The government taxes people a combined 55% (state, local, fed, ACA) short term capital gains rate (in some states combined with the 40% federal). Fuck em. Im glad he figured out a …

McAfee is sort of given slack because he was bat shit crazy and kind of hilarious while also being a bit of a tech pioneer with a debatable legacy. Im personally not giving him sla…

Theoretically there will be a point (if not already) where its govt employees and contractors vs private citizens not tied into the system in a monetary way. If you work for the go…

Why YouTube has not been broken up in an anti-trust case to date is beyond me. They control 99% of the video streaming market with billions of users. Its the clearest monopoly in t…

Downvoted but correct. This is a symptom of central bank and fiat absurdity. Trust is being broken and people are looking to a new form of trust.

Comparing directing citizens physical actions to some high level legal battle. Got it.

The LA mayor is telling people to not walk outside because of covid. If thats not absurd big liberal govt policy idk what is. Who would want to live somewhere where the govt thinks…

Platforms like Facebook are not realistically opt-in. Thats actually why social networks work. Its a self-reinforcing mechanism that makes it punitive to leave.

"going after women" just means being motivated to go out and form relationships. pavel_lishin I didnt say they didnt. I was addressing the phrase.

I understand its not hard to get on the platform. Id just judge it on the content and presentation over the platform banner.

Ive watched porn all my life (like most). I dont have a moral vendetta against it. But it seems to be a no-go topic for discussing the serious societal issues from porn. As I've gr…
