@elonmusk @boringcompany A functional hyperloop still does not exist; so add that to the cost.
How is this “Hyperloop tunnel” going to differ from a regular tunnel?

Super impressive shot.

Challenge!

Perfect shot.

@JamesOKeefeIII There always has and always will be infighting.
But we do need to stop with the attacking the person and actually address whatever issue is at hand.

It’s rare to find such a good story. Truly wonderful people! 👏👏

Best explanation of being taxed! 👏👏🍻

[Alan Smith @AlanJLSmith]

Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.

The fifth would pay £1.

The sixth would pay £3.

The seventh would pay £7.

The eighth would pay £12.

The ninth would pay £18.

And the tenth man (the richest) would pay £59.　

So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every week and seemed quite happy with the arrangement until, one day, the owner caused them a little problem.

“Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your weekly beer by £20.”

Drinks for the ten men would now cost just £80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes.

So the first four men were unaffected.

They would still drink for free but what about the other six men?

The paying customers? How could they divide the £20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?

They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33, but if they subtracted that from everybody’s share then not only would the first four men still be drinking for free but the fifth and sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.　

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fairer to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage.

They decided to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

And so, the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (a 100% saving).

The sixth man now paid £2 instead of £3 (a 33% saving).

The seventh man now paid £5 instead of £7 (a 28% saving).

The eighth man now paid £9 instead of £12 (a 25% saving).

The ninth man now paid £14 instead of £18 (a 22% saving).

And the tenth man now paid £49 instead of £59 (a 16% saving).　

Each of the last six was better off than before with the first four continuing to drink for free.　

But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. “I only got £1 out of the £20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, “but he got £10!“　

“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a £1 too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”　

“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get £10 back, when I only got £2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”　

“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.　

The next week the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him.

But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important – they didn’t have enough money between all of them to pay for even half of the bill!　

And that’s how it works.

Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy and they just might not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.　

For those who understand, no explanation is needed.

For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

@dnvr_is_burning He’s not interested into looking into things or “exposing” them.
Take a look at my interaction with this “journalist”. 🤷‍♂️

This is just sad. These poor old people would do anything to get out and do something. They shouldn’t be used as pawns/political props.

I’d like to hear an explanation on why there are 2 holes on the ballot… seems like an easy way to cheat. 🧐🤷‍♂️

[Steve Hilton @SteveHiltonx]

Millions of Californians have been sent ballots that show if they vote No on Prop 50. This is COMPLETELY unacceptable. A secret ballot is vital for democracy.

Gavin Newsom's rushed, unconstitutional Prop 50 election must be SUSPENDED until all ballot irregularities are fixed.

[James Collins @crinklybrain]

He didn’t even say a race/religion. Simply put, he didn’t want his taxes going to immigrants who abuse the system/people. Seems like a fair point to me.

[James Collins @crinklybrain]

@stoolpresidente Where in this statement does it say they made these decisions based on the best interest of business?

It doesn’t.

@dnvr_is_burning Shouldn’t the registration be good for as long as the owner owns it? The only reason it expires is so the state can collect more money… and is the state doing a good job with that money? 🤷‍♂️

@denverpost Caviar is anything but mainstream. I’d bet most people have never even had a chance to taste it.

Ten years ago (around 2015), caviar prices were generally higher than they are today (WP).🤷‍♂️

@KDVR “It’s unclear how many USFS and U.S. Park Service employees have been fired. One group of nearly 500 outdoor-industry organizations said in a letter to Congress…approximately 5,700 people have lost their jobs.”

Which group?

@lordbuckly In summary they want control, they have the money, and are being stingy.

How is this helping their cause?

@IHearTheShofar @LangmanVince @gina_durosko He has given money to help small businesses during COVID, been an advocate for dog adoptions, and has given money to the family of fallen police officers, just to name a few charitable acts.

What other millionaires can you say have done as much to help the common folk?
