whoa this looks cool

Probably using a group chat or something. I can’t imagine he personally knows all 50 of these guys tbh. I hope not at least for the reasons you indicated.

This post right here officer, look at this man saying such illegal words on the internet!

Interesting. I would have imagined, considering the small price, people would just pay the minimal cost to get plastic - bags but it seems people actually began to avoid them which is great news.

I feel like Russians posting that this is obviously false, implies to me this is actually correct.

I feel you have literally picked the single most unique example for markets not going up. You make it seem like the US’s market will need to experience the same thing eventually, and I don’t think most people would agree with that assertion. Japan’s economy is a very strange and unique case.

We can’t know for sure, but its historically been the case. In addition, the expectation for infinite growth stems a lot from continued research and development. We continue to make processes more efficient making products cheaper and easier for more people to buy. You can say that the econmy will stop growing at some point, but we just don’t know when that may happen.

idk, I disagree that /r/TheDonald’s existence was what sparked MAGA. Russia had such a heavy hand in the creation and support of MAGA that they would have found another place to start the fire. TheDonald was just the largest pile of kindle available… with many more around it. I could imagine they would have focused even harder on facebook, or news coverage or whatever else.

Regardless, I do agree with the rest of your point that TheDonald had a huge influence on MAGA

Sorry I was originally responding to another comment, but I figured I’d make mine a main comment to the post. The missing context to my post, that I just added, is “According to forbes, his net worth is about 5.4 billion. 276 million is about 4% of his net worth paid in tax.”

So adding to your point that the tax system is fucked, I’m paying a higher percentage of taxes than a billionaire, and I’m not even a millionaire.

Yeah I’m hoping that person is young

Also if the person is barely starting to work… which I hope is the case and not that this person doesn’t have a lot saved.

according to forbes, his net worth is about 5.4 billion. 276 million is about 4% of his net worth paid in tax. I just checked what I payed in taxes vs my net worth. I paid about 11% of my net worth(not income) in taxes this last year. Damn that sucks looking at the numbers lol. At least he’s almost halfway towards getting there and happy to pay. I’m curious what it looks like for others. I’m in my 30s for reference in high cost of living location.

Why are net worth taxes stupid compared to taxing loans?

For sure that’s the case. This has been a strategy since at least the 70s

I can’t answer all of your questions, but with Trump I can answer them: One amazing example is he helped overturn roe v wade. He was able to assign 3 of the 9 justices of the supreme Court which allowed them to basically help make abortion illegal in some states.

He caused the longest government shutdown in US history for what small amount of money, that had already been offered by Democrats.

He incited a the first real insurrection in US history (even the south didnt try to take over the US, just suceed from the union)

There’s are just some examples of the problems cuased by Trump…

Brexit has also caused extensive harm to the UK but I’ll let others expand on that

Boba teas suck without straws. accessibility issues as well. Mixed drinks are pretty good with straws (all the ice, and if it needs to be mixed using a straw serves a dual purpose).

Thanks for the insight!

I’m not familiar with what’s happening in Germany, but i do trust apnews. What do you believe is false about the article? Have gas prices gone up in Germany?

We may not be the first, but I’m glad we’re making rifht to repair stronger!
