How are low and middle income households harmed in this scenario?
Once again, less revenues for the government, less resources to be shared among low and middle houseolds, even less public spending available for services mainly used by low and middle income houseolds. Proportionally those who save more money are the ones who have more money to be taxed. A 50$ difference in tax payments for a low income houseold does not hit like saving 1.000$ or 10.000$ for higher incomes if you also loose those services and benefits you received while you were paying those extra 50$ tax.
If the cfpa was serious about its job they would not have spent more in renovations than all the rest of federal government, or pass on any of the fines it imposed against lenders to the people they harmed. They are helping themselves not consumers.
We’ll see how you’ll like price gauging, cartels and lowe safety and quality standards on the goods produced in the USA without any agency enforcing the law against these practices. I mean, if you like lead in your cereals because metals are good for you, enjoy. We’ll see how you like corporations whose only goal is the returns for their shareholders and not consumers’ satisfaction.
There’s no ROI on usaid money so getting rid of it won’t hurt the US. ie giving you $1000 won’t make you conservative. To do that I’d need to teach you work ethic, accountability, self reliance, maybe a trade, and a whole bunch of self confidence, then maybe you would be more focused on things you can do to improve your life instead of what others should do for you.
The fact that those investments do not produce any goods does not mean that there is no ROI. It’s called “influence” and has a huge impact on your trades and relationships with the rest of the world, like it has in your personal life where personally knowing someone and having a good relation with that person can affect how they treat you in a business scenario. But once more you struggle to understand this concept, maybe it’s not me who’s the one having no human interactions in his life between the two of us?

As always for a conservative every accusation is a confession. Keep shooting your shit onto the wall, anytime something will stick to it

It’s a flat cut accross the board so this doesn’t apply. Everyone’s tax rate is lowered the same amount. Remember this tax isn’t a progressive tax cut, you still remember what a progressive tax cut is.
Even if this would be a flat cut across the board who do you think would benefit more from this cut, proportionally? A family with 100K income taxed at a flat rate of 35% or a family with 100,000K taxed at the same rate? Who would save more money from a tax cut in this scenario?
You do understand why tax rates should be progressive, right?
That’s a simpletons understanding of how funding works. If nothing is cut then the deficit increases, this is common.
You have seen that this administration is currently cutting agencies related to consumers protection and state management, right? Are you living in the same reality as all of us or are you living the MAGA dream?
If foreign aid is cut how does that harm the taxpayer? If defense spending is cut how does that harm the taxpayer?
My point is taxes go to so much more than infrastructure and social programs that the US spends taxpayer money on. There are a lot of things than can be cut and not harm low income families.
Once more you don’t understand the concept of soft power. If you think that cutting spending abroad will benefit the USA while China and Russia keep on spending on developing countries to entrench their politics in these parts of the world you are even stupider than what you sound like
Hopefully now you’ll see why your simple statement is just ignorant of what is really going on.
I really don’t have any hope you can uderstand what you are talking about

Can you point out a single application of any Ai program and show its return on the investment made to develop such program in the first place? Because, as far as I know, these programs take a lot of computing power (which is not freely available in nature) and maintenance to operate properly. And these, beside the development process, are crude costs which need to be paid and accounted for.
Your level of understanding about this field shows, even in your parallel conversation in this thread. Amazing how much misunderstanding a person with a slight higher intelligence than that of an houseplant can accrue. Truly remarkable stuff
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
If you apply such cut only above a certain threshold income everyone under that threshold will not reap te benefit of that cut while at the same time will be affected by alack of investments in public spending and services which will derive from a lower income in the state revenue caused by said tax cut.
Is this clear or should I draw you a picture? Maybe I can build you a dioirama using play-doh. Thinking about it, better not: I wouldn’t want you to put that paste up your nose trying to fill that so unconfortable void sitting inside your thick skull
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
Not much but I do enjoy shitting on ignoramus like yourself so thank you for that at least
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
Holy shit dude, you’re more clueless than a deaf and blind 2 years old.
The trump administration has just decided that Putin gets to keep what he has stolen from Ukraine and has also decided that maintaining an American presence on the European soil is no longer a necessity for its army. If you can’t see the parallels with the policy of appeasement toward a dictator that the UK and France tried to use before the start of the second world war I really don’t think you should be fit for casting your vote in the election of a janitorial staff member, let alone any political election.
And this without considering the tariff wars the Cheeto in chief has decided to start with America’s closest allies.
This man is singlehandedly destroying years of foreign relationships beside his own country and you’re wondering why I as well as many other non American posters are angry.
Please go get yourself checked by someone really good in neuropathies and learning conditions, you might be brain damaged
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
I already shown you that you don’t even know the policies of an administration you support and that is going to screw the middle and low classes in favour of a tiny percentage of the wealthiest elite; at this point there’s nothing left for me than throwing shit at you to remind you what we see when we speak with people like you.
You are shit, your political beliefs are shit, your ideas are shit and you’ll count never more than shit in your life and for everyone around you.
I think it’s high time someone would tell you all of that
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
Your false courtesy doesn’t help in hiding the lack of understanding you show with each of your comments. Something I’ve learned during the years is not to consider the form of a comment but to look for its substance to provide an evaluation of said comment; and when I look at your comments substance I only see shit and mangled logic.
Get shit on once more, at this point you could very well be the stunt double of mr. hankey from south park

