@Callous_Joe@BarneyR37283761@famexbt I know. I just felt the need to be obtuse. Then @Callous_Joe called me out on spending too much. Also, Starbucks has awful coffee. At least they used too….haven’t been there in a while.
@Zachly I think that cyber truck was a design concept offered to the public. Politics aside, I wish more manufacturers did this instead of just making another front wheel drive sedan in distinguishable from the front wheel drive sedan they made 20 years ago.
@CarrieMayo62906@WallStreetApes I’m sorry that you don’t feel safe. I’m glad that you are taking steps to learn how to use firearms safely, and genuinely sorry for those of us who have to deal with this dystopian society thst the Democrats have delivered.
@doppelkupplungs@itrue98@cdenton71 Books!!! Eewwwwwwwww! Actually, I’ll take a look. Thanks for being rational and not a complete lunatic. Be well in Canada.
A social contract to what extent? A contract requires two parties. Pragmatically speaking, I paid taxes to a foundation whom I nothing about to do something I most likely don’t agree with. When I buy a gallon of gas. I pay a tax to maintain the roads. I pay for the gas with money thst I worked for thst was taxed. The corporation that paid me was also taxed…the customer thst paid them was taxed, When I register my car, yearly thst is a tax. Getting mundo renewed however many years…tax. When I purchase something…tax. When I die….tax. When I go out to…taxes upon hospitality taxes….and for what?! A public school system thst is so inept it can’t figure how to get school supplies into a class room where they receive $.51 of every dollar (income tax I believe). …oh I’m sorry you want a bag for your groceries…TAX. It’s not a social contranct it’s a mugging.
You are into it for 50 bucks. Let’s say after you buy the sander and supplies, that is another 175. Probably took you a few hours….work, pick up, delivery, coordination. That puts your hourly wage at a little less than 40/hour. Sounds to me like they got a discount on Prevailing Wage. I’d send them a bill for the materials and wage shortfall.
@horsefly5777@Sassafrass_84 Bravery requires action. The Democrats act, even if it is driving a school bus filled with Children straight into a volcano. The republicans died in the 90’s. All we have now is a slightly less demented and lethargic Democrat Light. (this post sponsored by Bud Light)
Taxes are a problem. It is money taken by threat of prosecution for causes that that they have no say in. The income tax system has failed partly by politicians promising people taxpayer money and partly by people who feel they are entitled to it. It should be abolished and the 17th Ammendent should be repealed. All taxes should be paid directly by the people who owe them, this includes all taxes that are typically taken out of an employee paycheck by the employer: Government is not a charity, this nonsense removes the responsibility of looking after your neighbor from the individual and moves to a group of paid bureaucrats. As far as Elon Musk, he is a private citizen who has more vision than anyone I have known in my lifetime.
