I think it’s important that my views are public-ish as I’m kind of all over the place:
1. We should spend less on defense
2. We should spend more on helping humans
3. Violence should be a last resort
4. You should care about other people
5. YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE
This is a bad take only because it doesn’t take into account many vulnerable people. Of course you want to pay less in taxes, getting money taken away feels bad, but someone living off $25k a year will be priced out of food or rent or heat with tariffs since they are regressive.
As a business owner who has to deal with shipping all around the world, the tariffs don’t actually bother me too much.
Especially if the follow up with this is removing income taxes.
I think our current tax system really hides the true value of how much we pay for things with our time.
If you look at the amount of dollars that you make versus the amount of time, it takes to make the dollars, everything that we currently buy in our economy has a higher true cost of 30 to 40% more than what the sticker price is when you compare it to the time it takes to make the money pre-tax.
That’s just my Monday morning coffee thought. Definitely want to hear your guys’s thoughts on this concept.
@AyyPebo Your lender shouldve explained it to you, and you shouldn’t have been approved for the loan if it was so close to stressing your finances. In NJ you have to have a phone call to explain all of this then you have to do an automated system to verify you got the call
@AyyPebo You can’t really expect to not pay taxes and insurance right? Also escrow and your income going up by a similar amount puts more money in your pocket. I don’t think your math is right, unless your escrow is more than your interest and principal.
Bc a baby’s gut biome is not developed enough to handle the spores that may come in contact w/ the honey when made.
As always it’s about risk mgmt, upsides of honey: sweet treat. Downside: death
Upside of vaccine: prevent or lessen illness
Downside: low risk of side effect
How come nobody questions why Honey is considered 'dangerous for babies a year and under but the 23 or so vaccines by age 1 is "safe and effective?"
Think.
If you want less abortions, support easy access to care that is proven to limit them: birth control, affordable childcare, family leave, child tax credits, prenatal care, etc.
Don’t just ban abortions. They’ll either risk the health of the mother or seek abortion unsafely
Real talk. Am i getting screwed on taxes? I pay 50% of everything I make to the Gov. Is Kamala saying teachers, nurses and firefighters pay more than 50%? I've asked my accountants for this super wealthy tax break and they cant seem to find it.
My highlight from sectionals was getting backpacked, calling a foul, having it be contested, then ask him if he acknowledged there was contact on my back and head, and when he said yes saying then it is an uncontested foul and tapping it in.
@clarasmatic_42 the easiest comparisons are soccer and basketball. Soccer is generally slower than ulti, so the highs are much higher like scoring the only goal in 90 min. Basketball is much faster, so there are many more opportunities for big plays. Ulti is kinda in a reverse Goldilocks zone
