@Jamie_ORourke @saylordocs Oh damn. Sorry dude, the tax laws in the UK are much different than the US. In the US if you're outside a certain mile radius and can prove you have no choice but to commute you may be able to write off the miles driving at a set price. Same with meals, usually business related.

@SlingForAmerica @saylordocs Not in the UK for regular work. If you have a side hustle / self employed you can though.

HOT TAKE: If businesses only have to pay taxes on profit, not revenue, then I should only have to pay taxes after I’ve paid all my bills and rent.

The entire situation should have been avoided and talked out. If you're armed you have a responsibility to attempt to deescalate the situation. The shootee didn't really give the shooter time to plan anything differently. I didn't see the shooter's face but he appeared to be quite startled by the attack. Startled people will react, sometimes violently. As for putting the guy in a headlock, a violent person attacked you, who's to say he doesn't have a knife or other weapon. Are you willing to bet your life on it? Finally, I was a bouncer in my youth. We had an evening where a man came looking for his girlfriend who happened to be with another gentleman. He started something. I tackled him and put him in a headlock. He started pulling his pistol and one of my guys pounced on him and took his weapon. He also had brass knuckles and an 8" knife. My point is you don't know what you're getting into when you have to go physical. The best practice is to try to avoid these types of situations. Sometimes it's just not possible. When that occurs bad things tend to happen. I'm sad this guy got shot; and for such a crappy reason at that. But you can't assault people, period.

@SlingForAmerica @German07091 @7why__ydm Americans are fucking mental 😂😂 imagine justifying this. It was the most pathetic punch in the world, just get the guy in a headlock and pin him to the ground like a fucking normal person.

How can you take a life that easy without even thinking about it 😭😭😭

It's not my eyes you have to convince. Manslaughter is the inadvertent killing of another. You killed him but you didn't mean to. This man was killed during an act of self defense, that's different and in most US States he's justified in his actions. Calling me a psychopath isn't helping anything. I'm telling you how the law will see this in the US. You don't have to like it. In the end if you don't want to take the chance of getting shot, don't attack other people.

@SlingForAmerica @German07091 @7why__ydm Als dit geen doodslag is dan begrijp ik simpelweg niet wat doodslag wel in jou ogen is. Je argument was: hij kwam op zijn eigendom en de focus vervalt dan. Sorry Richard maar ben je een psychopaat ofzo? Jullie Amerikanen doen iets voordat ze denken. Wees realistisch Richard.

@Jamie_ORourke @saylordocs It could possibly be deductible. If you can prove you HAVE to spend that money for your job you can deduct it.

@SlingForAmerica @saylordocs The only reason I drive, park and buy lunch is so I can work. That should be deductible

OK, who's going to provide a place for these deadbeats to live? And you're not living off someone's work as a landlord, you're selling the use of your property to a tenant for a monthly fee. I'm tired of these Communists, it didn't work in the Soviet Union and it only works in China because US companies fund their government.

Thoughts?

@ChrisCl23903611 @bencollins1919 @BowesChay Agreed, you can see by the latest budget ask that our military is learning. They asked for $250m last time for drones and drone defense. $55b this time.

@SlingForAmerica @bencollins1919 @BowesChay I thinks what’s more concerning - apart from our awful foreign policy - is that many of our weapons systems are proving to be high priced and underperforming. The institutional rot seemingly runs deep.

Five European armies -French, Belgian, Italian, Greek, and Spanish practice crossing rivers in France. Men clumped together, no anti drone canopies, grilles, or nets anywhere. These men, and their armour would be literally wiped out in minutes on the modern Battlefield

They're creating reefs. I've built a small one under my doc in the canal on which I live. Started out as a few cinder blocks, I'll expand it in a few weeks with another 50-60 blocks. That provides real-estate for filter feeders who clean the water and habitat for smaller fish. Marco Island FL did this in their canals and it greatly improved their local water quality and habitat for marine life. There are plastic artificial reefs for docs but they're costly and it's still plastic in the water. $125 in cinder blocks provides a clean safe reef.

Why Do This.

@BarbaraM16926 I'd go for that if you could get it passed. I do believe everyone needs skin in the game.

Instead of flat tax, over the poverty level, how about everyone pay the tax. Thats the only fair thing. Or consumption tax only. If you buy something, you pay a tax. People who have more, pay more. But it’s 100% by choice.

