NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?”
“So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!”
“Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?”
“That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.”
“And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.”
“We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.”
“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.”
Exactly!
Feel brutal for Wild fans. That team was so good and you lose your best center and a stud top 4 d man against the best team in the league. Just a kick in the dick. Minnesota sports fans are pros at getting their hearts ripped out.
@SpokedZ Benn is an absolute clown - only contributions in this series is 2 dangerous crosschecks to the head of Boldy and Hartman.
Embarrassing behavior.
At some point @NHL Safety has to do something - but I think we all know they will sit on their hands.
@BizNasty2point0@spittinchiclets I don’t think you would be saying this with all of the Dallas cheap shots but I agree. Zucc back after being hitting in the head by Dallas by a cheap shot like many other of Dallas this series, Boldy has been amazing.
@spittinchiclets Clearly it’s an NHL rule but I disagree completely. Hockey players always poke at the goalies pads after the whistle. Plus it was a loose puck. it’s not like the goalie had possession. That’s where I disagree. If goalie had possession then yes but he did not. So clear goal!
He did it politely and diplomatically but King Charles just reminded Congress:
• NATO was there for USA after 9/11
• British Troops did fight in Afghanistan
• Ukraine needs our help now
• executive power must be subject to checks & balances
• ice-caps are melting
• America’s natural wonders need protecting
When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
Here’s the traditional annual pic.
•Thursday, not a weekend
•Mid-afternoon, not primetime
•High school, not pro
•Quarterfinal, not Championship
But the State of Hockey’s cathedral is full of fans for the greatest tournament in the land.