Lmao, cleaning up by installing even more corrupted and demented people in their places. You must love bathing in shit dude, it’s fairly embarrassing at this point
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
“think” it’s a verb should never be used with people like this. They are unable to create a thought, their heads are emptier than a vacuum chamber connected to a diffusion pump, they can reach levels only molecular pumps can perform at. 10-8 mbar of pure, unadulterated ignorance and hubris. They should be all lined up, shot and used as manure, this would be the only way they could be useful for society
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
Fuck yeah I’m angry. You and your poisonous ilk have helped a demagogue and and egotistical oligarch to reach power in one of the strongest state ms in the world. You deserve only spit and shit thrown onto your persons both in the digital and analogical worlds. I’ll never stop shitting on people like you; the time for “courteous discussions” has come to an end, go make a self omicide whenever you can and free the world from your useless and damaging presence
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
I just want you to know you got shat on, the clouds don’t need to be involved in such low disputes.
Keep getting shit on dude, you seem to like it. You got a coprophagy kink by any chance?

No, I want to shit in fake fascists masking as centrists because they don’t have the balls to admit they are fascists like you.
Get shit on!
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
I meant progressive in a sarcastic way, implying these cuts won’t impact the middle and lower classes but only the wealthy one.
An extension towards fiscal responsibility!!! And beyond!!! /sAA (do you need the /s to understand I’m still being sarcastic with these final lines??)
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
Developing relationships through common cultural references. You can mainlu use culture as a media to expand your influence in places where you already have a hold of the situation… In other places where you still have have to build your influence, and maybe an infrastructure, you invest in building roads and airports. Which is what China is doing with the "Road and Belt initiative ". If you think freezing foreign aid programs will Help America sustain it’s image around the world you don’t understand how foreign policy works. Exactly like Donald Trump and his cronies.
Amazing how you can’t have a thought deeper than the shallowest of puddles, have you ever thought about being observed by medical professionals?
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
Sorry, you’re right, it was a 4,5 trillions cut.
Fiscal responsibility!!
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
It’s called soft power. Basically an investment in presenting the best part of your culture to others hoping that it will attract people to your ideals and idea of society to ease collaboration with othe peoples.
But you do understand the reasoning behind an investment with your superior intellect, I’m sure.
And I’m also sure that you do understand that where an investment is missing others will provide that investment. Promoting their culture in lieu of others.
I’m putting /s explicitly because I’m not sure you’d get my sarcasm, I don’t think you could understand these subtle reasonings
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
Oh yeah, the party of fiscal responsability who is now trying to pass a progressive 4,5 billions tax cut for the wealthiest part of society. Who knows when these missing funds for the government will show up in its administrative books???
You must be so wise in the way of the finances, please (not) teach us master
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
“the left” has no default response to any costs saving.
“Noooooooo” as a reply comes only when a destruction of the modern state is acted masking it as “cost saving”.
It’s like a doctor prescribing suicide to solve a patient illness. It works, the illness is gone, but the patient is not feeling well afterwards.
But this is too much of a complex reasoning for a libertarian to understand, I get that. Oh well, back to you play-doh eating contest you go
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
He tells these concepts so much better and bring such clear examples to the table that you’re still unable to present your points in clear and readable manner.
Please tell me how the economy works and how the “invisible hand of the free market” can improve the quality of goods and services for people in a market where the most important goal if any company is to extract the maximum profit from its customers.
Let’s remember that even Harvard business review has finally accepted that the concept of the invisible hand is laughable (read here for reference), we just needed 3 major financial crashes (IT at the end of the 90s, housing market at the end of the 2000s and the economic crash of 2019) to experience this first hand.
