I still have one question about Homelander.
Throughout the whole series, they never really showed him as some lustful womanizer or horny character. There’s barely any scene where he acts pervert or obsessed with women in that way.
So why did he assault Becca specifically? It doesn't make any sense
This is so deliberately misleading. Earlier in the thread you claim that lower income earners pay more than Bezos estimates because of payroll taxes, but then when doing this analysis you completely disregard the $6.2 billion in payroll taxes Amazon paid last year.
Your personal case is a good illustration of the problem with the US tax system.
Based on public data it is possible to estimate your total effective tax rate: the total amount of tax you pay personally plus indirectly through Amazon, relative to your income.
Your total effective tax rate was just 15% in 2018.
Meanwhile, the average person in the US pays around 30% of their income in taxes.

Congress won’t point out the real issue. A single mother working a low level job trying to make ends meet. What are the two most expensive things she pays for?
1. Housing
2. TAXES
She pays almost $6,000 in taxes/year
She’s $570 short in her monthly budget
You do the math.
💼 Jamie Dimon gets put on the spot in this 2019 footage when Congresswoman Katie Porter does the actual math live on a full-time JPMorgan Chase bank teller making $16.50 an hour in Irvine, California…
The teller is a single mom with a 6-year-old. After rent, utilities, car, gas, food, phone, and childcare, she’s still $567 short every single month — with nothing left for clothes, school lunches, medical, or emergencies.
Katie Porter puts the numbers right in front of Jamie Dimon on a whiteboard and asks him how this woman is supposed to survive. He just keeps saying “I don’t know… I’d have to think about it.”
Meanwhile, Jamie Dimon made $31.5 million that same year.
Do you think any of this is better today? 🤔
I certainly don't.
While we’re in the spirit of fairness I think Tarik Skubal should throw a 45mph fastball every once in a while so I have a fair shot at playing for the Yankees.
Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you.
If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment.
Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.
@PFF_Moo Ah yes because actually Mahomes also won the division and made the AFC Championship if you take his DVOA, add EPA, and divide it by the number of miles his father drove drunk in 2025.
Football was so much more fun when we still bullied dorks like the ones that work at PFF.
The idea that hard assets shouldn’t be worth more than what they were 70 years ago is idiotic. An asset that doesn’t appreciate at a higher rate than inflation might as well be a liability. But big brain jackasses like this guy think it’s some sort of crime to invest in anything.
The year is 2045. 57 year old Colin Kaepernick wants to play in the NFL this season. Kaepernick continues to train and has “never felt better” in the 28 seasons since he last played for an NFL team.
🚨TRENDING: Free agent veteran quarterback Colin Kaepernick says that he wants to play in the #NFL this season.
Kaepernick continues to train on a daily basis & believes he should be the starting QB in the league.
Colin is 37 years old and has not played in a game in 8 seasons.
Step 1: cap credit card interest at 10%
Step 2: banks stop providing credit cards to low income individuals
Step 3: govt makes credit card discrimination on the basis of income illegal
Step 4: banks swamped with garbage credits
Step 5: govt bails out banks
Genius!
🚨 Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is working with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to cap credit card interest rates at 10%.
This is a good thing.
