Sales tax as well as VAT are also, by design, regressive taxes.

We turned the planet into a human labour farm.

Yup, I took a large venti in your bathroom

“They’re not concentration camps, if we call them internment camps” taps head

In capitalist America, Ambulance chases you.

I don’t think you’re allowed to burn boy scouts.

I’m going for a piss

Oh yeah, want some help with that?

Unfortunately, I can’t read the language it was written in and I can only go with the people we knew and met who could.

I knew a guy who had “bad to the bone” written on his neck in Chinese. The problem is, the phrase doesn’t translate at all.

So, his tattoo read as “my bones are bad”

Tbf, he was a clown and had something like that coming.

Oh, so just like the bible then.

Instead, try saying “well, then they don’t pay you enough to scan everything now do they?”

Let gaza be an example for AntiZionists.

Don’t worry, they’ve seen examples of illegal European settler colonialism and genocide before. They dont need all these new examples.

They think the only thing holding us back from a race war where we kill all the non-whites is our access to electricity.

I think it genuinely doesn’t even cross their minds that the vast majority of all the other people aren’t violent, racist monsters.

Each to their own but, to me, rich people would make far more, personally, with the American system. I 100% get how you came to your conclusion though. I’m not saying sadism wouldn’t make sense or anything.

To me, its much more that the rich don’t want to pay for the healthcare of the people who earn all of their money for them, rather than active sadism.

More, devoid of empathy and not really seeing them as fellow humans, deserving of basic rights like not dying of poverty. Especially if it costs them money.

Its always been about artificially keeping the price of labour down. I don’t blame people for wanting to move to have a better life but we have to be honest about the real reason it happens.

Theres never a skill shortage. Theres only ever a shortage of companies who are willing to pay people what they’re worth.

Diddy only fits 2/3 of the criteria for that

Thats ok, you can have something else.

Its not just honest defaulting they have to deal with. What most people aren’t made aware of is that when banks etc. lend money to people, the bank creates that money right there and then. Just like typing it into an excel sheet and pressing enter. Through this, private banks create 80% of the money in our system: not the national bank who make the rest which includes all the physical money.

Essentially, we’ve given private banks the licence to print our money and no one seems to think that there might be a problem with that idea.

So, much like the financial crash, there’s no reason not to suspect this is going to have a huge element of banks just creating loads of money for themselves to use.

Those that aren’t unable to pay off loans are running out of money too but aren’t taking out new loans to buy new things. So, there’s no new credit lines being made, in which these things can be lost, a bit like in a ponzi scheme but in reverse. Its also one of the reasons inflation (too much money chasing too few things) is so high. Covid was the perfect time to do it, due to all the loans being issued (money being created). You don’t hide a needle in a haystack. You hide it in a giant pile of needles.

Paying back to loans and paying tax actaullt destroys money too. So, another reason we have too much money is not taxing the rich fairly but tbats another story. Governments create money and then takes tax. What isn’t destroyed is the deficit.

I don’t know why but it reminds me of an American friend I had who couldn’t beleive we didn’t have limits on the amount maggots/maggots eggs allowed in fruit juice.

They refused to drink any fruit juice here until it had to be explained to them that the reason that there’s no acceptable limit on maggots/maggots eggs in our fruit juice is because ANY amount of maggot is over the acceptable amount.

Not their fault of course. We only know what we’re used to.
