@wjmaggos Well that's just a bad idea.

What you're describing is tearing down instead of building up, or more practically, it sets up cross purposes for the practice while supporting really unrealistic mythologies about how political power works.

If taxation is about political power then the country is generally going to reject it because most people aren't interested in social manipulation like that.

So when you inject such an idea it's very counterproductive. At least don't say it out loud even if you believe in such foolishness.

New theory... The **only** intellectual thing that seperates us from the rest of animals is the ability to do math.

All the things we dont usually think of as math but we associate with being human is in fact math... language is math, logic is math, its all math... language is simply our ontology we use to express logic as symbols we can express. We have a natural intuitive understanding (well some of us, to some extent) of prepositional logic and language is more or less a manifestation of that.

I hate to break it to you but the whole "tax the rich" thing is what the rich want you debating... why? Cause you can tax them all you want, but when our budget is 60% military they will still get rich and we will go in debt no matter how much you tax them.

Ya know what the rich really dont want? You fighting to get the military budget slashed in half leaving more than enough money to cut taxes for everyone (including the rich)... but noooo, any solution that saves everyone money, including the rich, is one that will never be supported.

So many people just get spoon fed a narrative and then its law.

Spent the afternoon volunteering at the local community center. It's heartwarming to give back and make a positive impact. 💙

@freemo hey, it is the fault of capitalism. Wouldn't have high cost of cars and homes without cars and homes available to the public in the first place.

Reminder: logic and reasoning is **not** the determination of the truth. It is about defining the relationships between the truthfulness of separate statements. That is all.

Next time someone trys to blame on the cost of cars or a home now compared to in the 50's or at the the turn of the century just remind them we dont have a capitalism problem, we have a population problem. For most people in their 40's the population of the planet has virtually doubled since were kids, there isnt as much to go around as there used to be (and since the turn of the century the population has increased 5x).

If you ever buy a hole saw just make sure you buy a whole hole saw, no one wants a whole hole in their hole saw only to find it cant saw whole holes!

Remember everyone, before you go to bed leave out a bowl of seeds and some water for Father Turkey or he wont leave you fresh turkey eggs under the Turkish Tree!

Pictures of me are currently on the front page of 4 wikipedia articles and pictures I've taken are on maybe 30 or so wikipedia pages in total.... I find that a bit cool :)

Merry Thanksgiving, the day we remember the great human-turkey war by feasting on the corpses of our enemies as we have done since time immemorial!

Thanksgiving, the american holiday where we celebrate indigenous people saving our asses by in no way doing anything to honor them and instead make it all about us... ahh good ol' america culture.

Someone needs to do a movie called "Myrtle Kombat" about a nerdy school student who wants to enter the world of kickboxing.

When I was born (early 1980s) the world population was 4.6 billion. Today it is 7.9 billion. Having the entire world population experience a 171% change over just half a lifetime is not sustainable or healthy. Dont let anyone tell you there isnt a population crisis.

@FluentInFinance Hi there, got your follow, thank you. Do you intend to interact with comments and people from this account, or will it be post-only?

Best of luck to you

Facebook rule: posting female nipples will get you banned, unless a baby is sucking on one or more nipples in which case it is allowed.

What they dont say is how old the baby has to be to qualify... if a 20 year old is doing the sucking, ban, if a 20 month old is doing it its fine.... So whats the cutoff before a person sucking on your nipple is too old to be allowed by the rules?
