The government taxes people a combined 55% (state, local, fed, ACA) short term capital gains rate (in some states combined with the 40% federal). Fuck em. Im glad he figured out a loop hole.
McAfee is sort of given slack because he was bat shit crazy and kind of hilarious while also being a bit of a tech pioneer with a debatable legacy. Im personally not giving him slack, I'm just saying thats why...above…
Theoretically there will be a point (if not already) where its govt employees and contractors vs private citizens not tied into the system in a monetary way. If you work for the govt in one way or another and your…
Why YouTube has not been broken up in an anti-trust case to date is beyond me. They control 99% of the video streaming market with billions of users. Its the clearest monopoly in tech that exists.
Downvoted but correct. This is a symptom of central bank and fiat absurdity. Trust is being broken and people are looking to a new form of trust.
Why is this even here? Are we reddit now?
Why is YouTube not broken up again? Clearest antitrust case I've seen in tech. 2 billion users with something like 99% video streaming dominance.

Does this take into account federal loans and grants for infrastructure spending which is higher in urban areas? Probably not. Does it take into account that many left leaning states like NJ have completely bankrupt…
Lol you talk of this list of “what youre allowed to do” in a good light. I find that entertaining as someone who doesnt live there. “Wow im even allowed to get groceries today”
Why are we talking about this again? Oh yeah because of unrelated whataboutism and mental gymnastics so we dont have to focus on a mandate that citizens cant walk outside unless said activity is approved.
Comparing directing citizens physical actions to some high level legal battle. Got it.
The LA mayor is telling people to not walk outside because of covid. If thats not absurd big liberal govt policy idk what is. Who would want to live somewhere where the govt thinks they can do that. Your rights as a…
Platforms like Facebook are not realistically opt-in. Thats actually why social networks work. Its a self-reinforcing mechanism that makes it punitive to leave.
"going after women" just means being motivated to go out and form relationships. pavel_lishin I didnt say they didnt. I was addressing the phrase.
I understand its not hard to get on the platform. Id just judge it on the content and presentation over the platform banner.

Ive watched porn all my life (like most). I dont have a moral vendetta against it. But it seems to be a no-go topic for discussing the serious societal issues from porn. As I've grown older ive realized its really very…
