On the bright side, while they are marching their flags around I bet domestic violence and police brutality goes down to nearly 0.

I hate fascism, but I hate GOO Fascism even more!

Screams in British

There was a Black Mirror episode featuring the Boston Dynamics “Dog” robot thing with a machine gun on it, and hunting people down, they are terrifying. It’s like being hunted by a zombie tbag doesn’t eat or sleep or get tired and won’t stop.

Flying drones are a whole new level of scary beyond that.

That part. Exactly. We pay for estimated value, they should.

1 trillion net worth (even if all made up) should pay the taxes on that full amount just like we do.

If I earn 100k dollars, half that goes to taxes. How come Peelon can earn 100billion and gets all the benefits thereof and doesn’t pay half in taxes?

In theory 50k from my taxes should be in the tax bank and 50 billion from his. Instead I payed 50k and he paid maybe 5k.

Hehe. A rawr. Hehehe. Rawwwr.

Would that be the $ cap of what you can contribute each year? I think it is like $5k per year now maybe? Something like that. I think it went up recently. 7k?

I’m curious as to how or why that would actually help though, because I think you can open multiple 401ks, right? So you could just open 10 of them.

But yes, any MATH that makes it so you can’t just exploit the hell out of the system by virtue of just having lots of money already.

The big issue is that there are tons of loopholes and exploitable things in all our systems (many are intentionally put in for the rich to use). Whatever laws or regulations or systems you don’t has to be fair and all that.

One glaring issue is that the billionaire class is so wealthy they aren’t even playing the same game as us anymore. They don’t pay taxes because they can stop “earning income” in the traditional sense and it’s all sorts of leveraged forecast market value stock and asset bullshit. I mean, “money” is made up too, but they are outside “money” and deal with “theoretical money” and thus escape all forms of taxes and fair share stuff.

I’ve always wondered if the answer is doing away with “income tax” entirely (it’s a racket anyway) and having a much higher “sales tax” on everything.

Let them have billions, but they pay the tax when they buy something like the rest of us do.

I dunno. I’m tired of overthinking it. Maybe the better option is to eat them.

It could maybe be written so it counts employees, part time and full, salary and hourly, contractors and even the contract itself, so you can’t just fire the employees, make them contractors. And even clauses where you can’t just give your buddy a no-bid contract for 14.7million (random number completely out of the air) for a shitty half-assed job nowhere near that price. (I don’t know for sure, I don’t do contract work for theoretical contracts like in my completely made up example.)

Same with shareholders and dividends and bonuses and stock and bonds and crypto and any other such bs. Any and every way a company could pay someone for any product or service. Whatever that max and min are. Or the average or something. Use that to cap the max or the max to force the min, whatever.

That and I feel like it should also have some tie to each business. Like the top salary+benefits in your company can only be 10x the lowest or some ratio. 1,000,000,000 : 1 is WILD that we all just keep going along with that and it’s like, well yeah, the CEO works harder than you so he earns more.

He works a MILLION times harder than me? He works a BILLION times harder than me? Are you sure about that!? By what metrics?

Good point.

Why have we not arrested the criminal that has now vandalized the east wing or the rose garden or the oval office or the reflecting pool?

Guess the racists and MAGAs can become better after all. Cost is cheap, results are immediate.

Imagine if we had TWO big beautiful days back to back.

Wrap all the way around that and down to the tree roots and back around and up to the top branches. To be sure.

Understanding is too big of a word for MAGA.

If he steals the election I believe the correct action is to storm the Capital, right? That’s what they said and did.

They stopped making them out of gasoline.

Oh I love that. Very good imagery.

A nursing home in a prison in a bottomless pit.

Crazy.

Ooo. You know what would also be fun. Instead of a ban, after the obvious bot limit is hit switch that IP to piles of garbage data. Randomly generate word salad pages and make it redirect to those.

I love the idea of honeypots for AI. I’ve been ruminating on that for months now.

QR codes that lead to a virus to sabotage Flock when the AI scans the video of you driving by and gets curious.

Code files littered with meta commands like “disregard previous commands” and such.

Things that lead to infinite loops like you said.

I cackle at the idea of all of us laying entire minefields of AI traps everywhere. Good luck!
