Like a 7yo who has learned that people can be sued.

"I'll TARIFF YOU!"

One of the key overlooked benefits of UBI is that it also encourages people to retire, move out of the workforce or drop back to part time sooner. Freeing up jobs for people to move into.

Once the house is paid off and the kids have moved out, etc. The "I dont NEED to do this" is real.

Oh we knew about you all along... the giveaway was how often you fucked over my Plague Inc games. With your cold weather and tiny population... and facism.

I'm just saying... if being deported is on the table, fuck shit up and dip. I honestly believe that the best possible outcome for America is that shit gets so bad so fast that Trump cant keep up a damage control and spin campaign.

People are horrified at how bad things can get when his ideas blow up in his face, I'm worried about how bad things will get if they work.

I was getting my 3yo dressed and the hood on her hoodie was tucked inside the main body of the jumper I started singing "Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?!!?... I dont want you repeating any other lines of this song at daycare"

Unironically I think this is what drives a decent portion of transphobia.

Im a straight dude and I think stockings, high heels, short skirts and boobs are just awesome but I'm also secure enough in my shit to say "That dude makes a pretty hot chick". I also know that my wife doesnt dress like that because its a lot of work, she doesnt feel the need to. Its very much a "sometimes food" as cookie monster would say.

So when knuckle dragging guys who havent seen their wife out of sweatpants and flipflops in 3 months see a dude who put more effort into their appearance in 1 day and they want to fuck that... They get mad.

Im advocating for pushing the wealth from the top down. Make it financially non viable to own hundreds of houses, make it seriously sub optimal to own dozens over the long term.

A lot of new development is driven by investors, to build a new house you need to live somewhere while its built, and pay for the land and pay for the build in stages as it goes. That pretty much requires you to be able to cover two mortgages at once. Most investors I've met are buying off the plan when its a block of dirt or an unleveled paddock and consequently getting it CHEAP. They pay say $500k for a house that will sell for $800k when its finished because average working people cant cover the difference. But the house gets built and adds more supply to the system.

If you destroy property investing as a market, you will seriously hamstring new development and make the problem worse. You need to make owning thousands over the long term nonviable but make investing and adding to the supply be the money maker.

First 5 investment properties should carry a 1% property income tax that is directly funneled into a housing development program, then a 5% property income tax on the next 5, 10% on the next 10...

Realestate is the safest and highest yield investment working people can make to build generational wealth. Dont cut the throat of the guy who can afford a brand new Audi to spite the guy who has to decide between wether his driver fetches the Rolls or the Bentley.

People should be able to aspire to being rich, just not filthy rich.

Because the majority of those people just voted for the guy who endorsed mass deportations. The alternative is to hide, pray they dont find you and take all your shit anywaysand send you out of the country with the shirt on your back.

The vast majority of Americans either endorsed or sat by while they gave away the "freedom" they have been shouting at the whole world about for the past 100 years. Whatever happened to "Give us your poor, your tired, your hungry" or "Land of the free, home of the brave" does "Land of the indentured and scared of brown people and queers." not have the same ring to it?

And now, my news, my feeds, my socials are CONSTANTLY clogged with your shitshow and I hope Rome hurries up and fucking burns.
