This is legitimately the dumbest argument. You will just dismiss any commenters who disagree with you (“that’s your opinion, donate it to the government!”).

Besides, there are literal billionaires who will actually be affected by this clamoring for it. No one who has less than $100 million will be affected. No I don’t need a history lesson about income tax. If you want to live in a country without taxes, Somalia will welcome you.

P.S.: I have more than $20K in personal investments.

Lol. You are ignoring the fact that we already tax unrealized gains: property tax. And that’s actually harder to value than something on a stock market.

An “unknown number”? When you open your Robinhood app, does it show numbers? Because if it doesn’t I think you need to message their help desk.

The only proposals are for massive gains above $100 million. I think a 1% tax on that would be just fine.

Like drawing a picture of Pitbull from memory.

This is also fake. Those are all incorrect.

Uh, more like “Escape from New York”

I mean, I would assume that someone who doesn’t get a new enough car doesn’t have enough money to pay for commercial insurance. Also offering people rides on the street is a bad idea (because you can get robbed) and possibly illegal. This is just running an unlicensed taxi service. Gypsy cabs have been around for hundreds of years. It’s not a good idea.

That’s a terrible idea. His insurance won’t cover him in an accident. If a passenger is injured he may be on the hook for the medical care.

What a weird thing to say.

Edit: lol, 1 day old account

No, you will not “have to do it”. Either they can afford to pay a qualified person to do it, or they can’t. If they can’t afford a more expensive person, they definitely can’t afford to fire you. You are the cheap one.

Think about it: if they put themselves in this situation, they are going to end up cleaning it themselves. “Need money for rent and food”? If you have a crappy minimum wage job, you have the power. Literally no one above you wants to do your work. You can definitely tell them “no”. Do you think there’s some shortage of crappy minimum wage jobs?

Reminder to anyone still working retail: if your job description isn’t “janitor”, you don’t need to clean that up. It’s a biohazard and they can pay more expensive people with better equipment to do it.

This is a child’s thinking. A child wants the bully to get punched in the nose. An adult knows that this comes from insecurity. Bullies do not fear violence, they fear ridicule.

The funny thing is, if such a thing happened Kroger would definitely be upset. I say, if they want to haggle with you about every orange and apple, they can hire people to do it. If they use “AI”, then they have to accept that people will easily game the system.

Lol. Pickleball stuff is getting more expensive than tennis equipment. It’s actually a good time to get into a real sport.

You can buy new tennis balls for like $1 each, while pickleballs are more. Think about that: tennis balls are rubber and fuzz, hard to make. Pickleballs are just plastic. Same with the racquets. Pickleball stuff is just plastic and maybe a rubber grip. Tennis racquets can be all kinds of expensive carbon fiber.

Uh, Android is the alternative to Apple’s iOS. Android is much more customizable.

Like I said, I’m not an expert but I think big drones that can take down a bridge aren’t piloted by two dudes in a bush.

Ok then, fighter-bombers or more artillery. If the bridge is in range of Ukrainian drones, then the drone base station is in range of counter fire.

Plus, as soon as the cars can drive themselves people will stop needing Uber in many cases.

No parking? Just tell your car to go park on a street 10 blocks away.

Drunk? Car drives itself while you sleep.

Going to the airport? Car drops you off and returns home. Car also picks you up when you are back.

This is combined with the fact that people will do more disgusting things in an Uber without the driver there. If you have ever driven for Uber, you know that 10% of people are trying to eat or drink in the car. They are going to spill and it’s going to end up like the back of a bus.

Well I’m not an expert, but it’s possible to use cruise missiles and long range bombers to provide cover for the few days it might take to evacuate. Maybe they are busy blowing up apartment buildings and hospitals though.

Ukrainian forces were "striking pontoon bridges and engineering equipment in the western part of their operational zone

These engineers have a shit job if the military is forcing them to work under fire. Usually you try to defend the less armed part of the military (medics, command, engineers, supply) because that’s what really powers the organization. If you can’t defend your weak spots, you are going to lose.

They were not that close, they just drove in from Belarus and dropped some paratroopers with no support. That’s a good strategy for losing your best troops.

They also didn’t use a few days of bombing to soften up the targets. Ukraine was surprised but all of their equipment was intact. That’s like number one in any attack plan.

They basically underestimated the Ukrainians and thought they would just run away. Those paratroopers were very good but they are only scary to local police, not to a trained military. Without heavy support, they were sitting ducks at the airport.
