@moonchild23580 Hard question... I'm a trucker living on the road. If I was same age but female... depends.
If I was female but had the same curiosity & drive to find a state & city to settle down in...
I guess?

@MsReyda You can deport your way out of it though.
Get the dmn under class illegals cutting our wages outta here, so companies have to compete for employees instead of workers having to compete for jobs, and this problem fixes itself.

Why do people always assume that every single Mil/Gen Z spends their entire paycheck on lattes and Uber Eats?
Wages have been flattening since the 70s. You cannot budget your way out of income inequality.

You can't complain about boomers having it easier in their early 20s if you aren't willing to live like the boomers did when they were in their early 20s

@Camp4 That's already the bottom like 40%, net negative taxpayers.
That's 'one' of the reasons his other point that the problem isn't revenue, it's spending happens.
So, you're partially right, but it's to late to hold that view. Is why so few people care about all the rampant fraud.
English
The second order effects of this would be disastrous. Bezos knows this—he’s just trying to deflect criticism.
It’s not about the 3% of tax revenue.
Every voter needs skin in the game and needs to feel the sting of government spending. Otherwise, they’ll only vote for more.
Jeff Bezos@JeffBezos
Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.
English
@dscheinm That 3% paid is the people between 40 & 50%. The bottom 40% already pay nothing. They just need to increase standardized deduction from what it is now, to something reasonable. I'd prefer 100k, but... I'd settle for 50k 🙄
Then remove ability to vote from net negative taxpayers.
English
I may the lone dissent on this, but I think it is important for everyone to pay for the federal government. I believe in shared obligations. When that goes, 50% of the population sees government as “free stuff” and demands more of it.
Shay Boloor@StockSavvyShay
Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

@FrankLopezGhost It's not about getting rich. It's about living within your means.
If u make 60k/yr, love your job and are happy with that. But you're constantly broke... and looking it up, you're spending $350/week on takeout.
It's not about getting rich. It's about living within your budget.
English
I know many rich people, not a one of them got rich skipping lunch and/or buying store brand peas & corn, they maximized their earning potential.
YOU’RE NOT GOING TO BE A MILLIONAIRE BY EATING CHEESE SANDWICHES FOR LUNCH.
PassiveAggressiveIncome@indexnforgetit
The "packing your lunch" debate is a financial literacy test It's the marshmallow test for adults... and 70% on this app fail If you pass, you're almost guaranteed financial success at some point in your life If you fail, I am 100% certain you will never achieve any sort of financial success and will struggle with things like "payments" and rent prices your entire life
English
@GundamIsHere It wouldn't be hard either. Just a simple increase of standardized deduction from whatever nothing few grand it is now to 100k.
Literally that simple.
English
@ThatsBoSheep The problem is people that eat it. Every day. Every meal.
That is why McDonald's costs more than Dennys. If there's enough people willing to pay more for trash take out, the price of trash take out will keep going up. McDonald's used to be cheaper than cooking at home so 🤷
English
The twitter debate about food affordabilty seriously has me uncomfortable.
Can't believe we're at a point where we're trying to convince people that a burger and fries from a fast food joint is a luxury and indulging in it sometimes is living above your means if you make under six figures.
If you think its okay for someone who works 40 hours a week (or more) doing the jobs most people don't want, but commericial society can't function without...and then have the audacity to tell them they're irresponsible for getting a cup of coffee, or a take-out meal? We're not talking some five star restaurant and steak with all the trimmings. We're talking about a drive thru window.
It's just the rich dehumanizing the poor and moving the goal posts... again, to make it not 'a cost' problem. A 'commerical' problem or 'greed' problem. But the problem of the average worker instead.
Money tight? Yeah, maybe don't get Starbucks every single day, maybe don't eat out every day.
But this invalidation and online shaming of people for things that USED to be considered accessible?
"Them darn kids and their avocado toast!" ...God damn, please.
English
@HakureiRyan The problem is that people pay it.
Back then people didn't eat fast food daily, everyone knew it was trash food, that's why it was cheaper than home cooked food (I lived in tuesday $0.29 hamburger, thursday $0.39 cheeseburger).
As long as people keep buying it, price goes up.
English
"Buying lunch out every day was never affordable"
Bitch just 15 years ago $5 worth of fast food could feed you for an entire workweek. That's less than 1 hour of minimum wage pay by the way! Boomers are desperate for us to forget that at one point fast food was price competitive with cooking at home. In fact this strat right here likely came in under the per-meal cost of anything you could make at home for the same amount of calories and fillingness. Remember, these used to be bigger, they have shrinkflated in addition to becoming more expensive.
English
Fuck me you guys are amazing. Number 3 in the WORLD!

@KatiePavlich .... that wouldn't even cover current social security tax... doesn't even cover 75% of current social security income tax.
English
Actually, everyone should pay taxes and at the same rate - 10 percent.
Jeff Bezos@JeffBezos
Zero out taxes for the bottom half of earners. A nurse in Queens shouldn’t be sending money to Washington. Washington should be sending her an apology.
English
@shawnlehner @DonutOperator Brown some hamburger in the microwave, strain, taco seasoning, cheese & salsa...
English
@realPyroAmos @DonutOperator Slow cooker in the passenger seat. Easy delicious meals while you drive.
Or meal prep with a smaller electric cooler. I meal prepped for this week on Sunday. Took me 5 minutes to throw some frozen veggies and frozen chick breasts on a sheet pan. Do laundry while you cook. Easy.
English
Utter bullshit. EVERYONE has time and capacity to cook their own food.
Taylor Lorenz@TaylorLorenz
This is bc they do not have the time or capacity to create home cooked meals. It’s an issue countless ppl have tried to raise w leftists but big leftists online continue to shame/abuse poor ppl for being forced to rely on these services for meals, which act as a tax on the poor
English
@moonchild23580 Cause women lie. Obviously...
Or just have a very different view of having a boy/girl friend means
English
how does every girl have a boyfriend but every guy is single this doesn’t add up??

@Awk20000 Typical *can't attack the argument, so attack the people* behavior. Once you've recognized it once, you start seeing through it every time they do it.

Denims mocks SmugAlana & Shoe0nHead while reacting to Shoe’s video
"I am becoming a misogynist..is this how s*xist ppl feel..can u speak at a pitch that isn't annoying to listen to..listen, I have always thought women with deep voices sound s-xy”
“She (SmugAlana) sounds like female Nux Taku..that's why it's so f'in annoying”
“Is this what like IDF members use to torture Palestinians..it's so bad..can u imagine that's ur streamer man"
"I would much rather have a wife who ppl pay to be beautiful than have a wife that sounds anything remotely like this..have this creature speak to u..my cringe limit has been reached, I cannot watch anymore..AI videos of Hasan rapping that sound nothing like him..there must be some demonic entity within that woman"

@moonchild23580 My crush? 🤔 probably take the money... my crush probably a terrible person.
5mil or a life partner that's aligned with me in goals & morals...
Well that'd be the life partner
English
$5,000,000 or marry your crush?
No loopholes. No second chances.
You take the money , they disappear forever. You choose love - you struggle together from zero.
Be honest… what are you picking?
moonchild💫@moonchild23580
Choose wisely: 5 million dollars or Marry your crush?

@jajaja7878uu 🤔 NC Soft's Lineage was my game for the better part of 10 years. But then they canceled it so 🫤 kinda bitter about that.
I don't know the language but, I think the way your letters stack to form syllables which then combine into words is really cool.
