There’s a reason Buffet sold so much of Berkshire’s stocks over the last year. I wouldn’t be holding anything of value in the US. I moved my IRA account totally over to overseas investments when this jackass came around the first time. I never moved it back.

And I was suggesting that the middle class already pays a wealth tax as most of their wealth is in their home. I agree with OPs sentiment, but have it start above $5 million and have it pretty steeply progressive.

Oh damn, don’t tease me with a good time. I’m not a rich man, but I’d make a donation to help pay for the purchase.

You’re probably right. I last read part of it for a class about 35 years ago, and I no longer trust my memory anyways.

I don’t remember it being that big of a book.

If you are in my state, it’s taxed via property tax.

These relics think the entire reason they lost was because of the bullshit immigrant propaganda pushed by the MAGAt right. So they think their path to success will be showing those MAGAts that they too are hard on immigrants, not even noticing the baby being washed out with the bathwater.

That final paragraph is a real chef’s kiss:

Fuentes has openly praised Adolf Hitler, called for a “holy war” against Jewish people, and championed a “whites-only immigration policy.” Fears have also grown among critics that he’s gone on to become a replacement for slain right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk as a thought leader on the right.

Indeed. I did before I wrote my comment.

Happy to see my Rep at least signed onto the bill.

EDIT: And you a word in the description

Damn. So fucked he (and all the others) went through that. Fuck ICE, and the MAGAts.

Continuing the proud American tradition of violating treaties.

Isn’t that just Mormonism?

Honestly, it’s been a long time, so I couldn’t tell you. I remember doing half-cabs down a five set (not impressive to anyone but me). I remember feeling disconnected, but landing crazy shit. Surfing though was a little too much. That bend and swirl, on a wave, didn’t work for me. A friend of mine really liked the experience though. I remember riding by him at Blacks in San Diego and when I paddled back out he was laughing and said,“you were going soooo fast!!” I guess it’s different for everyone.

In my experience, skateboarding (yes!). Surfing (not so much). Sitting in a park at 2am, watching the sprinklers turn on (yes!). Fucking (not so much). Giving a crazy long massage (yes!). Watch The Wall, Yellow Submarine, Wizard of OZ, et al (yes…depending on the mood at the moment).

Everyone knows who these brown shirt fascists are. It’s just time to see what everyone is going to do about it.

Must be someone I already blocked. Key to satisfaction here is a liberal use of blocking. Sorry for my assumption.

I want something like that, but so small it fits in my phone, then I can say shit to my friends when they’re across the room.

I keep being surprised at people thinking it’s almost there, that line, when it’s far back in the rearview.

I enjoy both ways, but I can’t grasp how people think they are the same.
