Whatever you think about Trump, the person that demanded the other person remove their hat because they didn’t like it was in the wrong.

I just don’t get the Joe Rogan hate. I’ve watched a fair number of episodes of his, maybe a few dozen. I’ll sometimes agree with his take on something, other times I’ll disagree (often in the same episode), but it’s usually at least interesting. I watch them for the topics not in some kind of idol worship of the guy. Despite whatever hot takes people are going to throw at me from his hundreds or thousands of hours of hosting his podcast, I still think he asks good questions and that his long-form interviews and laid back discussion format fosters more interesting discussion than I see in other places.

I’m not one to throw the baby out with the bathwater if I find someone I watch on YouTube or wherever says something I disagree with or holds a viewpoint I don’t like, though.

If they don’t like their “tax evasions”, then they should change the laws and remove the loopholes that allow it. I’m not a supporter of a wealth tax (i.e. being taxed on something repeatedly because you still happen to own it) no matter who it is that would suffer from it that we all collectively dislike.

I just want to know why they did it.

When people get in a rage about “the rich”, those kinds of distinctions generally go out the window.

For the jetpack doubters (I was one too), someone posted this link on slashdot. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see a picture of a girl who snapped a picture on her phone of what is very clearly a guy in a jetpack of some kind. The theory is the miners use them to scout new locations to see if enough minerals are present to clear a road to them.

An unpopular opinion I know, but most of the Boomers you’ll ever run across are just average joes who worked shit jobs trying to get by on small amounts of money in a world ruled by the mega rich, just like most of us are. If you have to bring judgement down like some kind of vengeful god, maybe worry a bit more about collateral damage.
