If Mort Divine ruled the world

HamburgerBoy said:
UBI has to be paid for by higher taxes, which increase the cost of doing business and adds more pressure to small businesses than large ones which can hold the burden. UBI is supposed to pay the minimum amount needed to live; by the current $12k/yr proposal, it would still pay $3k/yr less than a person making minimum wage, 40hrs a week 52 weeks an hour. For many jobs, the UBI-wage would probably be closer $6k/yr when most people don't literally make minimum wage, and when many such workers do multiple part-time jobs instead of a single M-F 9-5. So in practice, UBI subsidizes two-thirds of a Walmart's wages. At least some Walmart employees may realize that working full-time for just the remaining third of their income is a bad deal, but Walmart still needs workers. Therefore, because one of the most expensive components of running a business (wages) has been paid for by one of the most expensive and consumption-slowing taxes (a VAT), it is within Walmart's power to raise wages and/or reduce working hours to maintain employment. Most small businesses would be crippled by that. UBI is the ultimate corporate erotic fantasy.

Ok. So first the "Freedom Dividend" isn't supposed to provide enough to live on. It's just extra cushion. Yes, it "subsidizes" Walmart, but then it subsidizes all businesses from that perspective.

The floated VAT is supposed to be specifically on "tech companies," ie, taxing the FAANGs. Is that going to make it more difficult for their competitors? Possibly, depending on how it's implemented. Do we expect some American based competitor that isn't Walmart to take on Amazon in the current situation? Not in the foreseeable future.

I don't see where Yang proposes to apply the VAT only to tech giants, but assuming that to be true, I guess that makes sense logistically: specifically tax efficient businesses that circumvent the labor cost issue, subsidize primitive business models that rely heavily on low-skill labor, protect fragile human egos from technology. Sounds like the most backwards proposal in American history though.
 
I almost didn't get it. "Mexican" is such a common shorthand for "brown American" that the dictionaries should just be updated tbqh
 


Leftists have a bizarre relationship with the state and taxes. He says "what did I do to earn this tax cut" and also says "the government gave me more money" when in reality all of his money was already his, the government doesn't have money to give and you didn't earn a tax cut, you're being allowed to keep more of the money you already earned.

well
there are guys that are "exclusively top" meaning a guy who sticks his dick into other men but then won't touch the other guy's dick
it get's kinda weird here
there's guys that prefer recieving blowjobs over fucking pussy and the prefer sticking their dick into someone's ass over fucking a pussy, then these men stick their dicks into other men [instead of even trying to get a female to perform a blowjob or recieve anal] but then after sticking his dick into guys he says "i'm not gay" because "i'm not touching anyone else's dick"

this is, of-course what is happening during "prison sex" but also, for the black community, this weird thing extends out into "the free world" where a guy spending a hundred bucks buying a street-corner hooker from the hooker-strip sometimes weirdly prefers the huge-boobed-trannies over the hookers that actually have vaginas but then says that he's "not gay" because he's "not touching dick"

50 cent is specifically adressing these specific guys (really common in the black ghettos) and 50 cent is saying to these "tranny chasers" that "yes you really are gay"
 
^^ Wow.

Honestly, yea I think you are gay if you are in a relationship with a tranny. Or at least significantly bi-sexual. Im not transphobic, but if I found out the "chick" id been dating was actually packing heat, id be like "lets just be friends". It is just a counterculture I am going to choose to distance myself from since I like regular orthodox relationships.

So when did the slippery slope slip from "give them rights" to "have to seriously date them"? Dating a tranny is kind of gay, no doubt. Always Sunny confirmed this.
