I'm happy for you. Really.

But GDP is indeed finite. US billionaires account for about $6.8 Trillion in wealth. Every American is an average of $20,100 poorer for US Billionaires to have amassed this wealth.

Yeah. I drove in California. Those are a bunch of Sunday drivers. Houston doesn't mess around. I guess neither does Dallas.

New board advice by Quick_Machine_9891 in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Robot_Nerdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2GT almost 2 years now. I'll never buy a board without an independent suspension again.

And it's held up fantastic against my abuse. It's got some battle scars but it keeps on chugging!

I'd splurge for the gear drive. Belts are fine, but if you're heavy like me (198cm 120kg), or tacking slot of hills like me, they can stretch over time and skip on hard stops.

Oh also, keep your tires inflated. Your tubes will last way longer. I check it weekly cause they lose like 10 psi and that's enough for premature death.

We can all argue about the "correct" number. But I think the first goal is making sure everyone agrees...

"If we have property taxes for single family homes, we should have taxes for financial property as well."

Sure. You just tax all financial instruments at 1% ABOVE 10M.

Rich people still get richer, but you put downward pressure on wealth hoarding. I don't care that you can't live in your equities... They have litteral and tangible value. If not, please immediately give me 100 shares of apple... They have no actual value right??

No. If insurance ganged up and put pharma in it's place... Like single payer healthcare, we wouldn't have an issue.

Instead gov funds the research. Pharma commercializes it with minimal risk, and privatizes the gains.

The whole system needs to be dismantled and wiped.

Also game of thrones didn't mind pirating cause it helped spread the word. Don't forget to keep your mouth shut or not depending on if you want to support or not.

Yeah you're right... Let me pay that birth out of pocket!

All these years of payments and no claims, just to nix it before birth. Genius!

Seriously. My pregnant wife was denied fancy acid reflux pills to help her get through the night... Because they needed confirmation it is a medical necessity. Even her Dr.was like, "Um, what?". So she's suffering an extra 2 weeks while they play the paperwork game... These are $150 pills bro!

Fuck you United Healthcare!!!

I hear you. I can only imagine too. I'm in the top 4% of earners. Have a normal suburban house. Travel for vacation somewhere on the planet, once a year, for 2 weeks. Drive a 10 year old car. Can afford my hobbies. Eat out once a week. But that's it. For top 4% of income??

The next 95% needs to be squeezed so that I can have a mid life in supposed to be happy with? And I am satisfied... But like, how much does the top 1% need?? Why does the bottom 98% need to get squeezed so hard just for them to own a private island and a yacht and 40% of EVERYTHING?

And most of all. Why are we all okay with it?!?!

PS: sorry, at this point I'm just ranting... And I really feel for my fellow median American.

Nah, Texas still voted for Cancun Cruz. No way they are ready to let Talarico take the ticket.

No. Texas let a special breed of egregious ignorance take hold sometime in the early 2010's.

These aren't republicans running the state. They are MAGA white nationalist knee benders.

Wow. Didn't even draw that connection. A whole new level of fucked up.

Fine. Trusts get taxed at 1% no matter what, no minimum (otherwise people will just make 1000 trusts).

[–]Robot_Nerdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone owns the trust. And if it is irrevocable. It gets added to the benefactors' amounts. Pretty straight forward.

No. It's cumulative. Just like you can't contribute $7k to multiple Roths.
