Fuck the IDF. How anyone can suggest that they are "morally right" to do what they are doing is just as monstrous and cold-hearted.

1,400 people died in the Hamas attack. Over 10,000 people have died SO FAR in the Israeli attacks - almost half of which are children. Israel has one of the most technologically advanced militaries in the world thanks to the U.S. Let that sink in for a moment....they have one of THE. MOST. ADVANCED. MILITARIES. On the entire fucking planet. If they wanted to, they could avoid these casualties....but they don't. This is purposeful.

I stopped smoking entirely because I was worried about shit like this. I've moved on to edibles and feel sooo much better....but now this has me nervous. Is marijuana in general? Or smoking in particular?

I mean, It's a news site that provides mostly factual information. Their about page lists the following: "a leading voice of the American left, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture."

You should read the article. There were apparently lawsuits up in Montreal about it.

Here's a wiki discussing the experiments: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_experiments

Good fucking luck to the next guy. Lol

Shits going down like the Hindenburg.

Fuck Joe Rogan. I have no idea how that shitheel became as popular as he did. I subscribed to his podcast for a while just to see what the deal was, and you sort of figure him out after a few listens. He sells alt-right theories under the guise of being a centrist. If a man talks like a duck, and walks like a duck....then he's a fucking duck. He's anti-vax (because his body is a temple, yeah? But then when he got COVID motherfucker loads himself up with everyfucking medication under the sun - ), he pushes toxic masculinity, he constantly says racist shit, he's gone and purposely misgendered people, and he's constantly hosting alt-right speakers.

Essentially, he's a con artist, selling alt-right viewpoints under the guise of it being, "totally, like, centrist bro". Look, you can believe him....he smokes weed man.

We're atheists, and our son was not, this is the printer he was using when he was raptured.

These cruisers only cost approximately $34 million to manufacturer. How are they so cheap? That's like a rounding error in the cost to build a US destroyer.

I was incorrect, and read the list wrong. Apologies for any confusion!

Did you see that lemmy.world has re-federated with hexbear and lemmygrad again?

Even with UBI, people will always want more money if they are able to get it. UBI unfortunately wouldn't solve this issue. UBI needs to get passed though.

The alternative is that we cap it at like 30% or something. It'd still be stupid expensive, and wouldn't be worth it as an investment or passive income anymore.

Exactly. Make it financially impossible to own that many homes, or atleast make it a money pit. If your a billionaire, I guess you could conceivably do it, but it wouldn't be worth it.

The issue is that a LOT of people have their retirement based off of this system. They've worked their whole lives to achieve what they've seen as a fantastic, almost fundamental, way of providing for yourself in retirement. I don't want to hurt these people, even if they make up a sizable portion of the landlords. They are not the problem.

I'm trying to target the people that own 3+ houses, and if you can eliminate the money-making aspect of homeownership, you fix a big problem causing the housing crisis right now.

Because, as we've seen, Trump would totes follow the Rule of Law...then again, who needs silly things like Laws when you become the self-declared Lord Emperor after "fixing" America.

Do people actually give these things merit on 4chan, or is it just a joke/dog whistle? I mean, it's sort of funny seeing someone go down the most braindead "critical thinking" episode I've ever seen, but there's no way anyone goes, "Holy.... shit... he's so right!" and mean it seriously. I refuse to believe people are literally that stupid.... But that could be on me, I guess.

My favorite videos are when they are possessed by a demon and start speaking in tongues. The only to expel said demon is to throw them up. That's my headcanon atleast...

This sort of "critical thinking" should be expected when your daily diet includes lead, diesel, and plastics in it.

I have a proposed fix for this. Hear me out. We increase the property tax by all homes owned by someone by 1% per home for the first 3 homes, and 2-3% for each home owned beyond that.

This will allow people to still purchase a second home (and a possible vacation home), whilst still being able to rent out one or make repairs prior to selling. This will vastly remove the profitability of a homeownership, and instead become a vanity vehicle for the Uber rich to only own homes for themselves vs renting (it would no longer make sense to own 6+ homes as the cost would VASTLY outweigh the income on rental units).

In New Zealand alone this would free up a minimum of around 200,000+ homes within the next 2 years.

In an effort to remove loopholes, homeownership (single-dwelling units) can no longer be owned by business entities, and homes counted towards this tax would also derive from dependents so you can't just "gift" 2-3 homes to each one of your <18y.o. children.

If anyone can think of anything else, I'm open to suggestions...

I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of the content is already freely downloadable from somewhere...

Are you rewarding me for picking up the trash Monsieur Theme Park? I demand equal pay as the crows! I demand seed to eat!
