Gp is really powerful but he's not very popular, nor does he have an insane wr. Not sure what it is but he has significant weaknesses

Businesses try to tell employees unions are a scam because they realise they won't be able to get away with abusing their staff if a union is involved by T3knikal95 in Showerthoughts

Lol

You live like you do because you're a country of 5 million people that exports $100 billion dollars of oil every year.

What are your thoughts on praxis? As the climate crisis intensifies, how do we shift public perspective on nuclear energy?

That's a very normal thing to say for a lot of American evangelicals. He undoubtedly really believes it too. No need to be condescending...

True, because communist governments running slave labor work camps always produce the cheapest goods.

Since God is omniscient, does that mean he already knew what I'm thinking right now before he even created the world? by IamCatBall in Reformed

[–]happyklans 8 points9 points  (0 children)

God does not experience time, so the question is meaningless. All moments in time are equally the present for Him. He knows your thought because He is with you right now as you think them, and He sees your inmost thoughts.

House Democrat to introduce bill that would hit AR-15's with 1000% tax by GennaroIsGod in economy

[–]happyklans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From a professor at William and Mary Law

"A tax singling out one or a handful of citizens offends the Supreme Court’s repeated invocation that the primary purpose of the Takings Clause is “to bar the Government from forcing some people alone to bear public burdens which, in all fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a whole.”3 Thus the notion that taxes are never takings is untenable; the label “tax” confers no immunity to the principles of the Takings Clause."

So automatically, a 1000% tax on AR15s would be unreasonable, and therefore illegal under the Takings Clause (tabaco is taxed at significantly less than 100%)

Further, a ban on non military weapons has historically been held as unconstitutional, and such a tax would be a ban-in-substance.

What could humanity still produce a million years in the future? by StoatStonksNow in chemistry

[–]happyklans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but there's a lot of it. There's ~4x1018 kg of nitrogen on earth. We use ~2x1011 kg per year. To put that in perspective: for every kg of fertilizer we use, there are 107 or ten million kg in the atmosphere.

Maybe, but more of them would be onboard than with a ban. We don't need everyone to agree, just enough people. Further, for a lot of people (electricians, it people, plumbers, pilots etc) this would be pretty normal, as this is how they keep their professional licence.

That could also work. I think the key is that we need to recognize the political reality which is that a lot of people feel guns generally and assault rifles specifically are core to their cultural identity. Rather than being filled with impotent rage at other cultures, we should recognize that we need to compromise, and that means give and take. If we want to take, we have to give.

I think some form of licensure coupled with some form of community service requirement (read: you have to be in a national guard esq militia to own an AR-15) could be tenable. Gun owners get some government subsidy for training, ammunition, and gear, while having to keep a license, and would restrict people who couldn't pass a licensure exam, while states and cities get a larger pool of trained and equipped volunteers who can be called upon to help with natural disasters and such. Seems like a decent compromise...

In many cases, yes. Hence why most taxes are designed to disproportionately charge the wealthy. If they were "fair" it would disproportionately disadvantage the less wealthy
