well_actually,

just a person who hates generalizations and sensationalism. let's get grounded in facts and see where they take us

Words to live by. People who deal in absolutes are generally wrong, biased, and uninformed. Communication, complexity, nuance, civil debate. All keys to broader understanding and wisdom. https://t.co/Jr9b3yTDMv

@avidseries Hopefully Rogers and Hammerstein sues for copyright. Some states already make it illegal to use an AI likeness for political ads without clear disclosure. But we need to broaden rights of publicity on the federal level to address these AI videos.

@Cleverlydey4u @grok why is rashford wearing a shower cap

[well_actually, @wellactuallyaf]

The shame is warranted absent information beyond the generic "vetting concerns." He's not a typical tourist--we knew he was coming, and we issued a visa. Refs don't know their schedule ahead of time. Appointments for the knock out rounds are determined by performance in group stage games and match-ups to avoid conflicts.

Part of hosting the world cup is making temporary accomodations in the name of international cooperation. It's a shameful move done for politics, not security.

Birthright citizenship is terrible policy in the modern world.

14A clearly establishes birthright citizenship.

Immigration is an economic necessity in a nation with declining birth rates and fertility.

The US should have secure borders and broader legal immigration. It should be a high quality recruitment program, with target skills and educational achievement.

@JohnTGrod @adamtaggart @MishGEA "Don't entertain fools"

Invokes Hamilton and Madison in a discussion about 14A

🤦‍♂️

@ruth86073 @TimRunsHisMouth @XavierBecerra Nah the votes in India are all tabulated on the same day. The votes themselves are phased, so you have basically a month+ of voting. And most of the tabulation is just addition of an electronic tally. Only 2% of votes go to a paper audit. Completely different system

@CaliRN619 @AnnSpar35412076 @luluHru @SenateGOP It's nothing new. They've been holding pro forma sessions since the Obama admin. There hasn't been a recess in all that time.

Yes. But the issue with the uber-wealthy re income tax is that most of their wealth increases come from asset appreciation, not income. They could sell those assets, but that triggers cap gains. Many access liquidity instead by using those assets as collateral for loans, thereby sidestepping a taxable event. This could close that loop.

[well_actually, @wellactuallyaf]

@JeffBoChicago @ijbailey They need to get liquidity from somewhere, so that should be what policy addresses instead of these insane unrealized gain ideas. Selling cap assets gets hit w cap gains. Leveraging cap assets would get hit with this. Addresses the lack of taxable income by going after liquidity

[well_actually, @wellactuallyaf]

The asset based lending has to be the answer. Don't need to demarcate what obscenely rich is. Just add a specific tax to these liquidity loans on the lender. The lender will bake it into the interest rate the borrower pays. Not perfect, but addresses the lack of reportable income the asset wealthy have.

@luvgod These cope rants have too many line breaks

@JamesHartline You people are so lazy. Just eat this slop up without even reading the screenshots. Telarico was a regional director. One of four in texas alone. His role was operational, not strategic/control. Not even high enough to be on any disclosure form.

@DataRepublican @SKDoubleDub33 You used to be so normal. Why did you become a Trump sycophant?

[well_actually, @wellactuallyaf]

@WormyJester8 @lordthx1139 @sj_kirkpatrick That's hotly debated (as much as anything in theological circles is hotly debated). Christians obviously want that to be true as an indication of the holy trinity in the OT (spoiler). But the Jews not so much. I tend to think it's more of the papal or royal "we"

[well_actually, @wellactuallyaf]

@Brogtog @NDILnews Yeah definitely for Trump and not for victims of childhood abuse. That's why it was passed the Assembly almost unanimously, including 44/47 GOP. Trump was not even a consideration.

[well_actually, @wellactuallyaf]

The Classical Hebrew uses the first person plural, so closest translation would be "our" image. Uses masculine pronouns referring to god throughout the Old testament, but that was the default pronoun for anything not explicitly female.

Image is not a literal image, like a statue or idol. It's an earthly representative. Same term was used for king in mesoptamia and egypt, closest modern translation being close to viceroy.
