Men will reduce women to sex objects to make themselves feel more important but it never works.

Dante is still a little man.

The photo is not real. He had to make it to make himself feel bigger than Melanie Joly.

así las cosas, ahora las elecciones en América Latina se deciden por un software privado y el reconocimiento de Narco Rubio 😐

@packrat2000 @alleria_eh How much discussion, and how many amendments have been proposed for these bills? They’re all being passed through parliament very quickly, and Canadians aren’t able to voice opinions about the bills before they are passed into law. I would call that jamming through these bills

Hi, I work in real estate development. This is insane.

Yes, most projects are struggling. No, taxpayers should not be used to backstop private developers who misjudged the market.

If government wants more housing, build housing. Build it at cost.

That would be bad for my industry, but good public policy isn’t supposed to protect our profits, it’s supposed to serve Canadians.

@nyaraVT This is the kind of voice that women learn to speak with in various Christian religions/cults, especially the Mormons, but not exclusively Mormons.

@suchnerve Hearing that you had a good day is already making me smile, and now I’m becoming hopeful that my day will go well! 😊

@socialistadri @hasanthehun And ‘maybe’ is doing a hell of a lot of heavy lifting. One of the most load-bearing maybes ever

[Andrew @AndrewHunt94]

@socialistadri @hasanthehun Literally this. You’re not gonna become successful in a system that’s rigged against peasants, when you’re born as a peasant. And in this case, peasant is a placeholder for everyone who isn’t born into an upper-class family, and maybe upper-middle class as well

There are a lot of billionaires on this app who are obviously quite adept at making money, yet pretend they don't understand finance when it comes to the topic of a wealth tax.

It's impossible! It's too complicated! We'd love to do it but it's unworkable!

This is silly. Our financial industry has figured out how to turn the most abstract concepts into concrete financial products that can be traded in markets. We can obviously do this.

Let's say we have an annual 1% wealth tax. It could easily work like this:

Your shares in SpaceX or whatever are locked up and illiquid? Fine, just pay with 1% of those shares. No need to sell. You can easily create a financial product that is tied to those shares. Billionaires say they are afraid that they will have to pay a wealth tax assets and then their asset prices will go down, and they'll have paid a tax on wealth they no longer have. Fair enough! Just pay the tax with the shares themselves. If the price goes down, the government eats it, and you're no worse off.

What about an asset like a Picasso? Easy. You create a derivative product that is worth 1% of your Picasso when it is eventually sold. Before it's sold, the government can sell that product into a market and exchange it for cash, or hold it. What the govt would obviously do is create Billionaire Asset Backed Securities and sell them as financial products just like we do with mortgage-backed securities or any other asset-backed securities. Derivatives are not new.

The current problem we have is that billionaires own way too many assets in terms of homes and everything else. Because those assets themselves produce new income, they have to then buy more assets with that new income, which increases their price and endlessly crowds out the ability of normal people to own anything ever. That's why they tell you you will own nothing and be happy. They're certain of the former, don't care about the latter.

If regular people are ever going to get back into owning homes or other assets, billionaires cannot continue hording them all.

Quite obviously, a wealth tax is quite workable. The problem is billionaires just don't like it.

@IDF Say that one more time, and really slowly.

So, who broke the ceasefire? NOT Hezbollah. YOU. YOU broke the ceasefire by operating IN LEBANON

[Andrew @AndrewHunt94]

@ElNecio_Cuba I think some American News outlets also put out pieces congratulating the Espriella… It’s maddening

[Andrew @AndrewHunt94]

@caitoz That really sucks! Have you considered changing the locks, calling in the feds, or as a last resort… have you considered finding a nearby nuke to dissuade this man’s continued nastiness?

[Andrew @AndrewHunt94]

@NathanJRobinson Just remember, that if you don’t give me the peace that I want, I’ll blow you into pieces…

Trump is clearly very diplomatic. Biggest brain, best words, Art Of The Deal and all that

[Andrew @AndrewHunt94]

@Londoner256 @AJEnglish The same is true when the opposite happens as well… US attempted an insurrection on Jan 6 2021, Brazil tried an insurrection shortly after that, and South Korea’s President attempted to stay in power as well. They were outgoing right-wing governments and leaders…

[Andrew @AndrewHunt94]

@Joshn4d @4ltedits That would be devastating if FOX viewers actually learned what Hasan’s vile politics entails! Taxing the RICH?! Healthcare FOR EVERYONE???? I think I’m going to faint… Catch me while I clutch my pearls!

[Andrew @AndrewHunt94]

@missmommymolly @emkenobi True. And then those same men who cry about women not being sexualized enough, then demean women who do sex work.

It would seem as though there’s a system which teaches or guides men to the conclusion that, women are there to cater to their needs, especially sexually: Patriarchy

[Andrew @AndrewHunt94]

@socialistadri @aspergery @FoxNews The way Carney’s been avoiding talking about his awful policies with the public… Take me with you 😭

[Andrew @AndrewHunt94]

@SilentSnow89 Their name checks out 😅

@suchnerve Which is why I include my dog in the photo with my face. People do like seeing the pupper!
