  • Yeah, I legitimately don’t understand it. I used to like his show back around 2016-2017sh time frame. Back then, he usually just had well known comedians on and shot the shit and it was funny. Hell, he’d even have cool scientists on discussing new research they were doing that he found interesting. He’d have the occasional fringe topic, e.g. UFOs, conspiracies, etc., but it was always done in an entertaining way and wasn’t overly political.

    I don’t know what the hell happened, but around 2019/2020 he just went way to the far right and became a giant piece of shit. I haven’t listened to his garbage show in years.














  • You’re ignoring the fundamentals of economy by hand waving away all the other types of small businesses and only focusing on the most obvious targets to justify your argument. Construction, legal, retail, medical, mechanical, etc. all make a community even possible. And this benefit is a deduction, not a credit, so taxpayers aren’t directly paying anything for this benefit.

    Look, I’m not disagreeing with you that everyone needs help. I completely agree. I’m also not going to defend all small businesses as being a good thing by default, because there are lots of shitty local places that pay and treat their staff awfully. But I think this is a simple win to allow average people to pursue their goals in business if they want to and make it just a little bit easier for them.

    Fixing rent, grocery costs, healthcare, worker salaries, etc is far more complex than simply giving a tax deduction.
