It's amazing how many people were okay with lighting our country's future on fire because they feel weird about using updated language. What a bunch of petty little wussies. Imagine the tantrums if they had to do something that is actually difficult and requires real sacrifice. - ThreadSky

If only these people had found the strength within themselves to sit tf down on their couches and do absolutely nothing about their weirdly tender wussy feelings, enjoy their damned football monster boat rallies or whatever. Sadly, not.

... or at the least, own/deal with their own shit.

Oh! Be careful directing these guys toward couches😏

I'd rather they were doing it to the couches instead of the country.

Well they might find out what real sacrifice is. Most of the bottom 85% do not live with lifelong sustainable wealth, but struggle most of their lives to maybe get to have 20-30 years of comfortable retirement time before death finally strikes them.

the average American retires with $46,000 of the 1.4 million they need to live comfortably.... so the poorest half of the country either works until they die or struggle mightily to keep body and soul together

I wanted an 80% progressive tax on any wealth above what these rich assholes needed to maintain their obligations for their very comfortable lives. Shit, all I want is a UBI system in income for $1500 a month in wage assistance for everyone else. Determining earnings cut off threshold is debatable.

I think, contrary to all the talking heads we have to listen babble, it's super easy to set a wealth tax:

100% tax rate on wealth that is significant enough to buy the votes of politicians.

We dont have to imagine.

*looks back on the seething rage of masses of people asked to do the bear minimum to help fellow citizens during the covid pandemic*

I don't even think there was any real pressure for anyone to express their pronouns or gender identity. They just hated that other people were doing it.
