and take that money from its rightful owners (the rich)?

nah, it's deficit spending all the way down (including for a lot of those tax breaks the rich are getting)

it was a $2.04b jackpot. would have paid out that much as an annuity over like 25 years or something. taxes would have been withheld from those payments.

the 'lump sum' option was $997.6m, which is what the winner opted for. after taxes the amount received was actually $628.5m.

whoever pulled the $424m out of their backside took another dose of taxes out of the payment that already had taxes deducted.

it's an iptv stb, it doesn't need much. it's not designed for subscriber customization or 'app' loading.

capitalism.

none. sounds like you're cursed to ride the windows train for life.

maybe instead, pass a law. one with substantial penalties for failure to comply, that requires 'social media companies' of a 'certain size' to do (reasonable) 'things' in order to operate or make themselves available in canada. things that spaceman fireball would never do

it'll be an inside job.

"hundreds of u.s. diplomats just submitted a request to get shit-canned."

if you're too fucking scared to face the voters that put you into office...

maybe, err, rather--most likely, you're a fucking moron that dun did something beyond the stupid.

most retailers won't be happy with the same net per unit when fewer units will sell due to the higher prices, so they'll be adding more than just that 25% of 'cost' to the final retail price.

the basic idea of the tariffs for lord diaper is to pressure those countries into doing what he wants. the revenue stream is secondary to that goal, but is a significant shift of tax burden onto the lower and middle classes; while the wealthy get tax cuts 'funded' by those tariffs that disproportionately affect those least able to afford the higher prices.

"then what's all the cuts to medicaid and snap and other benefits and programs going to?"

more tax cuts for the rich.

"how about all the other 'savings' from 'doge'?"

more tax cuts for the rich.

"then why is the deficit still growing by billions and billions?"

more tax cuts for the rich.

"when is it our turn?"

never!

hate. he sells hate and hurt, and the maga nuts want to see certain people hurt, even at their own expense.

translation for the masses: it's about "making america's rich, richer". he don't give a fk about you or me or anyone else. just those very few at the top (and even then, he don't care about them, either, unless they're giving him a cut or are a pathway to power)
