Murphy, Quinn, Debbie... so we gotta choose between Marco, Stormy, Sparks, or Hesh?

I'm looking forward to the bored captain launching his pirate radio station...

Nah. I walk in to Home Depot, don't find what I want and just walk out the exit door. No problems. Sometimes I even walk out the entrance door.

It's nice to live in a town without homeless bums.

Yeah, I was trying to actually type in the kid's name, but the Slashdot submit process seemed to hang perpetually.

Sheesh, I tried making a "Bobby Drop Tables" reference here, but Slashdot wigged out!

Someone needs to work on their table sanitization...

Yeah, I've used them in the past. This time, I think I'll still use them - but then print them out and mail them in.

I might hand-write in a couple of the numbers, just to add to the burden.

To be accurate, he said "we" are going to win so much, while leaving "we" ambiguous.

The missing definition of "we" is "we billionaires" but was purposefully left ambiguous so that ignorant salt-of-the-earth types would think they're included too when they never were.

"We" are now finding that out the hard way. Well, some of "we" - about 75 million people figured it out previous to the election last year, but not everyone learns at the same pace.

Awesome analysis. /s

Now take a crack at this one:
IF the government receives all the same paperwork that I do for filling out that 1040 form and dropping it in the mail;

AND they use that exact same paperwork for checking my math for any of hundreds of tiny mistakes that can be made;

AND they are always thought to be right, with the burden of proof otherwise being on me

WHY does each and every one of us need to bother with this bullshit instead of receiving a 1040 that we can review and open a request if we think it's wrong?

This process is so fucking backwards it's not even funny.

Project 2025 is basically a billionaire wishlist - most of its elements will actively hurt anyone who's not super-rich, and Trump and his masters know they can't really hide that fact anymore. They also know they're almost certainly gonna get hammered - in the popular vote - in next year's midterms, so they need to stack the deck. Fortunately for them, there are enough ultra-rich Republicans running a few of the more populous states - who know Project 2025 benefits them as well.

The downside (from the GOP point of view) is that even in GOP-led states, the big cities tend to lean Democrat - and redistricting alone may not be enough. So they're working towards pre-staging the Border Patrol and National Guard in as many of those cities as they can, getting ready for active voter suppression.

Presumably, the customers of Nexperia (auto makers) have contracts for the delivery of product. Now the company decides not to honor those contracts. What do you expect the country having jurisdiction over that company and those contracts to do?

I'm sure the billionaires that run operations like Intuit TurboTax had no input on this delay, either.

Just as soon as we stop letting rich people do whatever the fuck they want with no repercussions or consequences.

You think a guy with that kind of money gives a shit about the city having a regulatory fit over him doing stuff?

He'll pay the fines and then pay someone else to file the paperwork and make it all go away, because he can.

You and I? We cannot.

Nice rant.

Please show any of the other 49 states that do not have similar regulations.

Spoiler alert: you will not find one, because every state has these regulations in order to conform with various federal laws about special needs education.

If he was homeschooling, it would be his kids at home and there wouldn't be traffic concerns.

There are other people's kids being educated there too, which means he's operating an unlicensed education facility.

But it's OK because he's a tech bro billionaire so we already know there won't be consequences.
