  • Net worth taxes are stupid.

    Just tax loans collateralized by stock as income, and give a deduction on the interest when they pay back the loan.

    That’s currently the biggest loophole the wealthy use. They use their stock portfolios as collateral for loans, which are untaxed. Then as their portfolio grows they take out more loans to cover the old one and fund their lifestyle, or they liquidate some of their assets at the much lower capital gains tax to pay it back.

    Just tax collateralized loans as realized gains and be done with it.



















  • Terminally online people say this, but their annual profit has increased year over year except for 2020 when everything was shut down.

    They had a 9.6% increase yoy from 2022. Which was itself a 5% increase from 2021.

    And even with Covid they rebounded to exactly where they were as soon as the shutdowns hit.

    They went down 12.7% from 2019 to 2020, but went back up 29% for 2020-2021 and has increased ever since.

    So the question of who is gonna eat there is answered. It’s everyone except you apparently. Everyone else keeps buying and pushing their revenue and profit higher year over year.

    They have had 2 bad years in the last 15. They probably know a wee bit more than the average Lemming.


  • The Christian population in Gaza has declined by 2/3 since 2009, when there were about 3,000 total. Today there are fewer than 1000.

    Hamas has made a huge push to either get them to convert or leave, and have killed dozens.

    And why compare them to al Qaeda? Why not the Taliban?

    They have a formal alliance with the Taliban, and both are the governments of their state. Both have pretty much the same platform as well, and both are officially opposed to AQ because AQ competes with them for power.
