@lerndhelpfulnes @cremieuxrecueil It's a national news story they definitely will now.

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@lerndhelpfulnes @cremieuxrecueil Lol I don't think you know the backstory sweetheart.

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@still_hustling @PatrickinNOLA You, and others, need to finally understand that a debate is a literal game, and that most debates within politics are useless when it comes to having a substantive discussion about policy.

@RHOPROSE @acnewsitics The whataboutism is strong with you.

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@MattFinkes This is a *WILDY* bad & moronic take unless you don't know the background. Using an abusive mother who allowed her to be sexually abused as a 9 year, *against* her is something only someone who has lost all grip on reality is ok with. You must not know someone with a hx of abuse.

@thomashalvers13 @troublefortroy @USATODAY It was not

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@troublefortroy @USATODAY Do people not understand that it's explicitly against the rules to yell hut or anything meant to mimic the cadence of the snap?

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@DoneForTheBrand @USATODAY I hate ND as much as the next guy but it's definitely a penalty.

@onlyforcontest @TheBaseHunter @throwpickz There are definitely too many people that carry a balance, but "the vast majority" is objectively false. The majority of people pay off their full balance every month.

@LoveTheseMets @solAnarchist If you use it in the exact same way you would use your debit card, those fears go away. The money just leaves your bank account a little after it would a debit. Getting easy $1k a year, 10% off hotels, travel insurance, airport lounge access, is a no brainer for me, with no risk

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@solAnarchist Honest question, what is the argument against credit cards for people who have the will power to not overspend if given a credit line? The only argument is if you can't control yourself with a line of credit. Which, admiringly, many cannot.

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@forefathers92 @SteveOnSpeed It's not semantics at all, it's just simply not a sales tax on a purchase you made. You can certainly argue a land value tax makes more sense, and I agree that tying it to current market value maybe doesn't make sense. But whether it's paid off is completely irrelevant.

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@dutchdecrypto How do you get in on it?

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@SteveOnSpeed @forefathers92 Agreed but there needs to be some way to fund services, and I'm not sure there's a better way than property taxes. Land value makes more sense to me though, but I'm no economist.

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@forefathers92 @SteveOnSpeed I never said anything about whether you truely own it or not. Your argument was that a tax on something you already own is wild, and I said it's not a tax on something you own. It's a continual charge for a community you chose to become a member of.

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@RealMrBean99 Because a progressive tax is necessary if you want a more equal burden across SES.

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@the_flynch Property tax is a charge for community services, which are continually provided. It's not a sales tax. The analogy doesn't make any sense.

[Michael Stevens @MichaelSte4tcs]

@lesabrefomo I've never met any that aren't mostly interested in liquidity and flipping, but obviously that's just my experience. I guess it could be a complementary collecting, but I feel like it the hobby moves away from physical cards in general it'll eventually die out.
