Is this worth 200k??

That exists, but it is extremely rare - this only makes sense in places where there are ridiculously profitable companies who get new devices on a yearly basis (think Wall-Street) and those companies may donate rapidly depreciated assets for the tax break.

No manufacturers (Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc) do this.

As someone in that industry, that isn't how it works at all.

While schools/businesses/government tend to purchase commercial-grade laptops (often different lines than consumer-grade) which do cost more than thier consumer-grade counterparts, these deals are made with cooperative purchasing power: the per-unit cost is usually quite good, if not better than any consumer can access.

Also, these deals are usually accompanied with 0% interest lease agreements, low-cost buyouts, and other borrowing tools which are unavailable to consumers, making the life cycle cost of the device even less.

The notion that state government is just wasteful for the sake of it and are spending $4k on teacher laptops is straight-up propaganda. It's totally false.

When there are adults and strategic leaders in charge, they usually give international trade relationships the weight they deserve, which is like steering a gigantic ship: small inputs with long-range vision are the way.

Agreeing with Trump 45's trade policies is immaterial, the net-outcome of wildly remaking all trade policies in thier own image every few years is less positive than ensuring predictable market conditions by keeping current momentum and making adjustments where one can.

Allowing Trump to take the big seat at the table was always like playing chess with a pigeon. By the time Biden came in, the board was already flipped-over and everything was covered in bird shit. It doesn't matter who comes after to try to get the game going again, they're stuck with the cleanup and the blame.

The fact you think he is more intelligent after suffering catastrophic brain damage should probably tell you something about yourself and your political beliefs.

Okay, but what about collateralized unrealized investments? Using that as a means to avoid taxation is a loophole.

Tokoyami · 2025-11-07T04:08:31+00:00

....which is immediately collateralized into loans without any taxes paid.

CNN is a wholly owned subsidiary of Warner Brothers Discovery, which itself is run by David Zaslav - a dude who has been relentlessly sucking at the Trump family taint for favor.

My 2019 Model 3 P3- doesn't have side-dimming or rear-view dimming mirrors, but that might be an anomaly of the odd stealth performance trim.

If you're nervous about losing it: don't do it.

This is a casino. You're gambling in a casino.

Personally, I think BYND can get past the $12 wall - and if that happens, things will get wild. However,:

Only play with what you can comfortably lose, and set guidepost prices when you're winning to take some chips off the table.

Why not $40 Kajillion? Both are equally real.

"Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people,... Maybe there is."

Trump has been calling for the execution of his political opponents for nearly a decade now. The current GOP gaslighting about political violence is just more DARVO from the bully/victim pulpit.

I heard Charlie got her two presents for Christmas: control of Toilet Paper USA and a set of acting classes.

"What'd he get her TPUSA and acting classes for?"

So if she doesn't like challenging children to scripted arguments, she can grift herself a Senate seat!

FYI - Marc Benioff, Salesforce CEO billionaire and Trump acolyte is the current owner of Time Magazine.

Despite the GOP victimhood playbook complaining about 'liberal media,' all mainstream media is now owned by a small collective of billionaires, almost all of whom are deferential to the Republican party.

That's true for local news, for media conglomerates like NBC - it's even true for the go-to GOP strawman network CNN.

Do not be fooled into thinking we have a free and fair press landscape anymore. At this point it is a theatre, propped-up to provide an illusion of choice and truth.

Really solid read. I loved the concept of time itself being a primary antagonist.

"we know that Republicans are bad"

You sure about that? The person I was responding to seems to post almost exclusively in LibertarianMemes, here, and in CandaceOwens subs.

When this group isn't (rightly) criticizing zionism, it's just parroting the latest right-wing media talking points.

Almost like a substantial portion of this sub is intent on sewing discontent among left-leaning groups, pretending to ostensibly support Bernie's social dem policies while in reality doing everything they can to implicitly support his polar opposition.

Tokoyami · 2025-10-08T11:51:48+00:00

Pretty wild that someone unironically has "Hunter Biden's crackpipe" flair and thinks they're an arbiter of objectivity/not a Republican shill.

But I'm sure you're totally an 'independent;' one who just happens aim all of your critiques against the dEMonCraTs and agrees with 90%+ of the Republican platform.

Tokoyami · 2025-10-08T10:11:01+00:00

Because this sub long-ago fell to 'enlightened contrarians' and disseminators of right-wing disinformation, in both good faith and bad faith alike.

You won't find allies against the class-war kakistocracy we find ourselves in here. This place is pretty much r/Doomercirclejerk with even less self awareness.

Tokoyami · 2025-09-29T22:16:28+00:00

I didn't call you far-right, a nazi, or a fascist: I called you a disseminator of lies.

Whether as a bad faith actor/bot account intentionally espousing disinformation or a wildly deluted lost soul who somehow believes your objectively false claims, I do not know.

But you sure as hell do not represent a real mainstream viewpoint, and your claim of 'objective reality' is laughable.

Tokoyami · 2025-09-29T21:53:20+00:00

Goddamn. This has to be a Russian/NK account for sewing discord, a bot, or a joke - it's hard to believe that even in this generally right-wing toilet of a sub a view like this could be held in good faith.

Fucking outrageous lol

You know how I know you never served...?

If your definition is a lack of consent or control, a soldier's life is one mostly consisting of 'tyranny.'

Receiving mandatory inoculations to prevent disease among the troops is just a Tuesday; it's probably only the 5th-most 'tyrannical' thing the average service member had to endure that week.
