"Vote" might be a very strong word after that fire allegedly burned up ballots.

Get rid of your fucking Ring cameras holy shit. That was one of the most chilling ads I’ve ever seen

[creekfiend]

😰😰😰😰😰

[knitmeapony]

[sistersorrow]

People: Ring is using their cameras to spy on people

Other people: You're being dramatic

Ring: No, we're definitely doing that, which is why it's in our ads

The default is on. Turn off as above.

“Organization cofounded by Stalin is super committed to women’s rights.”

[yetanotherdayofdrudgery]

Being co founded by Stalin is one of the least of the UN's sins. Not because Stalin was a fluffy puppy but because the UN sucks that bad.

[tlaquetzqui]

I was referring to the unprecedented mass rape committed by Stalin’s army, which dwarfs all subsequent crimes the UN has been involved in to insignificance.

One of the UN’s founders characterized his troops raping 1 in 8 women in Central Europe (including countries like Czechoslovakia and Poland where they then demanded to be welcomed as liberators), 1 in 9 of those so brutally and repeatedly that they died, as “having fun with a woman”.

That makes their posturing about women’s rights not just hypocritical but vile.

[emmaubler]

The UN "peacekeepers" has been caught multiple times using food aid to coerce women into sex, so the idea that they have any moral authority regarding women's rights is not even laughable; it's enraging.

Why is a tax on unrealized gains so bad? if anything it seems more efficient since it doesn't punish people for transacting. Is the fear that the underlying asset is illiquid so people couldn't afford to hold it even if it was profitable? Is it just that the accounting would be annoying?

It destroys people. It leverages a tax on people, sometimes a higher amount than they've ever owned in their life, on the theory that maybe they will make that money in the future.

[brazenautomaton]

the advocates of it would say that it doesn't hurt normal people only the obscenely wealthy who they hate and want to kill

they don't notice or remember that if you're afraid someone will hurt you, and that person says you aren't worth bothering with, they are coming for you first.

>Is it just that the accounting would be annoying?

You need to add a whole lot more infrastructure to determine what the "worth" of those unrealized gains are. Making a government program bigger rarely results in more efficiency.

Also, this gives the government a strong incentive to over-estimate the unrealized gains for more tax revenue.

Also, who says they won't continue to tax transactions?

[yourtoradorasextendedwarranty]

That's the stupid part too of course they would continue to make taxes on transactions necessary and relevant. The government can't help themselves but consistently overspend on literally everything. And that's the reason that they constantly want to raise taxes in the United States. And every other country for that matter.

Because they think money should be in their hand rather than the hands of the people who hold those things.

Sadly however, what most people don't realize is the fact that when you text unrealized games not only does the government get to overestimate what's something is worth to charge you the most they possibly can. They will also continue to find ways to charge you on it because if you think that they're going to stop at a tax like this you're out of your mind. And the one fun part about stocks or other on realized gains, like solid assets like houses and cars etc, because those are, in fact, on realized games because they are worth money in estimate. Is the fact that eventually those people are going to have to start selling things off to pay for these games that they have not received which means they are paying taxes on money that doesn't technically exist.

The dumbest part about that is that it liquidates everyone's assets all at one time. Worse than that it will actually do massive damage to most of the stock market. Which does affect the entire market.

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

Not to mention, most retirement plans are unrealized gains. This would wipe out 401ks overnight. It would destroy pensions.

[oww666]

You buy a house for $200K the value goes to $800K you now have to pay taxes on $600K that you never received BUT WAIT you are already paying higher property tax on that increased value EVERY YEAR so you would be getting taxed TWICE on the same item and again where is the money to pay that tax coming from ? the original ask suggests BORROWING against the principal ? where is the money coming from to pay back that loan ? selling the principal to pay the tax destroys the principal and in the end less taxes would be collected anyways because the value of the principal would continue to drop the entire thing is a Ponzi scheme in reverse to destroy the middle class because rich people would just hide the money offshore or in non taxable havens
