Are these the same farmers who were protesting regulations meant to stave off these “crushing conditions?”

government spending has remained high
War will do that.
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. There’s an old Dish Network dish on my roof from the last owner. I need to get an outdoor antenna and find a way to mount it on the dish.
I downloaded an app that came with my antenna that shows where the station broadcast antennas are, but unfortunately the room I’m using it in is on the south side of my house, and the two stations I can’t get are North of me
I need to get a better antenna. I can get Fox and ABC, but NBC and CBS must be too far away.
I think in order for it to be cancel culture I have to refuse to spend money on it. We should all be legally required to spend money on things conservatives love. That way we can make sure there’s no woke residue.
That’s what I do anytime some MAGA relative starts whining about something on Boomerbook: “is this that cancel culture I’ve been hearing so much about?”
Now I need a Wikihow on what makes boycotting Bud Light different from “cancel culture”
I kinda wish the government would recognize their sovereignty, and make them pass through customs every time they leave their property, cut off their public utilities, make them apply for a work visa…you know, give them the full experience.
If you claim 17 children as deductions, you’ll probably get audited. If you claim a new Ferrari as a business expense deduction, you’ll probably get audited. The IRS is not some evil omnipresent overlord looking to lock you into a life of servitude, and the people trying to convince you of that are: 1) very wealthy people trying to avoid paying taxes, and 2) the actual people trying to lock you into a life of servitude.
They audit you, and you provide proof of what deductions you qualify for. If you say you paid $10,000 for child care, and you have paperwork from the daycare to prove it, then you’re good. If you said you paid $10,000 for child care and it turns out you don’t have any children, you’re kinda fucked. Same goes for things like charitable donations. The IRS has no idea that you donated to a cancer charity unless you claim it as a deduction. If they audit you, you’d better have proof of the donation.
They don’t, though. The IRS doesn’t know where your kids go to daycare, or how much you’re paying for it, until you claim it as a deduction on your taxes.
I think a lot of people would have serious reservations about every aspect of their life being instantly and automatically added to a central government database. Yeah, pretty much everything you do is recorded by some government agency somewhere, but ONE agency knowing everything about everyone sounds like a privacy nightmare. Hackers breach ONE system and suddenly everything is out.
If it weren’t for credits and deductions filing taxes would be easy. It’s the tax breaks that make it complicated. I can’t imagine the amount of extra personnel the IRS would need in order to track and account for every tax break a couple hundred million people qualify for.
Lutsenko was the guy feeding information to Giuliani. He’s one of the reasons Trump was impeached (the first time), and his corruption is well documented.
This is the correct answer. Whatever long term thinking we are capable of is a result of the most recently evolved parts of our brain.
Not everything is about Nazis, Boinkage, geez…
I just figured with Lemmy’s interest in politics it seemed like an obvious example. I threw in the car because I didn’t want to be that guy who makes everything about nazis…
“Right to leech” is more accurate, but harder to sell
