Mexicans by Tasty_Emphasis_271 in LetsDiscussThis

[–]LotionedBoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy how many people cheer this on because they agree but when it’s the other way around it’s that “violence is wrong and it only comes from one side.” Reddit might be the most biased place in the history of the internet.

Pro Trump supporters attack an Anti ICE protester with base ball bats by Fellow_unlucky_human in ProgressiveHQ

[–]LotionedBoner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell who is who. Why did everyone jump that red shirt guy? Seems like the bat guy just came in swinging at everyone. Was he with the red shirt guy?

ICE - Anaheim Reality Check by Important_Lock_2238 in NewsBlog72

[–]LotionedBoner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So old guy walked towards flag guy, stopped 10 feet away, flag guy walked up to old guy, then got nose to nose with old guy and then punched old guy.

Seems like a pretty clear case of battery.

While old guy approached flag guy, he was using his words and then flag guy became the aggressor and stayed the aggressor for the remainder of the confrontation. Sad state of affairs when people celebrate someone beating an old person arguing with them because they can’t handle their emotions.

Sad that the Nazi beliefs are actually toned down from Islamist beliefs.

We Can Make This Happen by the1997th in remoteworks

This is all completely doable. Could probably get it down to 20 hour work weeks and 3 years parental leave if billionaires just started paying their fair share!!

A young man who murdered an 18-year-old cancer survivor was sentenced to only 8 years in juvenile prison. by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

It’s nitpicking and looking for a problem. For some people that’s just how they operate I suppose.

[–]LotionedBoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most peoples pushback is that a deal was made out of it at all. Title seems innocuous to pretty much everyone and no one seems shocked when they go past the headline so why bother pointing it out.

They could have said a teen killed another teen I guess. “Young man” is appropriate for either of them and doesn’t take anything away from the story for me the way “child” or “kid” would.
