How is that joke of a company even in business anymore?

There are many things I believe someone can accidentally do. Murder isn’t one of them.

10/10 physics joke right here folks

Good ol’ Meme-a-stan. President: R. Astley.

This is especially necessary in California due to the ballot proposition thing. For those unfamiliar, California lets citizens put new laws on the ballot if they collect enough signatures. So each year the ballot there can be dozens and dozens of pages as you read through each of these somewhat lengthy measures. It takes ages in the voting booth, so doing so by mail is way better.

Yep, this 100%. I travel a lot for work and have probably stayed in 100 airbnbs over the years, but these days I ask the company not to bother and to book hotels instead. It’s gone from a platform to get a nice home away from home, to a place to get gouged by rude hosts while staying in a barracks with the sparsest of IKEA finishings. They’ve done it to themselves by encouraging shitty host behavior and having zero consequences for bad guest experiences.

Maybe, but logically they should be taxed on revenue, right? I mean, that’s how we’re taxed as individuals. We don’t get to pay nothing because we took our whole salary and reinvested it into real estate or something. But they do.

I guess it means you send a lobbyist to Washington and invent ludicrous tax deductions so that your company pays a near zero effective tax rate. Just like Amazon!

30-35% is about what Americans pay too in personal income taxes, but this is talking about taxes paid by businesses, which are unsustainably low in the states right now.

I guess all of these stores will be gone before too long as these days a large portion of the new consoles don’t have a disc drive at all.

This is the stupidest one, kudos. Take my upvote.

DeSantis is out of control and has regularly removed innocent Democratic politicians throughout Florida using statues that exist only to remove criminal wrongdoers and national security threats. He’s weaponised the system of appointments and operates in complete disregard for the law.

Alright fellow Oregonians, grab your torches and pitchforks, we meet at OP’s house tomorrow.

I take one of these drugs, Farxiga - I’m diabetic. It’s listed here at $556 a box, I was paying almost $400 a month as my insurance copay in the states. Six months ago I moved to Portugal and here in the European Union it costs me 7 euros to fill that same prescription for 90 days. And that’s through the Public Health Service; I don’t have private health care at all!

Doesn’t mean we can’t do it again, these people have an unlimited appetite for Trump related grifting!

I think it’s time we Lemmings launch TrumpCoin or some similar shitcoin, we can pump and dump on all the MAGAs. We pre-mine like 90% and give it out equally to everyone on here. And then…

Bald eagle flies in front of American flag Are YOU a true red blooded American? Do YOU want to ensure Donald Trump wins? Do your part by investing in TrumpCoin TODAY, patriot. It’s the only way to defeat the communists!

Kidding… mostly.

Idk, I think the original guy has a point. Small and medium businesses generally work really well in western economies, it’s the megacorps and monopolies that fuck all the shit up. When he says limitless capitalism he probably means unregulated late stage capitalism and if that’s the interpretation then basically like, break up all companies with over 1000 employees or whatever. Mom and pop businesses are a great feature of our economic model, but they can’t thrive while walmarts are around.

How about a one question test: have you ever tried to overthrow the government of the United States?
