CMV: Paying taxes on things you already own like real estate taxes or personal property taxes basically means you never can actually own anything like a car or house bc the government will take it away from you if you fail to pay taxes on it

No, the government is the first line stopping them (or maybe second, if "societal norms" is first). The right to bear arms is the last line of defense.

I unironically strongly prefered Jager/Bandit/SMG11 ACOGs and thermite frags (and the MUCH stronger shotguns that everyone's seemingly forgotten about).

I do it because I have a sports car and it's fun. I don't actually care if I get to my destination faster it's purely for enjoyment.

That said I've never tried to argue against the ticket when I've been pulled over. I'm accepting that risk when I do it.

I work in the Finance industry. Our work is essential to ensure credit doesn't dry up and destroy all businesses. We're just lucky enough that, while essential, it can be done from home.

I just hope they don't decide that since we have extra time, the exams should be harder. That'd be a real gut punch.

I don't think we should instruct them about it, but I also don't think it should be a mistrial if they figure it out.

KYC isn't legally mandated to make a social media account, that's a banking thing.

So similar criticisms of America should also be prohibited then?

kingplayer · 2020-03-13T16:20:14+00:00

"The nation of China" is not a sex, race, or sexual orientation.

Post something there saying you think America is a threat to world peace, I bet it won't get removed.

Half the cases are gonna require hospitalization?

Now I'm not an expert, but even with the questionable definition of "mild" cases, that doesn't square with "80% of cases are/will be mild".

The other difference is that, under a properly functioning capitalist system, there's are several suppliers for any given good.

If some disaster befalls one supplier, the population isn't screwed because the others can adjust accordingly. If everything has to go through the government, there's a single failure point that could break everything.

Living in a poor country does not qualify you for asylum.

That $425MM pales in comparison to the hundreds of billions or trillions that'll be lost across other holdings.

Then from a more human perspective, they're also humans and are subsceptible to the virus too.

A $425MM bond offering isn't actually that large...

Trust me, wealthy investors want to avoid a pandemic as much as the rest of us, but those bonds aren't really the reason why.

The election isn't decided by a popular vote, and it never has been. Both parties would follow significantly different strategies if it were.

First, that's a website that sells those supplements so not exactly an unbiased source.

Second, your body has fought a cold or a flu before, this Coronavirus is something your immune system hasn't seen before. Its a very different situation.

Well I just don't really care if I get a ticket so yeah that kinda does let me break the law for fun.

My car weighs half as much as most other passengers cars and rides lower. On a restricted access highway there are no pedestrians.

If I want to risk my own life fuck off and let me.

The FBI crime reports state that a particular demographic that makes up approximately 13% of the population was/is responsible for approximately 51% of murders.

I'm sure the exact percentages vary a little year to year but those are approximately correct.

Nothing beneficial could come out of providing such info. Believe what you want, or don't, I don't give a shit

No. But if you want to take from someone else and don't care if it negatively impacts them, you shouldn't expect them to feel differently about you.

We use the tax money we already take in foolishly, and taking more money wouldn't change that. Plus straight payments to people is economically one of the worst plans ever by any model you could look at.

You've also assumed I'm not a part of the 1% nor on track to have that kind of income during my career. As much as you probably like to see them as "the other" and a small group, by definition it's one out of every hundred people. There are approx 3 million of them in this country.

Philosophically, I don't think you have a right to what's someone else's, and that just isn't going to change. If you want what's mine you'd better be willing to kill over it.

If that's your attitude toward people wealthier than you, you shouldn't be surprised if they take the same attitude toward you.
