…you don’t cash out your entire retirement accounts but when you retire.

250k in capital gains, and instead of the usual 10%, you’re paying 17% on it. Because that’s a shit ton of stock to sell in one year

It’s called that if you’re not a billionaire and it’s legal, too. Taking your personal deduction is tax avoidance.

“any man that has to say, “I am king” is no true king”

They’re very stupid. Most adults have reading comprehension below a 6th grade level

It’s just unclear why this other one would ever be needed…

Did we already forget that BG3 existed like once year later…?

I’ve never seen that acronym used for that. It’s usually Financially Independent, Retired Early

Those subsidies mostly go to huge Ag corps that pretend they’re split up into hundreds of little family farms…

It also wouldn’t be running out of wages hadn’t been stagnating for the last several decades.

As more and more people earn less and less of the country’s output, that means more of it is above that cap, in the hands of the rich, and never put into the fund.

I just think we shouldn’t shield these evil people by pretending it’s “the business” doing it. It’s humans. Really really shitty humans, but they made the decision to do this to a kid, on camera, thinking it wouldn’t immediately backfire in this age of social media.

So not only are they assholes, but also fucking stupid.

They’re also just straight murdering entire sections of the population in plain sight of the rest of the world, but sure, the water thing too.

Nah. There was a meeting of actual humans who got together and decided to trick a child hoping no one would notice. Said meeting likely cost more than the said console did in salaries, too.

So… if it has robots and space and cloning, its science fiction and if it doesn’t it’s not?

At no point did I say this. Even remotely.

You can’t just inverse something I said and assume it’s still equivalent. You’d think someone this passionate about reading would have a higher level of comprehension…

There was no point in me reading past this pathetic strawman. Hope you enjoyed writing that pointless essay.

The fact that the media ignored that both Bush and the Trump admin conducted all their business over private emails is one of the biggest betrayals

And to think he was trying so hard to save them from the wind turbines, and this is how they repay him…

I mean, terrorism is just politically motivated violence.

This country was founded by terrorists.
