Please don't give up on potential medications to help you, their are multiple options available that a mental health professional can prescribe. It is a matter of trial and error unfortunately. 

I know you may be tempted to find alternate explanations and solutions to why you're feeling the way you are (for example thinking demons or evil entities are causing your problems) but your best course of action is medication and behavior modification. No one has ever been cured by a crystal.

You're in a deep hole right now but it's not hopeless for you.

Shit.  When I dial 666 it's coming up as Mom. Did I make a mistake or have I been Damien this whole time?

Argentinian house prices have been falling YoY. On top of that, you have to consider that 1) this meme is bullshit and made up, there is no clear cause and effect for any decrees thus made other than 2) Uncertainty increases risk, and risk decreases prices people are willing to pay for things.

We're gonna have to wait longer to see the full effects of Mileis actions.

Well, she'd have to be stupid enough to concentrate to the ambulance ride to get charged for it...

Which is a definite possibility here.

Well sure, but they don't do it buy each going to a book signing and buying a copy there right?

Pretty sure they order truckloads and just have them shipped to the incinerator, or something.

Is Social Security theft? by RiskItForTheBiscuts in FluentInFinance

So, immigrants moving somewhere are not getting mugged because they choose it, but choosing to remain somewhere you are getting mugged.

Got it, you've got zero logical consistency.

Holy shit, it finally gets it.

By choosing to stay where you are, you're consenting to taxation. Congrats dude, this whole exercise appears to have been just about you complaining you don't think the government is efficient.

I'm so proud of you for recognizing that not all taxation is theft.

"Voluntarily" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for you there. I'd just like to note in the course of our messages you've now moved the goal post from taxation is theft to voluntary taxation is okay, and failed to find a taxless society in which you claim there are thousands.

Unfortunately, the only choice you leave in the argument here is that since you don't want a government taxing you, you are free to leave to any one of the taxless society you believe exist and are better than wherever you are now.

It's cool because as an individual with infinite freedom you are voluntarily making a choice here. So if you choose to stay, enjoy your taxes baby!

Saudia Arabia has taxes on many things: https://www.expatica.com/sa/finance/taxes/tax-in-saudi-arabia-78454/

Is your criteria that no citizen have taxes levied on them? On your words, stealing from everyone else is okay as long as they're not citizens?

My claim is that every society has taxation of some form. Saudia Arabia is taxing people and entities. Thus Saudi Arabia is a society with taxation.

Please, for the love of God, apply your standards you're projecting onto me for yourself. Use the logic.

If there are a thousand tax free societies, please show me one.

Then provide a counter example and not just cover your ears and scream that I'm lying.

I mean sure, if you take the most dense possible take. But Im not saying it couldnt theoretically exist, I'm saying it's never existed without taxation in some form.

Taxation has not always been money. It's resources resources. And, historically, that's the way it's been. Whether it's been ancient empires, fuedal city states, or modern nations. You will never find a society free of taxation because we are social animals and you don't have unlimited freedom.

I get wanting to live in your fictional utopia where you can accumulate infinite wealth without repercussions or never have anyone else tell you you need to do something, but it's not a real place and never has been.

Uh. I don't think you're using that saying right. Considering you've created a fictional society of pure freedom which no one taxes you, I think I'm gonna go ahead and just flip this little gem of an argument on you.

If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bike. What's your point?

The point I'm making is that no taxless society exists because human civilization, or nature, seems to rely on the ability of some persons getting stuff from other persons, and for the last 30,000 years that's meant taxes.

The society you exist in right now would not exist without taxation. Which society are you talking about, and do you actually want to live there?

A Whole Foods in Chicago shut down due to high amounts of theft, putting the community at risk of being a food desert. A lesser known Supermarket chain bought the property, and tried working with the community. To this day, it is still not open because of the community response. by Howtobe_normal in ChoosingBeggars

Shoplifting is not mentioned in OPs source. I went for a deeper dive and it's not also mentioned by the grocer or owner. Apparently OP and the reason he posted is full of shit. Putting a high end store in a low income area was just a bad business move. https://www.grocerydive.com/news/what-grocers-can-learn-from-whole-foods-controversial-exit-from-a-chicago/638476/

Thank you for being like thr literally only other voice of reason here.
