  1. Why doesn't Trump treat the J6 hostages the same as he treats POWs? I.e. with disdain, because they sucked enough to get caught.
  2. We went to Subway a couple days ago because we had a gift card. $39 for a foot long and 2 6". Ya that's weird. Tipping is for waiters who make less than minimum wage. And sushi chefs.
  3. And they say Biden is too old to be president.
  4. I think you can be pro-innocent civilians. Unfortunately some of those civilians have leadership who are literal terrorists.
  5. Ya… it’s not slow, esp for someone who knows they’re on camera.
  6. I should have said income gap. Both are bigger. I haven't thought a whole lot about it. A wealth gap is okay if there are good regulations and safety nets in place to help people, but that's a big part of the spending.
  7. If the Top 1% was paying 70% of taxes and now they’re paying 80% of taxes, with a lower tax rate now than before, that means their piece of the pie increased by a lot. That isn’t a reason to lower their rate further. They are making more money than before. And I don’t think BRB is suggesting we increase minimum wage further to address the wealth gap.
  8. That’s 2 people making an avg. of $37,500. That was hard before inflation. Keep in mind this isn’t just for the midwest.
  9. I should amend would I said and say the statement is disingenuous, and I don't know why they're highlighting what they're highlighting. The top 25% made 72.1% of the income and paid 89.2% of income taxes. When you bring sales tax into play, since sales tax is regressive (and income tax is progressive) what happens to the numbers?
  10. I get tired of dumb people who end their thoughts with stupid trailing words that don’t mean anything. WTF does “but democracy and everything” mean? Democracy is a form of government. Nowhere in the description/definition does it state how taxes will be done in a democracy. They can be as “fair” or “unfair” as whatever the people or the people they vote in decide. Also, Devo, do you not see any problem with the stat they’re sharing that makes it stupid? Income tax is progressive, which I believe is your problem, but the numbers they’re sharing make the problem look worse than it is. The proper numbers to share are the income compared to the income taxes, not the # of people vs. the income taxes. 23% of people pay 98% of income taxes. Okay, neat, how much of the income do they make? Here is what someone who’s not a disingenuous a$$h@!e would Tweet: The top 5% make 38.1% of income and pay 62.7% of income tax The top 25% make 71% of income and pay 88% of income tax. But sales tax is regressive.
  11. It's now safe to cancel my Hulu subscription until football season, because the last month of the sub will last through 4/13 which is after Nebraska's last game of the season, which I assume will be on 4/8.
  12. It wasn’t a dream. But the creators failed to explain it properly.
  13. A lot of people interpreted the ending to mean none of the stuff on the island ever happened. But it all did happen (and that's been confirmed by the creators). So if that was your take, maybe it'll help. I think I know why it was confusing but I don't want to spoil any of the in between stuff you forgot. If you wanna discuss when you're done, @ me.
