- Comment on FL wants more child labor 6 days ago:
How dare you speak ill of the holy Corporation! It is superior to all of us lowly humans. If it needs a child sacrifice to function then we must give up our best children!
- Comment on FL wants more child labor 6 days ago:
Lmao. Nope. And anything you are supposed to get is covered under the At Will employment laws. Which is a fancy way of saying your boss can walk in and say you’re fired at any time, give no reason, and tell the state it was for cause so they shouldn’t pay out your Unemployment Insurance.
- Comment on FL wants more child labor 6 days ago:
Florida infamously removed water break regulations. In a state the military regularly suspends training due to the heat index. I’m starting to get the idea that these aren’t good people.
- Comment on FL wants more child labor 6 days ago:
All workers should have a guaranteed meal break on any shift that takes up 6 hours or more of their day, commute included. The economy is supposed to work for us, not exploit us.
- Comment on FL wants more child labor 6 days ago:
Kids shouldn’t have to be earning money. We are more than a cog in some capitalist’s machine. Productivity has massively increased and instead of demanding the gains of that increase we bemoan the loss of “opportunities”.

That’s interesting and all but many Spanish speaking people have had family on this side of the border since California was a Mexican territory.

For reference, San Diego and Tijuana back right up to each other and have one of the busiest border crossings in the country.
You’re going to hear Spanish there.

My mom forgot about the dark alley part though so it was public.
Yeah that’s true but the English language is known for stealing words.

Just the number? The Aryan Soldier part is fine? Dude there’s no redeeming part of that name. It translates as IamANaziIAmANazi.
- Comment on I'm gonna be really pissed if my chtistofascist parents were right 3 weeks ago:
If they were right it’s because of their ideology. They are the ones denying climate change and the ones supporting Trump. They aren’t prophets, they are the problem.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 3 weeks ago:
I agree with the sentiment but to put some numbers into perspective we spend about 850 Billion a year on K-12 education. The US military budget is about 850 Billion. Now I would fully support switching about 200 Billion of that and throwing at the most underfunded schools in the country. Another source would be police budgets. Police are massively overfunded and take most of a local region’s money. So we could easily grab some of that funding too.
Generally wealth transfer taxes should be higher though, so buying houses (especially second and third houses or out of state houses), buying vehicles over the “budget” category (ballpark 35K these days?), any boat that’s not a primary residence or a 10 foot fishing boat, etc etc… This idea that anything other than income tax should affect everyone equally is pretty ridiculous, as is the idea that the only way to tax wealth is to tax stocks.
- Comment on Massive botnet that appeared overnight is delivering record-size DDoSes 3 weeks ago:
They’re all state actors these days because all the ones that didn’t hook up with a country for protection either got their doors kicked in at 3 in the morning; or they kept to small enough operations to not be a real bother. I guess one of them could have forgotten the 2010’s, but I doubt it. They tend to be smarter than other criminals.

Best case? Some grey hat found a hole in security for Internet connected cameras and is just having fun. Worst case? Training runs by a state actor.

I’m not going to “finely enumerate and spell out the letter of the law in hundreds of variations” for you.
Income and wealth taxes also have hundreds of variations and fine tunings. Saying I have to invent a whole new system on my own right here and now or else I’m not serious is not serious.

It’s as fine tuned a proposal as, “tax property”.
