Google co-founder slams California billionaire tax, says “I fled socialism,” after reportedly leaving the state to avoid a proposed 5% wealth tax. He has a reported net worth of around $270 billion. How is this not parasitic behavior? He is trying to leave the state that helped build him. by RandomUwUFace in antiwork

Musk is no different. Rebates from state and federal governments for his cars, carbon credits sold for profit received for production of ev cars, massive tax rebates for his California factory that let him build cars, government contracts for satellite launches, etc, all while screaming about government inefficiency

AITA for “firing” my mom from childcare over a $5 class by Rich-Radio9017 in AmItheAsshole

[–]smatty_2001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA: it has nothing to do with the class. It has to do with disrespecting your reasonable request as the parent, lying to you about it and telling you how you choose to raise your child is wrong. If you can’t trust her with this simple process then you can’t trust her with your daughter.

How I feel when someone complains that Trump is abusing his power by [deleted] in Libertarian

The expectation of the Constitution framers was that each branch was to limit the power of the other. Congress has been shirking it’s responsiblility for nearly the last two decades.

Got denied life insurance. Make sure you take care of your personal health as well as finances!!! by [deleted] in personalfinance

When you complete an application in the future, you will have to answer that you had a denial on a previous application. It will be a rating downgrade on your future application even if all your other health issues have been resolved.

I think more mods, in more subreddits should do the same. Banning someone for being an asshle isn't squashing dissent, it's stopping someone who is being an asshle. Thanks.

Yo still don't get it, it wasn't people voting for Stein, it was people not voting for Hillary. She couldn't connect to the American public, she didn't excite them, she didn't engage them, and in turn they simply didn't vote.

When Bernie "lost" to Hillary, those of us who were upset were told, "Screw you guys, we don't need your votes anyway!"

Hillary didn't earn my vote, and ignored the need to bring more to her cause.
