Please wait...
So the crap bill passed. "the top 5% of the elite will see the biggest returns and highest tax breaks"
Of course they will. Same old story, F- the serfs.
I call bullshit. The political left paints EVERYTHING as "tax cuts for the rich." You could raise the top tax bracket to 600% and throw buckets of money at "poor" people and they'd still call it "tax cuts for the rich."
In terms of raw dollars, higher earners will always save more on an across-the-board tax cut. The same percentage of a bigger number is a bigger number.
Although I agree that consumption taxes would be better than income taxes, let's say instead we did a flat tax -- say, 5 or 10 percent for everyone, no brackets, no deductions. Fair, right? Nope, the left would still call it "tax cuts for the rich."
It's one of those things they just bleat out over and over again, like "climate change" and "racism" and "tax cuts for the rich". All of them translate to "durrrrrrr I am stupid."
New bank card arrives. "Get started today call bla bla bla ! yay!"
So i call "you cant activate this until end of month"
lol.
I forget where i originally posted, but seems the deal went thru. The federal government now owns 10% of Intel, including voting rights.
And i guess they got it for free.. pressured into it.
This is a really bad path we are going down.
"The U.S. government could take equity stakes in more companies going forward, potentially through an American sovereign wealth fund, according to one of President Donald Trump's top economic advisers."
Yep, we are f-ed. Its over.
Its not.
Of course their excuse is "its only a %"

Looks like most of the tariffs got struck down as being illegal. We will see what happens next. ( my guess is he will try to jail the court members, lawfare is how he works )
And regardless if i agree with them or not, its not the president's job. Its congress. Must follow the Constitution, or there isn't one.

WTF you smoking? I don't think there's a politician in existence who has been more on the receiving end than Trump.
Explain that conclusion please. Most presidents increase their net worth by tens or hundreds of millions of dollars while and after in office. Mr. Trump's net worth has decreased.

He also gives it out. Which is my point.
Get what you give.

On the receiving end of lawfare
Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.
Or as Mark Levin put it (back in 2016, when Levin didn't even *like* the idea of a Trump candidacy) -- "I've never seen anyone take more incoming."
I cant even listen to him. All he does is rant and try to sell stuff, including his book(s), so little actual content its almost comical. Sure, gotta make a living but sheesh... And take a Dramamine or something.
He wasn't bad long ago, but not now.

Not related to any room really, but since its 'on line sales' i stuck it here.
I have rarely bought from them, a couple of ARM boards couple of years ago, but im now on the mailing list for Aliexpress. Get an email 3 or 4 times a day on average: "hot items". I dont often look at the mail, not interested in buying random stuff at the moment ( or if i was, the tariffs prices would put me off anyway ) but often times their ads are funny to read. Translation issues, or just weirdness in how its presented. They don't mean to be, but are funny. Here lately its been tons of lock-pick items. its weird..
When i grew up, congress handled the money, not the president. But then again, back then we had 3 branches of government. Now we have something like 1.25

How old are you? I don't believe we've had 3 branches of government in well over 100 years.
Age? This round or my previous?
Well, perhaps i wasn't as involved back as child, but ti sure felt like we had 3 as they were always bickering at each other.
