    Explain how your “point” makes any sense or stands at all, outside of a 5 year old’s version of fairness?

    How is it ‘fair’ to make poor people pay to cover up the fuckup of a multi trillion dollar company? One that doesn’t even pay its fair share in taxes. Is it ‘fair’ that the people making the fuckup keep their employees at starvation levels while they buy jewelry worth more than they’ll see in decades?

    No? Then your point is meaningless when the fairness doesn’t go both ways. You can say your argument stands all day, but its as meaningless as telling me you can jump to the moon.

    Pretending a loan is income and in turn taxing it as such, just because the ‘wrong thing’ was used as collateral, is nonsensically-arbitrary, I think.

    Why not make a law against using unrealized capital gains as loan collateral? Or just force ‘realization’ of the capital at loan time, and they can pay the taxes on that. A home equity loan is against real property, so it wouldn’t be subject to the same issue.









  • Like, I don’t get how anyone could support this. Even the racists. If you want these people out why would you cheer for such an obviously horrifically mismanaged clusterfuck? Ugh

    I think there’s a really crucial fact that you’re unaware of or don’t want to acknowledge: the cruelty is the point. The republicans and their base don’t care that their immigration policy isn’t effective, the tactics are there for social media likes and to instill terror in migrants who may want to come here so they stay home.

    The irony is that these fucking window lickers complain about how bad the “authoritarian” rulers are down south while actively cheering on an authoritarian wanna be ruler. They never cared about anything other than power and hurting minorities.



  • The usual formula might be vegan, but you’d have no way of knowing if this particular batch happens to not have any non-vegan ingredients in them

    [X] Doubt

    You’re basically saying it’s ok to lie about the ingredients if it’s financially cheaper than using the ingredients listed, which sounds like weapons grade horseshit.




  • Nah, even as a child that’s unacceptable. My kid is only 5 and I don’t let them hit people, and punish them when they do. The response from the parent shows the apple fell straight down

    Edit: if you think this is advocating violence against children, go touch grass or read a single book on parenting ffs. Natural/logical consequences make good punishments for misbehavior, and have gone a long way to helping my kid not act out (and are nonviolent, since that has to be spelled out)
