Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary - I am actually only counting from the date Elon Musk took the reins. What a change!

@winstonpeters The woke Kiwibank culture needs to change first. There is more virtue signalling going on there than actual sales taking place. Some merit base appointments will mean the business can grow organically. I worked there through two transformation processes and then gave up.

@SimeonBrownMP They have no idea how to grow the business they are going through one restructure after the other and are totally inwardly focused.

@elonmusk Shall we call it toxic feminism?

@elonmusk Very scarce and valuable...

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:

You buy a Pokémon card for $50.

Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.

The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."

Government: "Don't care. Pay up."

You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.

Next month? That card drops back to $50.

Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.

That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...

Now picture this.

Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.

But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.

So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.

Gone.

To pay a tax on money that was never real.

Now picture the opposite.

Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.

Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.

He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.

Does the government give him his money back?
No.

Does the government give him his truck back?
No.

Does the government care?
No.

They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.

You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.

You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.

It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.

They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.

There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

@historigins Way too woke for its time ....

[Carl Erasmus (Callie) @Soonie2017]

Even on X it is a toss-up between facts an opinion. Today I have seen 95% opinions and reposts of other people's opinions, and very little facts. It is boring seeing the same people pretending to be experts on everything. Almost like watching CNN. Time for the Block button to start working....

Adolf Hitler was a socialist.
These values always end poorly.
