Most of the immigrants in the US are not authorized to be here.

The scarcity is technically real, but practically pointless. Every Bitcoin represents 100,000,000 tradable assets. If there are 30,000,000 Bitcoin in circulation that means there a…

Don’t want to end up in a US prison for the obvious scam they’re running.

Based on that chart, the effective tax rate is not near 42%. It actually appears to be closer to 31-35%, which is almost exactly what the $100k person in NYC would pay. I think the…

Do you think someone earning $100,000 in NYC is not an ordinary person?

That’s $125 billion over a decade. Less per year than the MTA spends on a single city. You said it’s not a spending problem, but it sure seems like a spending problem, no?

I was wrong. The latest expansion was $3.5 billion per mile. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-...

Call it whatever you like. The MTA spends $17 billion per year. And we get rickety subway service and piss stained stations that make you feel as if you’ve traveled in time back to…

The “Hey” email service toes the line well for me. I’d prefer all of my communications were based on a similar idea.

Not a spending problem. Proceeds to list things that we spend and invest unnecessarily on. We have a subway system in NYC. Run by the MTA. A bloated and incompetent organization th…

Does physical violence not exist in your worldview?

Taxes are already too high in NYC. A single adult in NYC with a $100k salary has an effective overall tax rate of 31.5%, and 9% of that is city and state. Trying to raise the rates…

No one said it had to be by force.

Getting to the point where we’re going to need phone, email, and SMS to be deny all by default. Can’t reach me unless you’re information is already in my contacts.

Even more absurd hyperbole. Countless? Executing? So many that it is impossible to count? Link me some examples. There are so many that it cannot be counted, and so surely it shoul…

Ah a mere 0.006% of their 2020 revenue. I am sure that Uber has learned their lesson.

>If someone has a problem with dogs, or anything else, then they are not qualified to perform a job that requires interacting with dogs, or whatever their particular disability inv…

Uber lost $8.5 billion in 2019, $6.77 billion in 2020, and recently reported a $968 million loss in Q1 2021. As a company, Uber has lost around $35 billion total. Which really begs…

I did. Did you? 0.3 deaths per 100k across the state. But if we keep moving the goalposts, we can stay hysterical for as long as we want.

Another predictable outcome of taking funding away from the police. Based on the comments it looks like we’re at the denial phase. Maybe another year or two until we wise up and re…

Such absurd hyperbole. Don’t physically fight with police, and you’ll be fine. Simple as that.

Corporate taxes are such a waste of time. Corporations aren’t ever going to pay them so we just end up with all the downsides. Missing out on local investments, IP offshoring, and …

Same reason most Americans are poor. Inability to prioritize long term goals over immediate gains. Save $50 today, but spend $500 more over the next decade.

This is predicated on the idea that the rich will pay their taxes if we just close all the loopholes. If you polled the top brackets I think you'll find that they are more than hap…

The tax problem is actually relatively simple to solve. Tax at the point of consumption. Unfortunately, people would rather have an ineffective game of cat and mouse where they FEE…
