The money the government is stealing from me is at least partially funding the goyslop bux. Truthfully I would like to see the government stop stealing my money at all but taxation has somehow wormed it's way into the American psyche as being the mark of a civilized society.
If you got rid of taxation then you'll have to contend with increased inflationary pressure. The government doesn't stop spending money just because you shut the tax spigot off. The role taxes serve isn't to fund the government at all actually as the government can fund itself with or without taxing you. The role of taxation is to control inflation.
 
@3-2-1836 Boogie got an Agg deadly weapon charge. I wonder if he would've if he hadn't fired. I've known cases where just showing a gun and yelling at someone is enough for agg. It really depends on what the cops/DA think of something, lots of leeway.
Boogie lives in Arkansas, not Texas.

Every state is completely independent when it comes to criminal law, that's why for example it's a giga felony for me to merely possess a pistol in California but completely halal to open carry it in every state that borders California
 
I fucking hate the 'Did not immediately respond to a request for comment' bullshit in news articles in the last 5 years or so. It's spread like a virus despite it adding fucking nothing to the discussion and the people in question probably put up the article within an hour of sending the email, or more likely mere minutes. It's baiting off the 'did not respond to a request for comment' thing that shows the subject in question is dodging the media but this instead shows absolutely nothing about the character of those involved BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GIVE THEM TIME TO NOT RESPOND. Waste of text, waste of my time, and a waste of electricity. Shit like this should be banned by law as disingenuous reporting. 🎩
 
I don't even understand how people spend more than 20 minutes outside in Florida. Do these people not need to hydrate? I don't see a single water bottle.
The Floridaman is a strange, yet mighty creature: in their savagery they have a primal, animalistic vitality unknown to the more civilized peoples. Despite their exterior resemblance, under the skin the Floridaman is very much unlike a human akin to you or me. Beware these genetic throwbacks!

It's kinda nice out today. Breezes and highs in the mid eighties, ngl this is probably one of the better Saturdays to stand on a corner
 
But when does it snow?
more than you'd think or The Man will admit

Hold on to your butts, buttholders.
The Resistance is out in full effect on Central Florida
Scared yet chuds?
also as a followup this is at a Storage Joint, that's a building or two OVER from a Tesla shop
no clue what dark magicks are keeping them from walking two hundred feet to the building they're supposed to be mad about, but they're instead hanging out closer to a Frito plant so they'll stink even worse from the fried shit smell

This bears repeating. If Trump was truly this dictatorial figure, those people would be arrested and sent to gulags or reeducation centers. That small, but important fact flies over their heads.
 
Are you saying that recipients should be able to use SNAP at restaurants, if so this is one of the more retarded suggestions for fixing SNAP.

there is nothing gained in requiring people to put their own frozen tendies in the oven rather than just buying them at the drivethrough

When I am paying for your groceries you will buy what I think is appropriate.

if you are actually a net taxpayer, which ok I'll believe it if you say you are, then you have a fulltime job at least. That means you will not be the one making the determination of what groceries can and cannot be bought. That will be a government employee, paid for by your tax dollars (that honestly I don't actually believe you pay more than you get back.... then again I guess sleazy car salesmen make money)



The main problem with this is that the job isn't paying enough. (edit: compared to asset prices i.e. homes, stocks) I feel like it's better to have the government make sure businesses can support workers with liveable wages.

how exactly do you plan on doing this? and are you sure it's cheaper and more efficient than the system we have now? I'm open to being convinced.


As opposed to a government redistribution program, which creates bad incentives and is full of abuse without any kind of market force stemming that issue.

but in return consider that it might be the least bad system possible. it is like cash, so protects market incentives (unlike WIC which is nearly a pure agribusiness subsidy and massively distorts industry) and it has resulted in the complete disappearance of childhood malnutrition even in junkie households.


I do think redistribution systems are necessary for the people who slip through the cracks. But we should make sure that the jobs (and the pay) are there first.

please tell me your plans for this. In the 20th century multiple European countries tried it. You can still see the results in the populace - why do you think the Irish act so retarded?
