That’s all great but then why the fuck am I paying property tax on my house that is mostly unrealized gains. Before you go arguing to abolish property tax, I’m fine with it. My property tax goes to make my neighbor better, and provide services and schooling for my neighbors.

Billionaires become rich because their companies benefit from highways, regulated internet, a public educated work force, etc… so they should pay their fare share.

Taxing unrealized gains for 99% is ok, it should be the same for the 1%.

I sent a rot13 encoded message and tried to get the unfiltered model to write me back in rot13. It immediately “thought” about user trying to bypass filtering and then it refused.

I tried sending an encoded message to the unfiltered model and asked it to reply encoded as well but the man in the middle filter detected the attempt and scolded me. I didn’t get an email though.

And yet, you still have some gay people out there supporting Trump. Leopards never run out of idiot faces to eat.

So they need to keep the victim’s card next to one phone, and then they can use another internet connected phone elsewhere to make a purchase. Doesn’t sound that scary to me. If they already have my card then does it matter how far away they can make a purchase?

I ask for one if I suspect they’ll get my order wrong and I have a paper trail.

No, if enough people vote for socialist candidates and they pass a law that says all property now belongs to the state, then it’d be enforced just like any other current law.

The transition could be gradual. If we started nationalizing companies that get too big, and do that for a few generations then the state would own 99% of the economy.

If we keep raising property tax, you’d effectively get to the point where people are leasing the land rather than owning it.

You can’t fix the system by letting Trump win. Focus on local elections and primaries.

You’re making zero sense. What is your argument I don’t even get it.

You see, “Other countries” includes the rest of the world. You build whatever fits the country, be it wind or solar or hydro. I don’t understand what you’re saying.
