I do not use Internet of Trifles junk anywhere on my network for what does not exist is not available for exploitation.

Craving such fecality is pathetic and any consequences deserved because they were invited.

Slashdot doesn't need this clickbait.

A stupid rich vain asshole killed people so intensely silly they cared about Titanic, whose sole claim to fame IS fame. The world is slightly wiser in consequence.

Think about it. There is no reason a functioning adult should be morbidly fascinated by a mere shipwreck but people crave to masturbate to drama, and romantic death appeals to the bitch-made (a perfect hood term for a much wider degeneracy) mind.

The other casualties were so cravenly silly they utterly failed to perform THEIR OWN due diligence before becoming someone else's suicidal beta testers. They were sufficiently educated to understand the basics, including that ZERO reason exists not to copy proven hull designs zero reason existed to change let alone use an utterly absurd choice of hull.

Rush had Alvin--tier money but pure vanity is why he chose a childishly silly hull design no reason existed to want because nothing about it was better. His loss is as minor as a common auto accident. Ditto the "collateral damage" who knew what they signed up for.

Are they REALLY missing the point? Or are YOU missing the point?

Those unrealized gains are good enough to borrow from, so they are good enough to tax. The simplest method is to tax the money as it is being loaned. Everyone agrees on the value then.

So what? There are millions of people within the USA that have never, and will never, own a fucking home. Let it all burn until we can learn to organize a society where people who are willing to work are treated fairly. What exists now is essentially slavery but without all the responsibilities of maintaining the slaves. Fuck that noise. That is no way to live. If you think what I am saying is unreasonable, that is only because of the social status of your parents.

If the value is certain enough to borrow from, it is certain enough to tax. Lies and deception should no longer be tolerated.

That is not the way it works. You pay taxes, the government (doesn't matter which level) assigns a contract to a buddy's company, kickbacks happen to the politicians who greenlighted it, and something hopefully gets done with the remaining value of your taxes.

Well, if they can borrow against that unrealized wealth, they can be taxed on that unrealized wealth. Fair is fair.

Harris could have maintained the facade, this is true; however, the facade was covering extreme corruption, so it is better that the facade was not maintained. Or are you thinking Trump is a cause rather than a symptom?

The adult choice to be tech-ignorant in 2026 has consequences.

There is no excuse for that level of self-neglect. Boomers don't get a pass since they lived through the birth of the internet. If you're old in 2026 you had many decades beforehand to pull head from arse and learn.

No, they couldn't. Ask me how I know. Sure, it was "easier" then, but not THAT easy; especially the house.

Sure, but for the past 50 years, the poor have been getting poorer, not being lifted up by the 'rising tide'. Corporations have been consolidating and now there is almost no genuine competition and the prices have increased in lockstep.

In other words, this is demonstrably no longer Capitalism.
