-Tim cannot help, but pine over Donald Trump not making more "Star Wars" references after his assassination attempt:
-Tim starts off opposing legislatively banning pornography, by arguing that because you need "cultural reformation", as "you cannot legislate this stuff away". The beanie boy makes the strangest argument to bolster this, by stating if you reach the point "where you're writing things down to make sure people don't do it, you have an immoral society. & there's massive failing, there". By this standard, every society that ever was, or is, in existence is immoral:
-Tim tries to have a
Mad as Hell moment, where he spends approximately 18 minutes complaining about West Virginia tax law, & their 2021 changes to how contractors work. Tim claims he is being harassed by the state, over this, because this change to how contractors are defined means "you must register as a business, first, or be an employee". Tim says he became aware of this, due to having "talent contracts", not employees. According to Tim, they cannot have contracted talent, because hosting a show involves travelling to the studio, which makes it an employment requirement, so you cannot contract them for this:
Tim states that the law, also, implies the need for term-limited contracts, which require exclusively working for the one being contracted with. The beanie boy argues that this is part of the "you will live in the pod, you will eat the bugs" world. Tim pivots to talking about the failings of Assembly Bill 5, in California, to show the issues with this type of law. Tim contends that requiring him to check if a contractor is licensed to work, in the state, adds unnecessary liability to his side of negotiations, as well:
Tim claims it would cost "$300" to register with the state "to do work", as an independent contractor. Also, Tim says he would not use his clout, to "accept special treatment". He feels betrayed by the state's politicians, because they wanted him to "proselytise the great state of West Virginia", but did nothing to change these laws. Tax laws, also, come up. Even "a folding chair" must be itemised, alongside all business materials. The reason this "flew under the radar" was because it is in a smaller state & not impacted journalists, as Assembly Bill 5 did:
-Tim drops hints that Tennessee may be the next destination, as it was close & "prominent conservatives" are moving there:
-Tim delivers another stem-winder, this time claiming that he sees the comments on how he failed to open a coffee shop, "in two years", when it should have taken "six weeks". Tim blames West Virginia regulations. The beanie boy recounts how he waited six months for a building permit, when he thought it would take a few weeks to get. This led him to sell the building. Funnily enough, Tim says an unnamed person that he invited to build in West Virginia caught these issues, before even starting to plan a move. Which says a lot about Tim's ability to vet his employees & plans. Tim regales us with how he tried to hire someone, as an employee, but the paperwork took so long that he tried to get them as a contractor. The state turned around to rebuke him doing this, while still not having the paperwork done. Add to this, the beanie boy claims that he could not even haver skate trick contests, as people doing these, even outside the state, & sending in video, counts as "delivering a product to be displayed by a West Virginia business, & they're operating in the state":
-Tim mentions the benefits of a move to Pennsylvania, to help turn it more Republican. However, he refuses "to go to a state, & tell them to live my way", & he does not ask for favours, so he shall not be lobbying for changes, in West Virginia. Tim claims he is responsible for moving his operations to West Virgina, despite stating in an "X" post that he presumed "
our legal and accounting teams would be apprised to such retardation" when choosing where to plant the Branch Timidian compound:
-A super-chatter says Tim should not be opposed to throwing his weight around to affect positive change. Tim "hates that" online personalities can get special access, due to their platform, unlike the average person. Tim argues that despite making several angry posts about leaving the state, he only expected "ten re-tweets", he did not think it would get "a thousand". Which is strange, because he just explained how having a vast social media following makes your voice heard, as if he were unaware of that, in the moment:
