I wouldn’t want to “go back” to it. But we do know that the 90% tax on the wealthy is a viable plan to fund the social services and needs of the people. And we also know that it needs to happen.
Edit: I hope it’s clear I was not advocating for something or anything like a return to 1950’s values lol
Yes, of course there was systemic racism and women couldn’t even have personal checking accounts without approval from a male….
I’m just saying that unless taxes go up to 90% on folks making over a couple million dollars a year then we’ll never get there again.
The system was created and developed by rich folks to ensure that rich folks continued to accumulate more and more wealth. Economists seem to me to be just working backwards from that point without ever mentioning it.
We had a middle class when taxes on the wealthy were 50-90 percent. Unless we bring that back, the ‘economy’ is bullshit.
Referring to the USA of course.
But Venezuela’s economy collapse was caused mainly by US foreign policy. It may have been exacerbated by Maduro’s or Chavez’s policy, but the US was the cause.
25 years ago the internet was still easy dial up and smart phones were coming out like you’d go to the library with your friends to check your email
MySpace lol
No parachute man, the stoner won’t allow it
Do you know if the rockets go towards the spin of the earth, or against it? I guess towards the spin would be going west, against it east? Because we sping towards the sun from that direction we labeled east and west. Sorry, I’m dumb lol happy Saturday
Erhapspay ig pay atin lay?
I knew there were memes of him with a distorted face, but I still don’t know why. Apparently his views on some topics are fairly racist, sexist, homophobic, in general I think…
but I guess he did support free speech which apparently the people who really loved him do not.
I probably agree with the dude on one or two issues but I’m pretty sure he was just another grifter for the republicans. No one deserves to die on the internet like that I guess, he did say some people had to die for second amendment freedoms though I have no clue
Are you trying to suggest that driving at higher speeds is safer than driving at lower speeds? Because that goes against the laws of physics
In the case of traffic, keeping a larger following distance can quite literally solve the stop and go break waves that occur…
Trying to race ahead and get ahead by one car at a time makes the problem worse.
That’s all this is saying.
You can not solve the problem ahead of you, you can only affect the traffic behind you.
Keep beating your straw man I guess
You’re quite literally incorrect and talking out of your ass
You are incorrect. You are the cause of the traffic jam lol, literally.
I’ve had plenty of girls buy me a drink… I’m not stereotypically attractive but kind of a dirty hippy so but…. Ok wait I’m a dumb ass… d’Oh!!!
Yes, I think I would want to live.
I don’t think we can truly empathize with how strong our will to live is.
Also, I think questions like these tend to cause us to dehumanize folks with disabilities. (Edit: correction, I don’t think it’s the question that dehumanizes folks with disabilities, I think it is the thoughtless answer given by folks that tends to dehumanize)
Folks with disabilities absolutely can contribute to society. The most obvious example is Stephen Hawking. He could only move his eyeballs or something ridiculous like that, although I believe he did start off fully functional and slowly lost control of his muscles over time.
There’s the issue of ‘being a burden’ in family or caretakers, which is more an issue of health care in our society (USA here). It is not the fault of the disabled person that they need health care.
We are all a drain on society. No one lives in a vacuum.
No one is self sustaining, no one lives without the help from society without which we would all most likely die in a few weeks if not sooner.
Folks with disabilities are humans. It’s society’s job to take care of all humans. Period.
“If I died and went to heaven, I would sell my soul to the devil just for the chance to come back and stub my toe….” —— paraphrase from a line in a poem by Tim Seibles.
A hundred million dollars is 10% of one billion.
$100,000,000 is only ten percent of a billion dollars.
I personally, am a kind of guy who likes to walk around with ten thousand dollars cold hard cash. But I always keep it in my dirty socks so they will be sure to get foot fungus when they rob me.
And my feet get real sweaty, too.
Haha!
I line my socks with fake two dollar bills from the monthly potluck Alesha or whatever her name is always brings. I bring stuff sometimes, too.
Cool thanks
