Admittedly, a lot of taxes are misspent but a quarter of your income seems a bargain.

For example, I imagine getting to your jon would be really difficult without roads. Or a semi functional legal system that stops people from just robbing your business whenever they feel like it. Or a system that enforces contracts and property rights.

I've had a job where I didn't pay taxes. It didn't end well.

Hadn't thought about it like that but really, if they want to boost profits more hospitals ought to have cigarettes in vending machines, bars in the waiting rooms and taco bell in the cafeterias.

Oh man, I figured that was most of the joke. Is everyone just like "huh, weird phrasing but I'll roll with it?"

I just watched demolition man for the first time the other day, loved that and the future's music.

People whining about nothing sure feels reddity.

Oh heck, I never thought of just asking! (Admittedly, I'm usually high as balls and socially awkward at a movie but still!)

Am I missing something? There was almost no info there. Is there more in video form?

There's a part of me that agrees, trump has a wild hold on the maga crowd. Buuuuut I also have trouble thinking of something that would make it easier for some non trump to channel that same energy than an assassination.

being fit becomes a way to signal discipline, long-term planning, a healthy lifestyle, competence, and so on.

Yeah but I think it'll just be a more explicit marker of wealth instead, sort of how so much of fashion boils down to "how much are you willing to spend?"

Phew, hello fellow old!

If you're into old school ska punk, Streetlight Manifesto is a lot of fun. That being said, I once got pulled on stage while wearing a Streetlight Manifesto where the lead singer of the Dreadnoughts proclaimed "great band, singer's an arsehole though."

Admittedly, most countries have wild plans; a family friend helped update Canada's plans to counter attack America a few years back.
