Hell no

Rich is more like top 0.1%

You tax the money they borrow against their stock holdings as income, and allow them to deduct money used to pay back those loans. You could also tax a percentage of their wealth, which they can pay by selling some stock.

100%, although I think I might rather see her take down Schumer for his senate seat and then become majority leader…

Mathematically speaking, each of them is half as bad as one Trump voter

I think that it is less about the ad revenue and more about decreasing the total proportion of streams that they have to pay royalties for. Spotify pays people to churn out AI music that they own, and they place that music on their popular playlists (to increase plus from actual listeners) and also have bot armies streaming it endlessly. Since royalties are not a fixed per-play fee, but rather a calculation based on the total amount of subscriber money divided by the total number of plays, massively increasing the total play count with music that does not require royalty payments means they pay out a lower proportion of what they take in each month.

The plural of anecdote is not data

Sand People is their preferred name - Tusken Raiders is the slur

Why would god use dumbasses as the standard unit of philosophy?

We all do. If we all banded together, we could probably actually make it happen…

Thx!

200?

My biggest objection would be that he’d become a martyr, and MAGA would gain adherents. I’d much rather he have a very public massive coronary, preferably as soon as possible. That, I would celebrate with no guilt whatsoever.

I was actually thinking it reminded me of the infinity gauntlet

I thought that part of the reason she was running for senate was that her district had been gerrymandered out of existence - if so, she will only be in the house until January.

At what point does it become socially acceptable to say to these people, “Fuck your god”?

Except that the only way you get everyone a baseline income of $75k is by taking it from the billionaires, thus reducing the gap much more substantially

I imagine it’s the part where he grabbed her by the arm and attempted to drag her towards his car that did it. Whatever his intentions may have been, I can see how that could be taken as an attempted abduction. Idk that that should be counted as a sex crime, but I can certainly see it being treated as a potentially serious assault on a minor.

Anyone else think that looks suspiciously like Christian Bale?

The part about it’s favorite band being a tie between the Gin Blossoms and Bush is 🧑‍🍳💋
