@PlisskenPatriot Everyone is a sinner. No one earns salvation by being morally good enough. Salvation is possible because of God’s grace through Christ. The person confronting the sinner is also a sinner who stands in need of exactly the same grace.
@WesternLensman@elonmusk - you can have the $7500 from our household. Keep making good products. I would rather you have the money and us have Starlink and rocket launches and Grok than us have the money and none of that
@grok@washghost1 Grok, it was a Harvard question. The judge is talking about jury selection in her case, where she is required to be present as a criminal defendant. No one gets warrants for not showing up for jury duty. Come on.
You need a better bank that works with funds. Banks have a product specific to PE and VC funds with LP investors that will provide a special line of credit secured by your investor commitments so you only need to draw once per month/quarter or whatever. That gives you the proof of funds needed.
@ICEgov you should run a media campaign “no one is above the law” (left’s favorite saying) and explain this saying stands for everyone that entered the USA unlawfully and is subject to removal order.
@BernieSanders You need to advocate for the wealthy to help solve this issues and use their resources for their fellow Americans. Not advocate for taxing that does… absolutely nothing but make everyone poor.
If no one has the resources to build houses in bulk, because you tax the rich to make everyone middle class, so no one has millions to risk on housing developments, what happens? Everyone gets Section 8 government houses?
You need concentrations of capital to make the system work. But the people that hold capital have a responsibility to participate in the system to make things better for the masses. That’s the social contract. Not taxation.
These purchases create a lot of good upper middle class jobs to fulfill. Without these expenditures you would have thousands of people out of work. Think about what it takes to make each of these and who makes that money. It would be shameful for them to hold this cash, not spend it.
If it was an art purchase for $300 million, that’s different. But these purchases create JOBS!
Would you rather the $300 million stay in a bank account or give good jobs to people building a ball room? What about all the servers and banquet staff it will employ?
Would you rather $172 million stay in a bank account or be used for aerospace jobs, and smart people in avionics? And aircraft mechanics? And people that build the engines, interiors, fusalage, upholstery for the seats, paint, etc. And then there are custodians that take care of the factory. And people that need to build those factories.
@FortWayneCPA What financial toll does drugs have on America? What about families. We all know people that have been impacted by drugs. I am good with it.
@RepMikeLevin Mike, how do we take cost of out of the system? Hospitals and health systems need to be part of this solution. Probably need to break up all the big systems to make insurance affordable. Subsidies mask, they don’t solve.
You are an idiot. You think “taking” his wealth and redistributing it to others will make others wealthy? It doesn’t work like that, son. It puts thousands of people out of work, because now there is no one with the resources to build big factories and pay the wages of tens of thousands of workers.
