  1. You're still lying through your teeth and covering for your buddy's lie about brisket. What law was brisket advocating for? Can you quantify what specifically you are attacking him over? Or is it like your insistence on my use of tiktok? Purely fictional but you've tricked yourself into believing your own lies through repetition?
  2. Is this that thing where you make something up and then fatty piles on to gloss over that you're putting words in briskets mouth? What law are you talking about? You're just throwing attacks at brisket to shut down the conversation.
  3. You're arguing that the only way to be a successful farmer is to inherit the land and keep it within the hands of a wealthy select few landowners, OR be a megacorp that is able to operate as a monopoly. That doesn't make a good argument to oppose estate taxes, but it does highlight the dysfunction of the corporate oligarchy we live under
  4. Lol so your argument is that we MUST have monopolies and oligopolies, or else we won't be able to afford food? Good lord.
  5. If we actually enforced our antitrust laws that would be less of a concern
  6. "Well if nobody is profiting, then there's no incentive to improve things!!! Free public education is SOCIALISM" [/businessbrain]
  7. Yeah, the engines roscosmos uses for its launches were made exclusively in Ukraine, as were almost all of the biggest hulls in the russian navy. Ukraine was very much the intellectual and industrial power house of the soviet union's mechanical might
  8. Thing is, MBT's and artillery are still needed to take a fortified position. Its just that drones made concentrating forces much more difficult and operationally costly. It's definitely a sea change, but I don't see big armored guns going away any time soon
  9. It's moreso constantly being accused of only posting unsourced social media crap that's political, and wanting to point out when you're doing the same. And since when is making partisan complaints about pending legislation "talking about economics"? The dude you're sourcing is making up inflammatory things and framing it as "THEY want to give loans to ILLEGALS!!" But hey, I get it. Y'all need your hugbox
  10. I'm not sure how else you'd find that dude then. Almost all of his tweets are trump this or KAMALA BAD that. It's just funny how y'all keep posting nakedly political people as your sourcing and then get mad about politics
  11. Man, how many trump tweets did you have to scroll through to find that? The dudes whole profile is just pronghorn bait lol. He's not even citing his outrageous claim, which I know really triggers fatty
  12. Lulz finally, a business case for Bitcoin! https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/cryptocurrency-pig-butchering-scam-wrecks-kansas-bank-sends-ex-ceo-pri-rcna167642 The former CEO of a small Kansas bank was sentenced to more than 24 years in prison for looting the bank of $47 million — which he sent to cryptocurrency wallets controlled by scammers who had duped him in a “pig butchering” scheme that appealed to his greed, federal prosecutors said. The massive embezzlement by ex-CEO Shan Hanes in a series of wire transfers over just eight weeks last year led to the collapse and FDIC takeover of Heartland Tri-State Bank in Elkhart, one of only five U.S. banks that failed in 2023. Hanes, 53, also swindled funds from a local church and investment club — and a daughter’s college savings account — to transfer money, purportedly to buy cryptocurrency as the scammers insisted they needed more funds to unlock the supposed returns on his investments, according to records from U.S. District Court in Wichita, Kansas. But Hanes never realized any profit and lost all of the money he stole as a result of the scam.
  13. I really have gotta disagree lol. They sounded like grannies at church at times when all 3 were singing up high but couldn't find the damn notes
  14. He is gonna get laws named after him at this point lol. Speed running being an absolute antisocial choade
  15. Killing a commander has a significantly more serious negative effect for russia than it does for most armies. They are extremely rigid in their operational and information model, and many units will just sit idle until a new commander is put in place
  16. ** For annual LT cap gains over $1MM. My condolences if you're impacted by the proposal.
  17. This video from Radio Free Europe just came across my feed, very interesting to see these russians have the war brought home for them. A really familiar sounding bit at 1:40 in the video: "When did the war start for you?" "August 6th" "What about what was happening on the border before then, was it war? "There was some kind of fighting, conflict. I'm not interested in politics. Since I'm retired I'm not interested in politics"
  18. Taxes are historically low for corporate entities and the ultra wealthy. I don't buy the slippery slope argument when we're already at the bottom of the hill for cutting taxes and making new loopholes
  19. How DARE you PUNISH those businesses for being successful with TAXES you COMMIE!!!! /businessboard
  20. If you're an individual with over a million in LT cap gains in a year, then you've got fuck you money and aren't exactly getting pUnIsHeD seeing a few extra percentage points of taxes on your free money you didn't work for lol. Oh no! Now I can't afford my THIRD rent house! THIS IS COMMUNISM!!!
  21. News: State pardon board was aware of Perry's assault charges against his sister. They recommended a pardon anyways. https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/daniel-perry-pardon-previous-assault-charge/ Really wild that the governor went out of his way to pardon this violent murderer and put him back into the public and restore his right to own as many guns as he wants. I wonder how long until he's Officer Perry.
  22. Trump judges, at it again! https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/21/24225112/ftc-noncompete-agreement-ban-blocked-judge On Tuesday, US District Judge Ada Brown in Dallas, Texas ruled that the antitrust agency exceeded its statutory authority to ban practices related to unfair methods of competition, saying the noncompete agreements ban is “unreasonably overbroad without a reasonable explanation,” and would “cause irreparable harm.” Brown’s decision now stops the FTC from blocking noncompetes nationwide after initially delaying the ban with a preliminary injunction in July.

  24. L O L A business paying taxes is "punishment" for the owners and employees? Gimmeafugginbreak
