Serious damage done to the pro-Zionist wing of the party! 👏
I need Haley Steven’s to get more negative press. She has to be the most heavily backed AIPAC candidate and I think she’s a front runner in MI which is a shame.

Oh Yeah
Unfortunately this would require empathy. Not to mention it may lose value for shareholders.

As of 2021 the science was not settled on the ice loss as a cause or an affect. This article goes into both theories.

How do you know they paid? When I was a frequent flier I'd always get upgraded on short flights because... No one paid for first class on those flights but the airline could consume an upgrade.

Turns out "better health care" is a pretty low bar in the US.

So if a woman wants a abortion, you can stop her by using deadly force?
Doesn’t using deadly force on a pregnant woman defeat the purpose entirely?

We don't need tax credits.
We need Private equity out of the housing market.
We need better safeguards for tenants.
Financial moves like tax credits and incentives always end up benefitting the haves.

What was a profound moment that a video game caused you to experience, and why?
WoW: ill never forget it. This was BC expansion and as a Druid I had just recently unlocked flight as part of a huge questline. I was hopping around mining nodes farming for my Jeweler profession when I encountered a Druid nightelf. They had the upgraded bird form (320% speed vs 60%). I must have pissed this guy off or he was bored but he was just stalking me. Eventually he starts fighting me and we had a substantial level difference. I think he was 70 and I was 60. He was going to kill me but eventually I escaped out of combat into bird form. Of course he's several times faster than I am. I had a sliver of health and a single moonfire would've killed me. I am just holding down space bar.. Climbing into the sky. He fires off his moon fire. It should have killed me, but as luck would have it my headpiece gem had a 1% chance to reflect a spell. I had to read the combat logs to figure out what happened, but the spell hit him. The damage caused him to lose bird form and as he was now in combat he plummeted to his death. I landed. Danced around his corpse and went on my way. I could not believe what had just happened.

My based boomer friend rule
At least once a week in my feed get the MAGA post that says if Obama or Biden had Epstein evidence against Trump, they would have used it against him. Nonsense. Epstein used Trump to launder Russian and probably other crime money through his golf club memberships and condominiums. For Trump, a recidivist welch who could no longer go to a legitimate bank for loans, this was easy access to lots of cash, albeit very illegal. Not to worry since the FBI and CIA would have known about these transactions and likely helped facilitate them in many cases. These are the same people who encouraged Colombian cocaine kingpins to invest their profits in NASDAQ for fuck’s sake. Revealing Trump’s crimes while concealing the government’s role would have been tricky at best. Ironic that, Trump’s role as a Deep State operative not to be revealed. That left a bust for sexual predation, which Epstein well documented in images and video. But you can’t produce visual evidence of one man’s crimes within this cesspool without reasonable people asking, “Who are the others?” They didn’t want to go there so Garland, like several gutless Attorneys General before him, chose to kick the scum-covered can down the road. The US Government has provided cover for Epstein-enabled degenerates for 30-odd years, whether their name is Trump or not. But not willing to leave well enough alone, and true to his deep idiocy, a Trump campaign plank was to open the files, apparently confident he could scrub 40,000 mentions of his name before the release. He doubled down by hiring actual morons to oversee the files, based primarily on their years of screaming into podcast microphones that the files prove beyond doubt the Clintons, various Jews and rich blacks are depraved. When his chosen imbeciles looked at the actual evidence, who was involved, and what crimes beside pedophilia went on unabated long after Epstein’s laughable trafficking conviction, you may have heard them gasp. Not Bondi, she was Florida’s AG when Epstein was busted and apparently attended some of his gatherings as a young woman. If you wonder why Kash Patel always looks bug-eyed when questioned about Epstein, he is either unable to get his head around the depth of depravity the files reveal and the names involved, or is absolutely gobsmacked that he was installed to exculpate it all. Alas, I think the Epstein files will follow 9/11 and the Kennedy/King assassinations into the black hole of unproven and partially proven “conspiracy theories” (like the shit didn’t really happen). Smoking guns spoil the fun. MSM, which has always been state media and is now more consolidated than ever, will do its best to ensure that happens. It’s an international story, so maybe some enterprising journalist in Andorra or Botswana will follow the millions of unredacted threads (no damning pornographic video or pictures allowed) to form a cohesive narrative. Only to be found having committed suicide by shooting themselves in the head, twice.

$1.5 billion in estimated revenue: A look at the Massachusetts 'millionaire's tax' first year taxing the rich

Capital gains is always taxed at your normal bracket for holdings less than a year old and fall under special long term brackets for holdings >1 year. Those brackets are much smaller than income.
Capital gains isn't the issue. The issue is people taking out loans against their securities or other assets at often very affordable rates (until recently). Those loans are their income, the interest on those loans are deductible and they never have to sell their assets.
As long as interest paid is lower than taxes on capital gains the behavior will never shift.
