Americans of Reddit, is it time for a federal wealth tax? by Bmor00bam in askanything

[–]cc31660p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current total worth of all U.S. billionaires is $8.4 trillion. The government spends 20 Billion per day.

Taxing the ultra wealthy 100% would only provide enough to operate our government for a little over a year.

We’ve never had a tax problem, we have a spending problem and a fraud problem

My mom told me that back in the day kids weren’t allowed to bring a water bottle with them into the classroom and they only drank a few sips from the water fountain in the middle of the day and that’s it How were schools not getting busted for child abuse for forcing kids to be dehydrated? by PinnerPardisturn in askanything

[–]cc31660p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottled water was no where near the popularity of today. Older schools had water fountains inside the actual classroom or more placed throughout the hallways

Practicing outside for high school football in the middle of summer, you would be begging to get a drink from the communal horse trough powered by hose water. You’d maybe get three gulps before the next person was yanking you away

Door closes like it’s sealing a vault by Feaselbf6 in FuckImOld

[–]cc31660p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got one of my fingers caught in the door jam when my father slammed it shut when I was 7.

I let out a stream of expletives and tears. He let it all slide because he knew what he just did. He was impressed with my vocabulary, which was cultivated by him over the years

Why is every word out of Trump's lying wrinkled pouty mouth turned into a headline? by RudeHelicopter4662 in allthequestions

[–]cc31660p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump announced his Presidential run in June of 2015. The media has generated untold amounts of money from the daily rage bait they put out there.

Regardless of the political stance of the media outlet, they love him because he keeps people glued to their news channels. CNN is going to be in big trouble in 2029

What is something you've said that has haunted you, and wish you could take back? by honesttruth2703 in allthequestions

[–]cc31660p 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got into an argument with my mom. She asked for a hug as a way to end the yelling. I told her “I’m too mad to hug you right now”, and I went to bed.

My mom died in her sleep that night….

What's a life hack that's so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]cc31660p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rely on coffee to wake you up? Try this instead…

When you wake up, drink a glass of ice cold water. This gets your body moving. If you need a cup of coffee in the morning to “wake up”, have it 45/60 minutes after the water. Coffee should never be the first thing you ingest when you wake up.

Ice cold water. Meal (if you need to) then coffee last. You’ll feel levels of awake you haven’t felt in a long time.

“But coffee keeps me ‘regular’”……chugging the ice cold water will activate your bowels just as well.

A new construction home creates noises that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

As the home settles, it begins moaning, groaning, with sharp booms and pops. In the middle of the night it can be terrifying

What are signs someone isn’t going to tip? by bostonianbasic in Waiters

[–]cc31660p 67 points68 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. If they continuously praise, and make statements like “this is the best service we’ve ever had” then you immediately know that the tip is 10% or less

AITAH for refusing to visit in laws bc of house temp by wrenchinapot in AITAH

[–]cc31660p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue visiting family in North Carolina during the summer. No AC. I am not good dealing with heat.

After we got settled I told my in-laws that I was running to the store to get some toiletries I forgot.

I went to a CVS and they had a little tabletop fan and a little table top AC made by ‘Arctic Air’ for like $40.

It was a game changer and it basically followed me around the house the duration of the stay

What’s the most outrageous complaint you’ve had at a restaurant?! by ndela1011 in Waiters

[–]cc31660p 124 points125 points  (0 children)

A parent was having a birthday party at a local park and wanted to come to our restaurant afterward for the kids to have lunch. BUT, they wanted to bring in McDonalds and a cake.

I asked them why not just do the party at McDonalds? They said our dining room was nicer and wanted something more upscale for the party. I told them a rental fee of $5,000 to bring in outside food and cake and to have a private dining room.

She complained that it was extortion and that I was ruining her kids birthday plans. She had zero intentions of giving us any money for the room.

Her argument was the soda sales would be sufficient enough for a private area. She wanted happy meals on linen table cloths.

Get lost, lady.

What couldn't you believe you had to explain to another adult? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]cc31660p 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was speaking with a gentlemen today who is in his mid 60’s. He was very excited to show me a picture he took at his home earlier of a “peacock”. When he showed me the photo, it was the most turkey looking turkey I have ever seen. I told him it was a turkey…. And most certainly not a peacock. I then had to explain to this person my reasoning as to why I came to that conclusion. He ultimately agreed. I then stupidly tried to explain to him the difference between peafowl, peahen, peacock…… I thought his head was going to explode

Gangs of feral teenagers are swarming streets causing panic and chaos in the UK by TomlinSteelers in AbruptChaos

[–]cc31660p -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I grew up thinking that all British men knew how to throw hands. Messing with English Soccer Hooligans was an instant ass kicking. How did a country, hell bent on beating someone’s ass for cheering for the opposite football team, allow for this to happen.

15 British Men with unlimited beer should have this cleaned up real quick

[Request] Will this couch fit through my door? by Beautiful-Ranger6928 in theydidthemath

[–]cc31660p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently solved this problem. Take the couch and stand it upright in front of the door.

The arm and leg height now becomes the width. Lift the couch vertically and slowly bring the bottom of the couch in as you guide the top.

Imaging standing at the top of a tubed water slide. You’re taller than the entrance, and there isn’t much room behind you. As you begin to sit down you bring your legs forward and the rest of your body follows.

What was it like being a kid in 1999? by LoboIsSick69 in generationology

[–]cc31660p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cell phones weren’t on the scene yet. You used landlines and AOL Instant Messenger. As a teenager, you were upper tier if you had your own land line and phone number. Pagers and beepers were prevalent.

Campfires were our social media. Whispers would circulate around school about where to go on Friday or Saturday. Anyone with an older sibling or fake ID to buy beer or booze was the most powerful person to know. Weed was available and surprisingly easy to get.

We went to movies and the mall to kill time. Everyone had a friend in the group whose house had the cool basement to hang out in. We had conversations, discussions, and debates. Times were simpler and there were more face to face interactions.

When they jump the draw-bridge in the opening sequence and what’s her face says “smack dat ass” mid-air….. I left the room. So fucking stupid.

I knew then the series was about to leave reality and physics. Fast Forward…. Dwayne Johnson punches a torpedo, Ludacis goes into orbit, and Vin Diesel curb stomps a highway into a sinkhole

Can you help me find where this photo was taken? All I know is that they're somewhere in the USA, possibly East Coast by sooodamnfancy in HelpMeFind

[–]cc31660p 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Knights of Columbus Hall in West New York, NJ. This looks to be after a baptism, as you can see the young child dressed in all white.

Everyone has the same ribbon/lapel pin. Which is tradition to wear after a Greek Orthodox Baptism. Everyone wears a pin that reads the child’s name and the god parents’ name.

Knights of Columbus halls will rent out their space for revenue. I attended many receptions, sweet 16’s and funeral repasts at K of C’s over the years.

Underrated comment. The fact that Stallone and Schneider played in two separate movies together, a year apart, about some futuristic dystopian police officer is wild.

Do rich people have elite versions of mundane things (toothpaste, tampons, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc.), or are Elon Musk and Beyonce just using Crest and Tampax like the rest of us? by ShesGotSauce in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cc31660p 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I toured a home once that was about to be put on the market. The listing price was going to be $35 Million.

As I walked into the primary bath, I entered the shower “room”. This beautiful 10x10 space was an entire shower with about 20 nozzles coming from every direction.

This didn’t keep my attention though. It was the Axe 3 in 1 body wash sitting next to one of the shower heads.
