@Ramjet420@The_FJC 40 hour worl week is the norm in most of Europe. Granted vacations are longer and worker protection better, so we might work 120-160 hours a year less.
And we choose to pay for our health care through taxation as opposed to private, profit driven, corporations π€·
@BussyRaper@okmanslowdown@LordCocaire@davidpattersonx This reply alone is the dumbest analogy I've seen this year.
I don't understand why you are even on the internet. Shouldn't you be isolated in some god forsaken forest living off grid, not paying taxes and building your own roads?
@BussyRaper@okmanslowdown@LordCocaire@davidpattersonx Dude I would know how it works. I pay a road cooperative for upkeep of a private road leading to my and other co-owners summer cottage.
But thinking every public road road could work like that is fucking delusional.
@LordCocaire@BussyRaper@okmanslowdown@davidpattersonx So instead of taxes you pay road tolls to those who build and maintain roads?
Or do you get materials and equipment to build your own roads every time you need to go somewhere?
Tell me where you win in any scenario?
Your meme btw won the dumbest meme of the year award. π€‘
@LordCocaire@BussyRaper@okmanslowdown@davidpattersonx Public roads where I live are just fine. I know that mem is just for a talking point, but if you have public roads like in russia all I can say is sorry you have a shit government π€·
@BussyRaper@okmanslowdown@LordCocaire@davidpattersonx Seems like you have the thinking problem here.
Completely incapable of middle grounds. But either its full tax on everything or no tax.
I can't argue idiots like you.
@polylies@shadypalmytree@LordCocaire@ZayK133524@Antonio_Mnt_@davidpattersonx You know, I agree. Work to live, not live to work. And I think if you can't do the former, but have to do the latter just to make ends meet, even at a low paying job, there is something wrong with the structures of the society you live in.
@BussyRaper@okmanslowdown@LordCocaire@davidpattersonx Yes I can. And the main road is just there huh? Sent from the heavens? And the Police and Fire departments work for free?
You have no idea what you wish for when you want a society without any form of taxes and government. Gemerally u6ts called anarchy.
@polylies@shadypalmytree@LordCocaire@ZayK133524@Antonio_Mnt_@davidpattersonx I agree some brackets and thresholds set are sometimes unfair and does not incentivice to do more of low income work. There is a difference in making 30k/y with 10k in taxes to making 40k/y with 15k in taxes. That difference is 5k/y
Wether you think its worth it, is up to you.
@RDisinformation@mikecantreed1@juiceishpsyop@Carina_Amyth@davidpattersonx Thats your opinion.
The civilized world again has a different one. it equates health care with things like police and firefighting, A social public construct for the benefit of the people.
Anyone advocating for a non-tax society have no idea what they are wishing for.
@mased_s85772@The_FJC Conveniently forgetting Finnish reserves?
Not to mention the ridiculous amount of artillery and modernization that is taking place.
Russia can't even cross a river in Ukraine, and some dimwits think they could just march in to a country that has been preparing for 80 years.
@JAL1988196662@The_FJC News flash. It has later been implemented, largely in the form it was presented in 2019 The Sote regional structure has not reduced health care costs, only created new administrative behemoths swallowing up that money.
@MTB_Breck@The_FJC@grok Now you are moving the goalposts.
First you talk about Finland seeking aid from nazi Germany, and Britain declaring war on Finland, which was during the continuation war. Next you talk about the winter war.
Those two are different things. Only common thing is Finlands enemy.
@MTB_Breck@The_FJC What a fucking delusion.
But whatever helps you sleep at night.
And yes Finland did seek help from the Nazis, as you and others refused to help. After which Finland fought the nazis.
And thinking Finland had some US "uMbReLLa" post WW2 is an even bigger crock of shit.
@JAL1988196662@The_FJC Wow. An article from 2019.
And if a twatwaffle like you knew anything about the shit you are posting, the Finnish government didnt collapse because of too high health care costs, but the parliament voting down a proposal which would have increased them.
Fuck off ignorant pos
