What an embarrassing nightmare. A government without self control

that's what's missing from this conversation: an acknowledgement that even if we did not need a single tax dollar from the rich to fund public policy, taxing them into oblivion would still be the right thing to do in and of itself

having billions of dollars is basically like walking around with a nuclear bomb, politically speaking, and there's a reason we do not let individuals have nuclear bombs to set off entirely at their own whims

it's actually true that you cannot fund good government entirely by taxing the rich, which is why slopulist proposals to gut the tax base are a bad idea but taxing the rich at punitive levels is a goal in and of itself, billionaires are simply too dangerous to public policy to exist

This is why the Democrats' current obsession with tax cuts is so dangerous. They're paving the way for more extreme proposals like ending progressive taxation altogether. Again, we don't need "Republican lite." We need a party that affirms that paying for the things government does is good.

no vision of a collective better future for all. just "fuck you got mine" and FOMO and building a moat. can't tax the rich, we need to let billionaire pedophiles raid the treasury to pay off their fascist friends. if you don't like that we'll shoot you in the face and write approving news articles

Legitimately crying at how funny this is. I am EXTREMELY excited about the possibility that Shaq and Chuck are about to learn about I Think You Should Leave. I would pay $1,000 dollars to watch them watch "Coffin Flop" live.

it's such a bummer that i have to care even the smallest amount what jeff bezos or musk or any of these guys think (not just for my job but bc their midlife crisis hobbies seem to be buying and destroying institutions)

Sorry but I believe in society

They’re adding this in the 8.x alliance raids it’s gonna be a little duty button called hedgehog’s dilemma

Anyone talking about cutting taxes wants to defund society completely. Sorry

I would ask many questions such as what is the destination, what are the abort points, what is our DV margin, what is the ECLSS flight legacy, will there be a toilet, does the toilet have flight legacy, are there any deltas between this and flown toilets, what preflight tests has the toilet passed,

What corruption in this life, that it will let this man live!

I think a lot of our doomier politics are informed by having to sit idly by and watch a bunch of selfish shitheads reject the entire idea of society and loot the public coffers during and immediately after the COVID pandemic

We ended child poverty and had a huge public health initiative where the US army gave everybody lifesaving medicine and your boss wasn’t allowed to force you to come in for no reason, and then a bunch of child molesters decided that those things were making the great unwashed too uppity

Woah it’s crazy that Cenk Uygur is posting unhinged antisemitic screeds on the unhinged antisemitic screed website, thanks for sharing

it's insane that the Mandalorian started seven years ago and has three seasons. this is not how an episodic Space Western is supposed to work. there should be seven seasons and 100 plus episodes by now. would they all be good? hell no. but they don't have to be.

probably never going to wear this outside but so far it's killed on every work related Zoom 1:1

Kind of feel like we especially don’t need fancy law explainers at the moment. “Can the president just take money when he wants?” A third grader could answer this. A Yale law prof is likelier to write the wrong answer so their 2L can work for Alito

people who drive big heavy trucks on roads should pay more to build and repair those roads than people who drive light efficient vehicles.

asking people who drive 10mpg pickup trucks to pay more for their car juice is not actually regressive. don't like it? sell your shit and get something more efficient.

If you want Medicare for All (and I do!), you (yes, you!) are going to have to pay more taxes for it. That is simple math. No, you can't just tax billionaires. No, you aren't taxed enough already, and why are you adopting the slogan of reactionaries who want to dismantle social welfare programs?

Raising taxes to pay for expanded and improved government services is literally the opposite of austerity politics. Anti-tax leftism has got to be strangled in the crib before it destroys what scant hope we have of ever implementing a social democratic system in America.

To eat grogu flesh you have to bury it on a beach for a month like that Icelandic shark. He's full of ammonia.

This was because the political media in 2014 wanted Dems to lose the midterms. They laughed at the actual stakes of the election (Roe vs Wade hung in the balance) and derided any Dem who told voters the truth. Instead covered bullshit unfavorable to Dems as the top issue.

As it turned out the 2014 midterms would see Dems lose the Senate and then be unable to appoint Antonin Scalia's successor as a result. The Dems chosen frame for the election was "fight the GOPs war on women" and the political media mocked them for it instead of covering the stakes.

Something people don't really remember but is true is that one of the *top* political issues the media covered in the runup to the 2014 midterms was the idea that Barack Obama had badly mismanaged an Ebola outbreak because 10 total Americans had gotten it
