@CurtisinCle You dodged my original question and continue to attack me personally. You've also demonstrated your inability to comprehend taxes and basic arithmetic.
$1b to every person on earth equates to $8 quintillion (73,000x the world's annual GDP). You're not worth my time. Take care.
@CurtisinCle All you do is deflect and pivot to attacking my character every single time you engage with me. Classic signs of someone that's lost an argument.
Elon paid $11b in taxes in 2021. We're taxed on wages. He's taxed on capital gains. It was one of the largest tax bills in history.
@CurtisinCle@GavinNewsom No it isn't. Wealth itself isn't a morality category. How someone acquires it and what systems allow it is where the moral debate lives.
You're arguing based upon emotion, not logic. Did he attain his wealth by cheating the system or playing by the rules?
@CurtisinCle Ignorance isnβt moral clarity. If someone chooses not to understand nuance, they donβt have the tools to confidently judge intent or motive. Certainty requires comprehension.
Let's play some Crusader Kings 3 together π.
@SenSchumer You're a disgrace to the American people you lying sack of crap. Anyone that did any research knows your party authored the ACA, the subsides and are straight up LYING to the American people. Have some accountability Chucky and resign.
I hope I'm wrong.
But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn't even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear, without knowing the how and the what, that the world was about to change forever.
Like the rules of the game had been permanently altered and there was simply no going to back to the innocent, peaceful past.
I didn't feel like this when an attempt was made on President Trump's life. If I had to rationalise why I didn't, I guess it's because several US Presidents have been shot at and even assassinated. Somehow it was within the realms of the possible, no matter how awful.
But to murder a young father simply for doing debates and mobilising young people to vote for a party that represents half of America? This is something else.
Charlie's death is a tragedy for his wife, his children and his family. I don't pray often. I am praying for them tonight.
But I fear his murder will be a tragedy for all of us in ways we will only understand as time unfolds.
I hope I'm wrong.
