Comment on Senate Republican leader defends Musk’s efforts as a ‘scrub’ of federal government
DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today 3 days agoSo real quick on your self reliance bullshit, did you build the roads you drive on?
That has nothing to do with self-reliance. What are you going on about? By the way, I don’t NEED a fucking car–that’s self-reliance.
My house is paid off. My cars are paid off. My land is paid off. I use solar power for most of my electricity, and good go 100 percent if I chose to. I grow my own vegetables. I raise my own meat. I’m stocked up for 2 years with emergency food and water.
The world could fucking close down tomorrow and I’d be just fucking fine.
I never said anything about getting rid of cars or roads or houses. Self-reliance is being about being able to get buy if that disappeared tomorrow–which I can.
I’m retired, have no debts, have savings to last me the rest of my life, so my pension is just fun money. I live in Amish country most of my neighbors are Amish and/or Amish-friendly.
I could get by just fine if society shut down tomorrow.
If you wanna give the majority of your paycheck to the government because you feel good about it, then do that. Nothing stopping you from donating all of you money to them.
But I won’t. And I fucking love Trump being president.
That’s a lot of words to say “Fuck you, I got mine” we also have one word to shorten even that up with, “Selfish”
You were never taught to share or have empathy for your fellow human and it shows.
And you know what’s hilarious? Most plans that are for things like UBI or Single Payer Healthcare or [ some other Gov Funded Program to help people] can be fully funded by taxing the rich, both individually and giant corporations their fair share.

Considering that you make way more money than I have ever made in my life, that’s fucking hilarious for you to say.

So do you give 80 percent of your paycheck away, and live on minimum wage so YOU can help your fellow human?

I’m all for those things. So how come Biden didn’t make them happen when he was president? How come Harris didn’t talk about making it happen? How come not democrat president has ever made UBI happen?

Where are you getting this info from? You just posted about being retired and having cars, land, housing paid off along with 2 years of emergency provisions stashed. Sounds like you’re making more than me
So do you give 80 percent of your paycheck away, and live on minimum wage so YOU can help your fellow human?
If it meant guaranteed basic human needs (housing, healthcare, electricity and yes, even internet) being met for everyone absolutely I would, without hesitation.
But, it doesn’t need to be, by making the people and corporations with more pay more in a proper and fair scaled system the people with the least, pay the least

Think about it, all those things are currently handled and profited by giant corporations. Do you really think they’re not spending that wealth keeping the profits flowing? Do you really think Trump/MAGA/GOP aren’t in the pockets of giant corporations? Buddy, they are the rich. Dems at least did things little be little, GOP wants to throw the shit in reverse so the rich get richer faster
Did you know there used to be a corporate tax rate of 80%? Right up until Reagan iirc and the GOP has been slashing it since. I think it’s around 30% now, after Biden raised it from where Trump slashed it to the first time around
Sounds like you’re making more than me
I never made more than $20 an hour in my entire life. Are you saying you make less than that?! lol
If it meant guaranteed basic human needs (housing, healthcare, electricity and yes, even internet) being met for everyone absolutely I would, without hesitation.
Oh, so it’s all or nothing. So you won’t help some people unless you can help all people? Hmmmm…
Think about it, all those things are currently handled and profited by giant corporations.
And did Biden change that? Would Harris have changed that?
Do you really think Trump/MAGA/GOP aren’t in the pockets of giant corporations?
Are you saying the Democratic party isn’t in the pockets of giant corporations?! lmao
Did you know there used to be a corporate tax rate of 80%?
So how come all the dems that have been in charge hasn’t permantly change that since Reagan worked on it?
You understand that you can’t plan a tax system around the few people who may not need it, right?
I could get by just fine if society shut down tomorrow.
only morons think this shit.
bet you probably believe you have all the medicine you could need, natural disasters won’t come for you, there will never be a blight on your crops or a problem with your solar array. i bet you even hand crafted your own panels and mined the material yourself.
what a fuckin moron
How would you know? You don’t even live in America! lol
Lol keep licking the soles of my boots baby boy
I can’t, because I don’t leave the US. So I can’t get to you. I wouldn’t wanna go to Russia just to meet you anyway.
And look at you supporting Trump. Don’t want to let all that prepping go to waste with a functioning country huh?
I love Trump. Having the time of my life. How are things going with you?
congratulations! 🎉 you showed them all! you’re definitely not bitter about it are you?
such a shame your kids and past friends won’t talk to you anymore since you became obsessed with child molesters, transgenderism, and defunding children’s lunch programs. don’t sweat it… at least you owned the libs!
congratulations! 🎉 you showed them all! you’re definitely not bitter about it are you?
Why would I be better. I like Trump. So not bitter at all.
such a shame your kids and past friends won’t talk to you anymore since you became obsessed with child molesters, transgenderism, and defunding children’s lunch programs.
My kids and friends still talk to me plenty. Nothing has changes. And I’m not “obsessed” with anything. I posted a link to an AP News article. If you have a problem with the article, bring it up with them.
The majority of the voting public voted for Trump. Not your candidate. So Trump one. Accept it.

Wow. Much hyperbole. I feel like that must get kinda exhausting, but hey, you do you.
DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today 3 days ago
How so? If you wanna give more to the government, then do that. I’m not stopping you. But don’t expect me to.
And Harris would have too. lmao