@ChrisCl23903611 @bencollins1919 @BowesChay On average US soldiers are better trained than any other fighting force currently on the planet. Every force has it's rejects, the US has less and they're usually not allowed in positions of command.

@bencollins1919 @SlingForAmerica @BowesChay Two things can be true at the same time. The US has an excellent elite core while the bulk is probably unmotivated and combat unreliable. Basically a jobs program. The Europeans probably have a much smaller component core. If they go to conscription, those troops will he subpar.

@ShanSev56201 @saylordocs You'll never pass that which is why I included the provision. They won't do it because taxation isn't about funding government projects, it's about control.

@SlingForAmerica @saylordocs Screw that, even people in poverty should have to pay something.....It's only "Fair"

@_vinteoito Lumbriga is a great fighter no doubt, but that's not just a bodybuilder. That's Brock Lesnar who is a D1 champion wrestler and former MMA heavyweight champ.

Como explicar pra alguém que não é fã de MMA que o cara da esquerda venceria com extrema tranquilidade o cara da direita (Bodybuilder) em uma luta?

@March111992 @TONYxTWO You are 100% correct!

@TONYxTWO 1.2 per person. This is why no one invades us. That, and rednecks! Let’s go!

Countries with the most civilian-held firearms per capita Wait until you see where the U.S. lands 🇺🇸🔥

@jechrocks29019 @TONYxTWO I think it's privately owned.

@TONYxTWO Not clear if the number includes guns within the formal military and privately owned, or just privately owned, divided by population. Still 🔥 x.com/i/status/20485…

@TheCatAtonic @TONYxTWO Zactly!

@TONYxTWO 'Merica!

@Rich2Hall @JHawkJewel @TONYxTWO I agree that it was mislabeled. The graphic shows per 100 people. So per capita gun ownership in the US is 1.2. Tony needs to get his shit together.

@JHawkJewel @TONYxTWO Perhaps you don't know what the term means.

@Rich2Hall @TONYxTWO Your math is off. 120.5 per 100 people. That equates to 385,600,000 guns. I don't find that implausible nor do I find it unreasonable. Guns are tools, you don't have just one in your toolbox.

@TONYxTWO 120.5 guns per capita? I need a reference. That would roughly equate to 41 billion firearms held by citizens in the USA. Doubtful.

@Truth20The @TONYxTWO You can always leave. Nobody's preventing you from living in your favorite Communist country.

@TONYxTWO Besides how many firearms per person in the U.S., the more telling figure is that ignorant MAGAS own 80% of them. But good to see some true, significant stats on the subject. And that AR-15's can be bought by the public; just how fucking ridiculous in a civilized country.

OK, I misread. My bad. There are many ways to declare what happens to your portfolio, almost too many to track unless you're a tax lawyer. (I'm not, I just pay way too much in taxes.) Taxing unrealized gains a foolish policy guaranteed to kill investment / reinvestment. Using that policy in a extreme example you could tax a lottery player for the unrealized gain of their lottery ticket. They could win $55mil so we'll charge them taxes until they don't win then we'll refund the taxes charges.

@SlingForAmerica @averros271828 @MAGAMAHACindy I am pointing out that it is not like the law of gravity you make it out to be.

@Ragamuffine2 @averros271828 @MAGAMAHACindy No you don't. The IRS taxes the realized gains, not all gains. BC it's not a real gain until you sell it. To you own a 401k, Stocks, Crypto? If so unless you sell an asset you're not taxed on a gain, or a loss for that matter. The chaos what you described would crash society.

@pacomenzarbien @saylordocs Oh, you want a US government constrained by the limitations set forth in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I agree with that. But you must admit the progressive tax system is a scam which serves benefit the corrupt.

@SlingForAmerica @saylordocs No, no, no quiero lo que propone él. Minarquía, estado mínimo ya

@Ragamuffine2 @averros271828 @MAGAMAHACindy Can voluntarily elect to do this. You're not required to use Mark to Market. Large traders do this to take advantage of the tax codes, not because the government forces you to use this method. It's pretty obvious you don't manage any stocks.

@SlingForAmerica @averros271828 @MAGAMAHACindy It is a imaginary
