@fadule_ All variants of diet/low calorie soda are not only absolutely fucking disgusting but also actually worse for your health than regular soda

Life is amazing:
-gyms exist
-Coke Zero exists
-hot girls outnumber even moderately put-together dudes 2000 to 1
-you and your wife can drink 4 bottles of wine then smash all night without a condom
-you and your friends can hit the gym then smoke a joint and watch The Godfather
-every food item in the world has been hunted and gathered for you (grocery stores)
-you could be working 16 hour days in a coal mine in a third world country
-you’re spinning on a sphere in an infinite universe and the fact you’re alive is a 1 in 500 trillion miracle - every day you wake up you win the freaking lottery :)

@jesseljs @TheMaineWonk I thought that was the whole Iran nuclear deal? So like an agreement is going to work again?
English
@TheMaineWonk The 21 billion is their frozen assets it’s already their money
To get the 20 billion they would have to agree to not produce nuclear weapons
Which was no biggie to Obama

@PunishedNM @nise_yoshimi this makes no sense. alabama is one of the blackest states in the union. if his motivation were racism, he'd move to a canadian border state or west virginia

@georgeregnery @MorePerfectUS How does Minnesota wilderness have anything to do with affordability

@MorePerfectUS Will blocking this help Affordability. Do you care about affordability. Or “this is different” which just happens to be everywhere.

BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters.
The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.
The way Republicans passed this bill that prevents future administrations from issuing protections for Superior National Forest, so this pristine land will be exploited in perpetuity unless Congress intervenes to reverse this decision.
The state of Minnesota can still block the Chilean mining corporation from operating in Superior National Forest and protect the Boundary Waters from pollution.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
The Senate is about to vote on handing a national forest over to a foreign corporation. A Chilean mining company wants to develop a copper mine upstream from the Boundary Waters, a pristine wilderness. The GOP has to choose between a foreign corporation and their constituents.

@SamQualls12 @DrewSav Yes, but it destroys future political aspirations e.g. presidential.

This perfectly sums up why her approval has sunk. Republicans have for months been ranting about make believe stuff with no substantive pushback.

@DrewSav It’s a one term office who cares what they’re saying lmfao

@Automatic_Slop @LegereTacite @charliebilello How much do you think it costs to live from 65-85 with no job?
English
A 25-year old married couple earning $150k will pay over $3k more in federal income tax for 2025 than a 65-year old married couple with the same income (note: assumes no social security - 65-year old couple is waiting to age 70 to get max benefit).
This is a fair tax policy?
Charlie Bilello@charliebilello
American households age 65–74 have over 10x the net worth of those under 35. The "Big, Beautiful Bill" gave a $6,000 bonus standard deduction - exclusively for taxpayers 65 and older. Is that really where the help is most needed?

@AlexaShrugged @SruliFruchter @NewsPolitics It’s not a war crime to defend your state, you’re being obtuse.

@SruliFruchter @NewsPolitics People in the comments all like, “he was only discussing tactics as a neutral observer” - b*tch, he’s a US vet calling war crimes “damn fine looking”

@common_man_ntsm @revenant_MMXX Is this not the cause for lower middle income too?

Mitt Romney got cooked for telling the truth about this, turns out that when you have a tax scheme like this it becomes illegal to criticize it or try to change it because the bottom 50% will have a mental breakdown
Geiger Capital@Geiger_Capital
Happy Tax Day! It’s good to remember that the Top 1% of earners pay 46% of all federal income taxes. The bottom 50% of America pays for just 2%.

@Danielsrotaryo1 @JustAFamilyMan_ Income per person doesn’t mean anything when it’s just higher insurance paid hahah

@WillBenjamin83 @LegereTacite @charliebilello So typical boomer has 400k in equity that should only be increasing. Don’t see how any boomers who are under this net worth are going to be taxed. As seen in the original post we compared two couples making 150k. A person with 150k income should have much more than 400k in equity
English
@Automatic_Slop @LegereTacite @charliebilello The high end skews the mean, so median is more representative of a typical Boomer.

@CinemaYarn @TheVotersSay @Acyn Oh boy this is so good buddy sounds like these luxury apartments are about to be converted into a more efficient allocation for the economy

@TheVotersSay @Acyn If they sell, the next person inherits the tax. The chances are they won’t, cos it’s a fucking fortune. And if you can afford the building, you can afford the tax.

@WillBenjamin83 @LegereTacite @charliebilello What data study do you have to support this claim I’ve only seen the contrary?
English
You're just looking at averages. The top earners have huge amounts of money in the bank or retirement accounts but many are living on social security alone.
Of course you'll say "That's their fault." so you can play both angles.
Some used the government to enrich themselves. Some more ate from the government trough and are doing very well. But the vast majority are not what you say.
English
@WillBenjamin83 @Voxstrigidae @charliebilello So you think China is doing very well then I assume? Maybe we need a different form of government which promotes saving?
English
@Voxstrigidae @charliebilello We need more savings, not more spending. Capital builds civilization, not spending.
