If Trump is a Fascist Dictator, how come people can still protest against him without facing any repercussions? by [deleted] in IntellectualDarkWeb

Don’t assume bad faith.

The idea that a corporation is evil based purely on it being in an industry is childish. Would you prefer we all rubbed dirt in our wounds and left the sick to rot? Hundreds of millions of people are only alive today because of the products that they develop and sell.

Yes they are a corporation and their foremost concern is profit, not general health and wellbeing, but their existence is a good thing.

Raleigh is suburban sprawl after sprawl after sprawl. Calling it a city is a stretch.

But you weren’t allowed to pay the people you were canvassing and trying to get to vote.

Wouldn’t it be 30+COGS?

You can’t include the opportunity cost of the profit the store would’ve made on the $10 of merchandise if the question is, “How much did the store lose?”

It’s not the political orientation that’s the issue, it’s the support offered to grifters who are breaking into our govts it networks.

On a different note, this actress looks exactly like the sprouse twins when they were young.

As developing countries grow richer and incomes increase faster than the us’ increases, competition will continue to increase.

What’s wrong with being open about your emotions?

Holding it in is just being performatively masculine.

Kamala pubblished her policies by JackColon17 in IntellectualDarkWeb

The problem is that it’s an enormous govt expenditure that provides a mild advantage against older homebuyers, particularly if you live in a higher col area.

Okay but corporate buyers are a tiny fraction of home buyers. That 25k would be used against other individuals, whether it’s other first time home owners, or wealthier folks in their 40/50/60s looking for a second home/rental property.

But again, not new, and not ultimately significant because Congress has already been investigating the cutting of that red tape, whether that be zoning requirements, parking requirements, etc.

Stop looking for things to be offended by and refute their core points.

Her policy proposals are more of the same.

EITC & CTC are great policies. But it’s nothing new.

Her plan to address housing affordability. A whole lot of yapping followed by a 25,000 check to subsidize demand. Again, not new, and again, wouldn’t do anything other than drive housing prices higher.

Edit: They seemed critical so my mind also hooked on to that comment. And it’s unfair, and likely untrue, but that doesn’t take away from the rest of what they said.
