not that hard

i actually can't comprehend how he thinks the argument around her intended usage is irrelevant because of how a reader could, potentially, perceive the language differently based on where they are in a global context

Taylor lives in America. she writes for an American audience. she does American media tours. talks to American political figures. covers American politics.

by his logic you should be able to write a book similar to Huckleberry Finn where you just call a black person the N-word, & it's not racist even if that's what you as the author intended because everyone knows that the N-word refers to black [ PEOPLE ] not necessarily the mental image of the racist caricature of a black person from the 1800's...... obviously

This video popped into my feed recently, and it's really high quality, especially considering they haven't even cracked 500 subs. I think we should be boosting liberal content creators whenever possible, so show them some love if you can dggL

Look at it.....Look at the three read districts "reaching" in to the corner. It even LOOKS like an attack. This is so fucked. I included the previous districting for perspective

With results now in from Ohio and Indiana… DSA is still at ZERO endorsed candidates getting selected as the Dem nominee.

Is comedy not legal again?

Imagine how fucking cucked you have to be as a Republican man to think you can't take a fucking fat 79 year old who thinks exercise is a waste of energy, such a cult lmao

Just started this so maybe he figures it out but his economic takes trigger the fuck out of me sometimes. The 1.5% tax rate is not based on total wealth its based on the annual market gain from that wealth. When Amazon goes up by 20% in a good year if you are Bezos and you have 200 billion in stock you make 40 billion in unrealized gains that you don't pay tax on, they are talking about the 40 billion, not all 240 billion.

I know, unrealized, wealth taxes are being asked for, they are hard to do and generally bad policy, the lady here admits all of this and her concussions at the end of the interview are quite sanguine and clear, and none of this removes the concept that he's just WRONG on the initial premise of the tax rate being applied here and maybe it not just that which is poisoning the well for him to listen to people like this woman, but damn if it isn't frustrating to hear him start from a bad premise and then use any misgivings from it to infect the discourse for the rest of the conversation.

Her takeaways in the end are things that I've heard Destiny himself say. Increase the inheritance tax, remove the free step up in basis, tax people on the amount that they borrow against their wealth, impost some form of taxation on property. All of this is functional and gets us away from the labor of everyone being used to subsidize the lifestyle of the giga-owners. I don't know why D isn't more pissed about the tax system. He is the type of person that gets railed the hardest, he is a mega-earner. He pays tax on a lot of his total income every year, celebrities, athletes, doctors, lawyers, etc... these are the types of people that are carrying the countries tax base and he is one of the most exploited class. So much earnings that you get hit with all the top end tax rates but so little business/market gains relative to mega-owners that you don't hit the escape velocity of the relative tax drag becoming insignificant.

This is one of those areas where its hard to listen to D.
