"I had my hands zip-tied behind my back for so long and it was so tight I almost started vomitting, they slammed my head into a table several times and degraded me as I was strip searched. They had me in handcuffs for 19 hours to the point my skin had begun to swell around them.”
@alphafox Whats wild is no one asks, “where did the money come from? Why in the world would an 8th grader have flash cash?” What parent would ever think “mmm…I need a picture of my child holding a fist full of money?”
@jimmysoldout Jimmy, I rented in LA for 15 years and loved it. But as I got older, I learned the power of leverage. The equity in my home now gave me access to 200k in cash at a reasonable rate allowing me buy a property to be your landlord and let your rent pay my mortgage.
no shade but why would i literally ever buy a home… you still have to pay a mortgage monthly that would be the same cost as just paying rent atp. and at least with renting, the expenses for anything that goes wrong falls into the landlord instead of on you
If u can afford a $50 lobster, u should normalise being able to afford a decent tip; Complaining about a few extra dollars when u are already living a luxury lifestyle is a sign of stinginess and a lack of empathy for the working class. The waitress is taxed based on her 'sales', so your expensive meal literally costs her more in taxes if u don't tip accordingly
A woman on Instagram said: My husband and I go out to dinner and order lobster dishes at $50 each and the table next to us order burgers at $15 each. Why do we have to leave a bigger tip than the other table when we had the same waitress and got the same service?
Today we’re leaving Europe.
We visited Rome, Trastevere, Vatican City, Venice, Barcelona and Madrid.
Not a single MAGA hat.
Not a single Trump t shirt.
Not on any tourist,
Not in any shop.
Not a single cop or law enforcement officer wearing a mask,
Not a single law enforcement officer beating the shit out of anyone, for any reason.
Europeans make it perfectly clear.
They don’t like or approve of Trump.
I’m going to miss it here.
Netherlands just announced a new 120% wealth tax
It will apply to the ultra-rich who earn above €150k per year
So if you make €200k, you pay €60k on the €50k above the threshold
Dutch officials explained it is to "discourage wealth hoarding behaviour"
So beautifuly said
Finally someone in Europe has the moral spine to put an end this selfish accumulation of wealth
No human being should make over €150k a year
It is a vulgar and borderline pornographic amount
I hope more EU countries will adopt this progressive legislation
This is why Europe is, and always will be, light years ahead of America
@annamiwendel@Her_Nonymous_D The definition of professional is:”an individual engaged in a specific activity—often requiring specialized education, training, or skill—as a primary livelihood rather than a hobby”. Drug dealers and traffickers qualify under that definition too.
@JayinKyiv Only thing is, it’s pretty clear when you order imported goods online that duties and taxes will be paid by the importer. It pays to pay attention!!
@harlot_scara After the revolution succeeds every worker will have healthcare and own the means of production. Workers will be making more than they ever have while the once rich shareholders won’t profit off exploitation anymore. This is what we are fighting for.
Chamel Abdulkarim, who is accused of sparking a massive Ontario warehouse fire after his company didn’t “pay him enough to live”, pleaded not guilty today in court. Good luck finding a jury to convict this man when 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
My boy just bagged a corporate job and called me hyped.
"Ac, I'm set for life"
