In Oz, there's an entire underground city coated in radium.
Because everyone in Oz is immortal, it's just a pretty silver coating for buildings & clothes.

Most big companies are the result of a breakdown of capitalism. The government subsidizes Walmart's low wages. They give Disney the right to own ideas. They give Amazon buckets of money. Etc.
But the majority of American companies are small to midsized. Most owners are involved in their company day to day.

Anyone who commits wage theft should go to prison. It's no different than mugging someone in an alley.

It is the business owners job to make sure the employees get paid.

TBF, making more humans is even more fun than riding in the back of a pick up truck.

My high school had a 1/4 mile hallway. Every 45 minutes, thousands of people had to use it.
Always an absolute scrum.

It's 2. A straw or pipe is a cylindrical box open at the top and bottom.

All the smart people you know have opted out of the rat race, and you're wondering why they're failing? Perhaps you're looking at things the wrong way 'round.

It started as a table-top war game and the lore needs to serve the game.
Im not being a reductive a-hole. That's the real reason it's so insane. The lore is a toy ad.

Nope. As someone descended from poor boomers, you'd see those desks in a single-wide trailer too.

The US doesn’t have any refineries that process the type of oil the US produces. We sell our oil and buy oil from elsewhere.

You can’t cast ugly characters on tv. You can only cast pretty people and have other characters pretend they’re ugly.

I was addressing Kyzyl’s original comment, which implied we eliminate the current threshold for inheritance taxes.
I agree that people inheriting $50 million should be (and are) heavily taxed. On the other hand, inheriting a $300,000 house should be tax free.

Some Libertarian ideas have worked out quite well. Decriminalizing marijuana in the US worked great. Decriminalizing basically everything in Portugal is working out even better.

Right, so it would be a radical move to tax those as normal income.
I would support taxing estates, but it’s not as simple as liquid income. Perhaps make the tax into a long loan, so people can pay it without selling the house, or whatever.

Most inheritance is hard goods, not money. On a practical level, how would I pay a 37% tax on the family farm?

Tax write offs just means the money you gave away doesn’t get taxed. It’s not a way to hide money. It just means the government pretends you never had that money in the first place.

So he enabled people to move from chattel slavery to debt slavery and eventually to dirt poor free men? At least it’s a step in the right direction.

JD Vance had zero charisma. Without the orange man, the cult will implode and we’ll be back to normal levels of terrible.

I apologize, Millennial is not my first language. Something I try to explain to other people my age, as well as people your age, is that while we may use the same word, meanings have radically shifted. That can result in people talking past each other. For example, in old person English, “woman” means human with a vagina.

“Cis women” also doesn’t encompass the group of people who grew up with anti-female discrimination. Trans men face the same discrimination growing up that cis women do.

Honest question: I think trans women & women from birth face different challenges and it’s okay to recognize that. I don’t think either should be discriminated against. Does that make me a terf or no?

I came down to the comments specifically to post this video. I really want to see an Imigurite make this wand.

Joe Biden is an establishment politician with a splash of racism. I don’t particularly support his policies, but that’s not fascism.

Joe Biden is not a fascist. Kamala Harris is not a fascist. Chuck Schumer is not a fascist. Sometimes people you dislike are not fascists.

If they don’t sacrifice 1000 souls a day to power the golden throne, a warp portal will open on earth, likely dooming the entire planet. That’s not evil, just unfortunate.
