im so fucking pissed i loved her restaurant >:( angery family operated. she would give me extra helpings all the time and demanded i eat more while giving me free shit and we talked about china and stuff. she said she had no issues with payments. AND THEY REPLACED HER WITH NOTHING. its just fucking empty now! has been for a while!

FUCK LANDLORDS. they dont even care about profit, only misery! they take anything good and innocent out of this world and turn it all into empty sadness! one of the best fucking restaurants ive ever eaten at too, and it was popular, even! she put so much love into each dish, legitimately a master in her craft

I really think we need a tax on unutilized assets. Start with commercial real estate then residential real estate and go all the way down to the useful things in your storage unit.

Didn't take your boat out this season? That's a paddlin'.

on god i'd make heartbreaking political compromises to see boat guys suffer

People that don't take their boat out aren't boat people.

true but i don't know a term specifically for 'dude who parks a boat in his driveway 365 and talks about his boat all the time, yet never uses it'

there should be a name for a person that seeks validation for their purchases or expenditures.

Marx calls it conspicuous consumption.

So conspicuous consumer sounds right

Theoretical boat guy?

I can somewhat sympathize, boats are super expensive to maintain and fuel, not everyone has the money and time to maintain them.

Wait, does that mean I'll get taxed on all the HO scale rail & rolling stock I have squirreled away for when I (hopefully) have space for a layout?

Yes, but it is appreciating faster than your tax burden. Model trains and firearms are like money in the bank.

Ironically, once the banks themselves fail, the value of a firearm only increases further

We need to collaborate with the Georgists: Land Value Tax pls.

California can pay for whatever the hell it wants if it just ran on LVT alone and scrapped every other tax overnight. In a way, it really is The Golden State.
