This is the Wachowski brothers who wrote and directed the original 1999 film, The Matrix. Unfortunately, they took the wrong pill and became the whatever the bottom image is.

Taxation is taken through threats of violence against the person who earned the money without that person's consent. It is theft, by definition.

@DefiantLs I was just telling a coworker that we should keep the Senate and replace the House with AI. It would eliminate 435 people from the payroll. Also, AI can draft bills without pork and review and correct newly introduced bills. We could streamline legislation.

Rep. Chip Roy: “Maybe we should get rid of all 435 members of the House and all 100 members of the Senate and start over because Congress is literally failing the American people.”

@willjarman @miles_commodore Everyone knows, or should know because it's been a custom for centuries, that it is immoral to go against someone's last will.

@FamiliarScars @miles_commodore Agreed, and so do I, but that’s not a “moral” argument

Taxing someone’s inheritance is morally wrong. The amount is irrelevant.

@willjarman @miles_commodore Most people want their money to go to their family rather than be wasted by bureaucrats.

@miles_commodore I don’t agree with it either but curious to hear the “moral” argument. You’re talking about money you didn’t earn that’s being given to you.

@JoeyZiemann @BasedMikeLee It was the same for me. Both parents were workaholics, though. But I had friends who understood that time is short and valued family time over education. Didn't hurt their progress one bit. To each their own.

@FamiliarScars @BasedMikeLee Idk I did homework every day after school and it helped me learn 🤷‍♂️

Schools have access to your kids during the best, most productive hours of the day Teachers are paid with the expectation that they will use that time well If they used that time well, would they require your kids—and often you—to do homework on top of that every single night?

Police do, in fact, prevent crime by locking up criminals before they can commit more crime.

@JoeyZiemann @BasedMikeLee When the kids come home, it's family time. They've already been drained mentally for 6 to 8 hours. Also, to achieve the highest retention, you need to allow the brain to rest.

@BasedMikeLee I thought homework was supposed to be practice for what you learn during the day because you need to hear/see something and then actually do it to really learn it? I usually like your takes, Mike, but I'm not sure about this one on education.

@crochet_mom314 My friend is working on his teaching cert now. I love the dude, but he barely got through his BA because he was lazy af. C student at best. I feel bad for the students who get stuck with him.

As someone who got a teacher's certification alongside my degree in chemistry, the majority of you are ABSOLUTELY smart enough to homeschool your kids. The education classes I took were by far my easiest courses in college.

@HippoStoned @LomaxFalconer @6days1week @TheBillyProcida As a shareholder who isn’t a billionaire, I want the companies I invest in to make as much profit year after year so my 401k grows, so I actually have something to look forward to in retirement, cause social security isn't gonna cut it.

@LomaxFalconer @6days1week @TheBillyProcida Not true there would be money made just not as much and it would be fine if you and many like you weren’t so fucking greedy, how you gonna make money when they whole system collapses because at this rate that’s coming and your assets are worthless

why can't multi-billion-dollar companies just make 20% less for a little while?

@drydenwtbrown Burn everything to the ground and start over. Eventually, that's going to be the only option, cause government will screw up UBI the same way they do everything else.

“UBI will be so bad for society” Ok what’s your alternative if AI takes the jobs?

@BIMBOSATTVA_ In my case, I live in a studio apartment. I can't hide my bed, but I do cover the lens when I'm home, though.

why do people have cameras like this inside their homes inside their bedrooms pointed at their beds, is this a sex thing?

@ImUrWeakness_ @___DNP @MJTruthUltra At least to the sidewalk, where they should have stayed.

@___DNP @MJTruthUltra You want it to be legal to shoot people... running away? How far do they have to run before you can shoot them anymore? I mean where is the line here.

Judge: “The defendant put himself in this situation” UnFuckingbelievable

@fiat_money @LibertarianLars We can still provide all of that without stealing from people. Use a consumption tax with no exceptions. The only people that are against that are the ones that want to continue stealing your money.

Reasonable Tax brackets $0-$50,000 : 0% $50,001-$100,000 : 0% $100,001-$200,000 : 0% $200,001-$500,000 : 0% $500,001-$1,000,000 : 0% $1,000,001-$5,000,000 : 0% $5,000,001-$10,000,000: 0% $10,000,000+ : 0%

@unlimited_ls If I'm ever on a jury for a case like this, there's nothing the prosecution is going to be able to say to change my not guilty vote. Either everyone agrees with me or it's going to be a hung jury.

🚨JUST IN: The Michigan man charged with manslaughter for fatally shooting one of the “teens” he caught breaking into his garage has been bound over for trial This is INSANE... his property had been broken into twice before this incident, and police IGNORED HIM AND TOLD HIM TO GET BETTER SECURITY Now Judge Kelly Kostin said Dayton Knapton, 24, put himself in the situation despite prior break-ins at his property She said his self-defense argument “becomes more difficult” after reviewing security video Knapton is charged with manslaughter, assault with intent to murder, and weapons offenses after a shooting that killed a 17-year-old and injured another Police say he saw several people entering his garage on camera, went outside, and opened fire as they were leaving The garage had been broken into at least twice before, and Knapton had been told after the second break-in to “beef up” his security

@elonmusk If it's not at least $10k per month with ZERO taxes, I'm not interested. Trusting government is a big risk.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@TMZ If I had publicly bashed another union member when I was a part of USW, I would have at least been reprimanded by the union president. @sagaftra fails to protect their brothers and sisters.

Bryan Cranston takes a shot at Shia LaBeouf in Frankie Muniz interview 👀 Video: tmz.me/4lrCLrV

@KillaKreww I thought people in unions were supposed to support each other?

Bryan Cranston threw SHADE at Shia LaBeouf when his Malcolm in the Middle co-star Frankie Muniz said he regrets passing on “Holes” to do “Agent Cody Banks” 😭🎬👀 “You could’ve ended up with Shia LaBeouf’s life… Shia get some help!” 💀

@cosmicjester I do like a good biopic. That said, I wish Hollywood would start making blockbusters again. The films they make now are too boring and artsy.

I wonder why cinemas are dying then I see another preview for ‘brands: the movie’ and maybe they deserve to die
