Comment Re:Paying taxes should be easier (and free) (Score 2) 72

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.

You never had any brothers or cousins doing double suplexes to each other after watching WWF? Your anecdotal evidence is discounted by mine. And since mine is real I think I have a case.

1. Wresting was on TV long before video games. 2. Brothers and cousins were hitting each other slingshots and rocks long before TV was invented. 3. Your anecdotal evidence does not "discount" everyone else. It only reflects your ego that you think that it does.

Comment Re:Zoning permits to homeschool? (Score 1) 132

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.

If it's a larger house, there isn't any comparison worth making. In real estate, you compare to more-or-less EQUAL square footage and lot size to comparable properties in the neighborhood when coming up with a valuation.

The only valuation impact a much larger home has to adjacent properties is dealing with the wank that lives in the disproportionately sized home to the rest of the neighborhood, because you are practically assured they will be a wank.

Then he would be inconvenienced by having to leave his compound. And by "he" I really mean the hired help.

He's obscenely wealthy in a country that glorifies obscene wealth over all other attributes - why wouldn't he think he can do whatever the hell he wants when he sees people less rich and powerful them himself doing far worse without repercussion?

Comment Re:Rich assholes (Score 2) 132

Just remember: the most entitled among us are the most likely to bitch about the least important shit.

This is a story about a mega-rich asshole thinking he's above the law, while less-rich-but-still-very-wealthy neighbors bitch and moan about trivial shit as if it was as serious as someone testing artillery by aiming in their general direction.

None of these people know what real problems are.

Comment Re:Wrong business (Score 2) 64

but they said they are "saving" this much money, so doesn't enter the cost.

Like many things in the cloud, the flexibility was probably they could add/remove more machines easily with no long term commitment. The problem with cloud has always been at some point, the cost of leasing is greater than building on premises as the number of machines/data/bandwidth reached a certain threshold.
