Nah, also you’re never going to lose out on income by making more money.
Like others said, the only possible exception is if you’re getting government assistance and get kicked off programs you’re in because you went past the cut off. So, as an example, let’s say you’re low income and you get vouchers for school. You could make enough money that you’re no longer eligible for that benefit but the amount you make over the cut off is less than what the benefit was.
But, that’s a specific situation. At no time will your taxes increase more than whatever additional income you’re getting. Period.
I’ve tried to explain that too many times now in my life and I’m not even that old. Just a lot of people are bamboozled by propaganda and lies.
Unfortunately for the Americans who didn’t vote for Trump we live in a democracy, for now, and enough of my fellow countrymen felt it was a good idea to elect that orange maniac.
But it’s not like we all support him or his positions.
I get what you’re saying though, my country has done plenty of bad stuff.
Apparently, at least in the USA, president.
I did say it was a conspiracy theory or whatever you want to call the fantastical delusions my brain dreams up.
A bit of a conspiracy but I kind of believe the reason that guy got so close to shooting Trump is because Trump’s security detail probably secretly despise him.
Imagine having to deal with that asshole all the time, at some point you’d just be like, “I’m not risking my life and leaving my family without me for this piece of shit.”
I mean I’m sure I’m just being a crazy person and it’s a bit of a joke but … Idk … Maybe?
Yeah, it’s sad. Even worse when reality confronts their fantasy and they keep choosing fantasy.
It’s hard to come up with a good analogy. It’s kind of like someone watching a crocodile bite their leg off and then hobbling back to the same lagoon so they can get bit again. Then, instead of blaming themselves or the crocodile for the situation, they blame black people.
He lives like a capitalist every single day Shane
Feel free to tell them directly how they’re getting fucked, in a polite way of course. Idk if anything will wake those people up from their alternate reality though.
Is this a legend to the five rings card?
Where’s the mtg card at, get outta here with your shoddy card game!!
I know that’s why I thought it was funny! Got to find the humor in this mess right now. Hoping we can right the ship but right now Trump is steering us into an ice berg full speed ahead
Regular people are dumb af they elected that orange shit stain while he spit in our faces.
So I’m not really confident they’re gonna connect any dots.
Funny you think they’re going to actually pay down the debt.
That article is really fuzzing up the definition of “poop,” I’d argue over half those entries are just how the thing poops weirdly. I guess if you get into semantics it may be technically true but I just consider pooping to be eliminating bodily waste so to me that whole article is like, “look how oddly these things poop.” 😅
These fucking Democrats are watching a dude successfully lie and bully his way into the presidency (not to mention that same playbook get adopted by the GOP in general) then think the answer is to be nice?
Newsflash, the voters on the other side aren’t going to be swayed by a “broadly appealing message,” I’d say an insignificant number of people could even be swayed to switch voting from the GOP / MAGA bastards over to the Dem sonofabitches anyways. So galvanized the troops, motivate people to vote and stop pussyfooting around.
Adopt the playbook that keeps working for your enemy, tweak it some sure, but stop thinking a milquetoast “we’re the nice guys” campaign will ever work. It’s failed so many times now, maybe learn a lesson?
This is Lemmy, we’re all yelling into the void here good fellow.
“oh the people who won’t do anything will keep doing nothing”
Oh shit whatever will I do with their feelings being hurt. Poor little fee fees. Fuck the people that sat out or protest voted or were dumb enough to pretend Trump actually would help bring peace anywhere much less to Palestine.
What are they going to do, be upset that they have to hear the truth?
Bro what, am I reading this wrong or is your premise that NPR doesn’t provide a service?
Because they absolutely do.
What do you want me to say, that it’s clear Russia continually violates ceasefire for the past 20 years of various nation states?
Like idk you can go find plenty of sources that say that I’m sure some won’t be in English but you’re not going to ever find something from Russia themselves that says “yeah we violated this shit”
Or they could have just not said they used an LLM to summarize but the output has a very LLM AI feel to it.
