Nothing inherently wrong with taxation. The problems are how taxes are determined, how they're collected, and how that money is distributed.
Halfway Post is a satire site. This is not true.
It's in part because Biden ran on opposing fascism, got elected, and then did nothing to oppose fascism. He sold himself as a dragonslayer, but once he got in, he didn't want to upset the pro-dragon crowd.
So, yeah, when his protege ran the exact same campaign, it didn't instill a lot of confidence.
Not just Israel. He's also here for the Baileys!
From Wikipedia:
Schumer has long claimed that his political decisions are guided by an imaginary middle-class couple, Joe and Eileen Bailey (initially O'Reilly), swing voters living in the Long Island suburb of Massapequa
My wife and I are eleven months apart. She gets carded and I don't. Some people just look young.
... and I spent fifteen years on drugs and heavy drinking.
Schenectady is "the place beyond the pines" because there was a big old pine barren between it and the next settlement over.
Yeah, my wife has historically loathed JRPGs in part because the turn-based combat was too dull. She tried Expedition 33, fell in love immediately, and tried to show me the combat system like, "Look! It's so new and innovative! This is how all those old games should've been!"
...So I'm putting Barkley Shut Up & Jam Gaiden on her computer next time she leaves it unattended.
I called the cops once after my apartment was broken into. They stomped around, flipped all my shit over, and "dusted for fingerprints." Then they accused me of attempting insurance fraud because I said I had more electronics than they expected.
I've never known a victim of a crime who was relieved after police intervention. Have you?
Well, yes. Businesses are run as dictatorships, not democracies. This is one of the reasons why no one who would "run a country like it's a business" should be elected to public office.
Hahaha. So many people outside of logistics have no idea how logistics works.
I can only speak for the US, but I am confident that anyone who gets into trucking now will be able to retire from trucking when they hit 65. (Assuming we're not all already dead from war or climate collapse.)
Big LTL companies like UPS or FedEx will probably be able to automate standard pallet hub-to-hub shipments. Per this article, final mile delivery for small parcels can probably be automated. So that just leaves... most freight?
Smaller shippers and receivers, including regional carriers or smaller manufacturers, are still running their logistics like it's 1970. They don't have the capital or any real incentive to modernize to a standard that would be needed for fully automated logistics. There would need to be funded government mandates and extensive infrastructure work across the country.
Dr. King’s policy was, if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That’s very good. He only made one fallacious assumption. In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.

New York State gave them a contract to be in every rest stop on our main highway. I was opposed on moral grounds initially, but when I found out about the Sunday thing, I was flabbergasted at how boneheaded a move it was. Literally travelers can't get food on the highway one day per week.
