Absolutely.

It used to be that if you had $10,000 excess income, you could use it to buy $900 worth of stock, bonds, and other financial instruments or you could spend the entirety of that $10,000 on something you tell the IRS you plan to use for business purposes, and pay some salaries for making it.

Now, if you are $10,000 over the line, you can turn $6,300 into stocks, and double your money in 4-5 years. There’s no point in actually spending your money anymore; just keep rolling the excess into the means of making more.

People born in the 1950s grew up with a 91% top-tier income tax rate, which ultra-rich people went out of their way to avoid by spending their excess income on “business expenses”, rather than investments.

I asked a simple question of you which you don’t seem to be able to answer.

Correct. I specifically said that I couldn’t answer it. Would you care to address any of the other points I presented?

Get this to the court quick. Get them to fuck it up fast. And let’s enact universal healthcare.

Are you suggesting that “school shootings” are the only type of violence that should be stopped?

That rapes shouldn’t be stopped?

That armed robberies shouldn’t be stopped?

That burglaries shouldn’t be stopped?

That muggings shouldn’t be stopped?

You are specifically asking for a contradiction: An event that simultaneously occurred, and was prevented by an armed individual. I cannot answer your paradoxical scenario.

I’m saying that if we are going to try to increase safety by banning people from public buildings and parks on the basis of whether they are carrying a gun, it would be statistically safer to ban non-carriers than carriers.

I’m not suggesting that we actually do this, of course.

Plasma donation works much better.

Whole blood donation typically takes 500ml of blood every 12 weeks. Plasma donation takes 1000ml of plasma every 2 weeks (in the UK) or twice a week (in the US).

Concealed carriers commit violent crimes at 1/10th the rate of the general public. If you want to stop gun crimes, you would be more successful by prohibiting everyone except concealed carriers.

I think it makes sense to not allow them in parks, public buildings, etc.

If they are somehow immune from violent perpetrators, I would agree. For example, if the “public building” has armed security.

Otherwise, we’re just creating unarmed victim zones.

Does it involve NASA’s asteroid redirect mission?

Resign.

It’s a catch-22. To get a Z59.71 diagnosis, you have to see a doctor. But if you don’t have insurance, you’re probably avoiding the doctor.

This is kinda how igloos work. They hold the heat from the ground below and the occupants inside. The interior is cold, but not nearly as cold as the sub-zero temperatures outside.

Are they just trying to raise funds for something else?

Do protocols solve the problem of every hop in between you and the destination has to pass through what amounts to someone else’s private property?

Yes. End-to-end encryption solves that.

Oh, bother.

Let them eat cake.

Do you want Luigis?

'cuz this is how you get Luigis.
