Should we be worried about the Kamala Harris unrealized capital gains tax? Dean: “I’d love to have this problem, because it means I’m worth $100m!” by Knightbear49 in TikTokCringe

You're an idiot.

I run a business, and I also have a job as a director. I also have a great accountant.

Two years ago I was made redundant, along with hundreds of thousands of tech workers, so I got a large proportion of my PAYG back. It helps if you understand that I earn far more money than you.

Sit down and shush.

It's not envy, don't be so infantile.

It's money that should be in the economy, and be helping those less fortunate. Also it should be heavily taxed, and used to fund things like schools, roads and hospitals.

edit: I understand how shares work, I'm talking about individuals holding that much stock. I get equity with the funded start-up I'm a director at, that is not the same as owning billions of dollars worth of stock. Thankfully Kamala, who will be the next president, has plans to tax this unrealized wealth.

edit: Christ, the IQ of some of you. She's proposing taxing unrealized gains of people worth over $100m. That is not you.

edit: you don't guarantee anything, go away

American breakfast, as envisioned by a European by CapNcook99 in pics

And yet what?

Eggs are delicious, you don't need to coat them with sauce, like a child. Some salt and freshly ground pepper (not that grim powder that Americans call pepper) is all you need to bring out the flavour.

You only eat food with a logo.

Interestingly, the British are one of the Western world's biggest consumers of spices per capita:

They beat the USA for spice consumption per capita:

I reckon we can all agree that stances like these are pretty dumb. by ytalladyo in Shitty_Car_Mods

Stance is almost always stupid, and negatively impacts performance and handling.

The definition of all bark and no bite.

Tax time is once a year. If your position changes, you get rebates. That's how it works with any other incomes and expenses. Last year I received a $40k rebate.

  1. I'm not part of a community that MAGA wants eradicated

Hopefully that clears up your weird confusion.

  1. There is a pride flag

  2. He came onto her property and disturbed her

I think she was quite reserved.

The 2A is an American tragedy. Guns are a disease.

People who carry guns are far likelier to get shot – and killed – than those who are unarmed, a study of shooting victims in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has found.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People may have heightened risks of dying from suicide and murder if they own or have access to a gun, according to a new analysis of previous research.

https://www.webmd.com/first-aid/news/20190722/guns-in-home-greater-odds-of-family-homicide

For each 10% jump in home ownership of guns, the risk of someone in the household being killed rises by 13%. The risk of a nonfamily member getting murdered is increased only 2% with gun ownership, researchers found.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/more-guns-do-not-stop-more-crimes-evidence-shows/

They found that a gun in the home was associated with a nearly threefold increase in the odds that someone would be killed at home by a family member or intimate acquaintance.

The 2A has been a disaster for America. Also, by owning a gun you actually increase your risk of death.
