I yearn to live in the mines.
- Comment on Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate 2 weeks ago:
That part. Exactly. We pay for estimated value, they should.
1 trillion net worth (even if all made up) should pay the taxes on that full amount just like we do.
If I earn 100k dollars, half that goes to taxes. How come Peelon can earn 100billion and gets all the benefits thereof and doesn’t pay half in taxes?
In theory 50k from my taxes should be in the tax bank and 50 billion from his. Instead I payed 50k and he paid maybe 5k.

- Comment on Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate 2 weeks ago:
Would that be the $ cap of what you can contribute each year? I think it is like $5k per year now maybe? Something like that. I think it went up recently. 7k?
I’m curious as to how or why that would actually help though, because I think you can open multiple 401ks, right? So you could just open 10 of them.
But yes, any MATH that makes it so you can’t just exploit the hell out of the system by virtue of just having lots of money already.
The big issue is that there are tons of loopholes and exploitable things in all our systems (many are intentionally put in for the rich to use). Whatever laws or regulations or systems you don’t has to be fair and all that.
One glaring issue is that the billionaire class is so wealthy they aren’t even playing the same game as us anymore. They don’t pay taxes because they can stop “earning income” in the traditional sense and it’s all sorts of leveraged forecast market value stock and asset bullshit. I mean, “money” is made up too, but they are outside “money” and deal with “theoretical money” and thus escape all forms of taxes and fair share stuff.
I’ve always wondered if the answer is doing away with “income tax” entirely (it’s a racket anyway) and having a much higher “sales tax” on everything.
Let them have billions, but they pay the tax when they buy something like the rest of us do.
I dunno. I’m tired of overthinking it. Maybe the better option is to eat them.
- Comment on Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate 2 weeks ago:
That and I feel like it should also have some tie to each business. Like the top salary+benefits in your company can only be 10x the lowest or some ratio. 1,000,000,000 : 1 is WILD that we all just keep going along with that and it’s like, well yeah, the CEO works harder than you so he earns more.
He works a MILLION times harder than me? He works a BILLION times harder than me? Are you sure about that!? By what metrics?
- Comment on [politics] ya but, at least Juneteenth still lives! herp-a-derp! 3 weeks ago:
Guess the racists and MAGAs can become better after all. Cost is cheap, results are immediate.
- Comment on Do people really give a shit on what a US President wear? I just see from time to time that they bring up the Tan Suit Incident with Obama. What is or was the big deal? I slept since then. 4 weeks ago:
Exactly.
I’m so damn tired of seeing comments like “why do you keep complaining about Trump, but you didn’t complain so much about Biden?” As if that’s even a legitimate question.
Because that dumbass pedo is destroying our country, looting all the coffers, pissing our allies off, starting wars, increasing costs of living and just generally fucking everything up for ALL OF US!!! Biden was too old and didn’t do as much as I’d have liked, but goddammit don’t even pretend they are equally bad. They aren’t in the same ballpark, they aren’t even the same sport.
These MAGA morons sound like “why are you screaming because I stabbed you in the chest with a knife, but you didn’t complain when Joe gave you a paper cut?”
WTF!

Wrap all the way around that and down to the tree roots and back around and up to the top branches. To be sure.

I’m confused, how does one shoot guillotines at someone?
- Comment on holy moley 2 months ago:
“Comply” with 3 conflicting orders being screamed at you behind masks.
Get shot anyway.

Do you expect them to hand deliver mail and then also knock like a primitive with their hands?

Better than Shoot Loops.

A 300 million dollar mansion for one person. A 1.2 billion dollar prison complex for a few hundred people . Everyone else is homeless and lives under a bridge.

Watched friend fall to their death and it was extra funny because their sudden scream and then silence.
10/10 would play again.
- Comment on "Any update is a bonus not a right": Peak co-developer Landfall reminds impatient fans it's not a live-service studio 3 months ago:
Peak has been an incredibly fun game and WELL worth the price even if they never released any updates at all ever again.
But not only is the game fun and cheap to buy, but has a lot of replay potential and the devs release new updates and biomes and items and mechanics and even silly stuff like this April fools and the bbno$ concert thing. It’s been a blast playing off and on as the game evolves.
I can’t imagine how anyone could still complain after all that.
- Comment on Having to work during the apocalypse sucks 3 months ago:
Updating tickets and all the other bs red tape seems to be the ONLY part of office work that AI hasn’t infected yet and it’s the only part I wouldn’t mind letting AI do, because it doesn’t matter and no one reads it.
Let me write code and let AI write all the paperwork and approve the paperwork and go to meetings.

- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 4 months ago:
I’m not convinced he killed the first. The pictures they showed as evidence looked like completely different people, his backpack was lighter than his clothes in one, then darker than his clothes in another.
Then they “caught him” at a restaurant with a backpack full of all the most convenient evidence days later.
Weird. If I did that I sure wouldn’t be hanging out in restaurants DAYS later still toting around all the evidence just for the luls.

- Comment on Happy Monday, everyone! 8 months ago:
Same. 5 full years WFH and honestly work was enjoyable AND I got so much more actual work done.
But we gotta RTO now because uhhhh… Reasons!
I get nothing done anymore and I’m just frustrated all day and all my time is utterly wasted. No time to get work done, no time to get home chores done, constantly exhausted from the pace of running back and forth to meetings and driving all over the place wasting time and gasoline.
So glad I burned a gallon of gasoline into the air and wasted an hour to move my ass from a comfy chair at home on a teams call to a less comfy chair in a different building with a worse desk to join a teams call. Productivity!!!

- Comment on Why do people call it “woke”? 9 months ago:
Anyone using woke or Antifa or liberal or dei as an insult doesn’t care about the actual definition. They probably don’t even know the definitions at all. It’s all just hate and propaganda and racism and bigotry and tribalism.
Surprise, MAGA is what happens when pathological liars and narcissists and abusers and bullies and racist bigots get into politics. And they are non stop DARVO on everything.

- Comment on Unemployed workers outnumber available jobs for first time since 2021 10 months ago:
Nobody wants to pay a livable wage anymore. Lazy executives and CEOs wanting work for free. They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and find a way to pay people what they are worth and maybe stop buying so many avocado yachts and Starbucks summer homes with all that money they hold out on paying us with.
- Comment on Bring out the trumpets and pour out the beer 10 months ago:
Sounds to me like we all stop paying taxes as much as possible. Set withholding to lowest possible, don’t file in April. Dump the tea into the harbor. I do not feel represented by ANYTHING this corrupt admin has done, they don’t deserve our tax dollars.
- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 11 months ago:
It is a bit of a stretch maybe, BUT ALSO, try being a woman in a toxic male dominated workplace and I get it.
But the problem isn’t actually the layout, it’s the environment and culture of that place.