Please, remind me where the money which were used to save big businesses and big banks came from? Do I hear you say “the state”? Oh well, we would be better off without it at this point, right?
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
Wrong facts but facts nevertheless.
Please tell me how the absence of laws and agencies mandated to overview the adherence to said laws by big industrial realities could improve the quality of live for common citizens who are already power-deprived in front of big corporations thanks to the lack in founding of state agencies in return for the campaign contributions all parties rack in from their wealthy donors with each election cycle
Pro-difficulty: use your words instead of linking to a badly argued YouTube video
Protip: you can’t
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
Yeah buddy, sure. I’m certain without rules and laws all companies would act in the best interests of the consumers, not selling dangerous or poisonous goods at all!! And they would never think about creating cartels to fix the prices of their products. This could never happen!!
God, you’re thick as a brick but less useful. Basically a rock with the capacity to write dumb things on the internet
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
Oh yes, cut spending by eliminating agencies needed by the people to have a decent life in a developed society and present the resulting savings as a victory.
It’s like a company manager firing most of its employees and selling it’s machines presenting the administrative books at the next shareholders meeting. Much profits, wow! And then the year after the company goes bankrupt and foreclose, who can say why this has happened??? Must have been the invisible hand free market!!! Fs fs, on god
- Comment on Most of Lemmy right now 1 week ago:
Maybe, and I say maybe, before starting to dismantle core-agencies needed for the maintenance and management of a state, one should look into the meddling between private and public interests. Like, how muvh of our money is being used to sustain dead-end projects such as Ai development or fossil fuel? Do we want to also look into the military spending and the paths grants provided to this end follow?
If Argentina has taught us anything is that leaving citizens without services makes the lives of those same citizens even worse. The results of no hospital, schools, or state management agencies will be shown in some years, can’t wait to see libertarians trying to spin that situation in a positive way
- Comment on George Carlin - I Gave Up On My Species - George's GENUINE, eloquent perspective 1 year ago:
If I may spend my two cents in this discussion I’d like to also propose Mr. Hicks as one of the true thinkers and philosopher of the last century. He had a lot in common with George from a social analysis standpoint and he also saw us humans as bi-faced entities capable of producing both the nastiest and the most beautiful acts while recognising that usually the lowest and most destructive instincts were the one guiding our choices.
As George did for you he also helped me forming my vision of the world and its current state of affairs while also making me laugh manically.
A huge thanks to both these men for helping some of us finding a way to navigate through this sensless journey, you’ll not be forgotten
- Comment on How Cyberpunk 2077 clawed its way back from disaster to complete one of the greatest redemption arcs in gaming history 1 year ago:
To me for example was always fine. I got it on launch day and with my PC I experienced very minor issues and almost no crash (maybe one if I remember correctly) and, even if it wasn’t the game CD Project Red marketing department had led us to believe, it was a nice and enjoyable experience for me.
I mount an i9-9900k with an Asus motherboard and a 3070 dual fan, I don’t recall the precise model right now; not a fancy build as I use a very old case and air cooling, but it gets the job done for a 1440 experience at circa 45 FPS.
Now I’m curious to test this 2.0 patch, I’m watching my brother playing on his PC right now and, with a 1070, he’s still getting good performances and the game mechanics look nice! The skill trees are really interesting, I can’t wait to try it out myself!
- Comment on Professor explains why Russia is rooting for Trump | Russian Media Monitor 1 year ago:
Well, one of the two parties available is bent over in respecting corporate interests while eroding societal safety nets, the other is doing the same but with an accent on religious authoritarianism in service of an orange Cheeto.
There would be more than enough space for them to cooperate on common ground but, unfortunately for the oligarchs, the latter party seems to have lost the script of the standard political play and is now giving it’s leading roles to real nutsacks who are (unwillingly) exposing the inner workings of the political machine for everyone to see. As I see the situation from Italy this can only be a good thing as seeing the innards of a broken machine is the first step to start its necessary maintenance
