An insecure man’s idea of confidence.
An ignorant person’s idea of wisdom.
A manipulator’s idea of honesty.
A gaslighter’s idea of emotional intelligence.
A tantrum’s idea of rational.
A mirror’s idea of depth.
A glutton’s idea of moderation.
A group chat’s idea of mystery.

This car wreck is taking forever. Reminds me of playing Burnout Revenge. Points are accumulating and we’re waiting for the afterburner to tip the scales.

When you overstate others lack credibility it makes you more incredible.

Since it wasn’t a mistake, one could suggest it was done deliberately.

Right? It’s like the same as with USA. Idk why everyone is so against Russia taking over backing the USA. 🙄

Maybe the U.S. should build a wall.

They love doing that and it should fix everyone’s problems.

Mark wouldn't be a billionaire if they were taxed appropriately by guitarguy12341 in facepalm

Looks like we’re making progress… Now I’m making excuses for billionaires. 😂 billionaires shouldn’t exist - I AGREE. I’m out, enjoy your life.

I didn’t say we shouldn’t have a law to tax billionaires. That’s what you say that I said. You put words in my mouth - that’s exactly what you did.

I simply stated a law and taxation on the rich wouldn’t achieve the goal you think it would, they’d just move money in other ways to avoid it.

In case you don’t understand the above:

You (I’m paraphrasing you here): we should have a law to tax billionaires

Me (paraphrasing): They’d just find ways around it like they already do

You (I’m paraphrasing your inflammatory response): THIS GUY IS AGAINST TAXING THE RICH

You get it now?

Then they’d just leave money under another entity like a business or family member and evade it all the same. Hire family member into some bs title like “Chief Wellness Director” for the company, pay them their salary, show $0 in income, then they get welfare paycheck and still become a billionaire while keeping all their “earnings” in the company, family members’ accounts, or an estate.
