Comment Re:taxing unrealized gains is problematic (Score -1, Flamebait) 295

Billionares are a more productive allocation of resources than the state, so I am fine with not taxing them any more than anyone else. If a billionaire takes out a loan, It should be just like you took out a HELOC; non taxable. I know this isnt the current of this crowd, but c'est la vie. If money in the hands of government would fix problems, we'd be living in a utopia. We don't, because government is the WORST allocator or capital imaginable. By far, and it's so bad I'm not even going to argue with anyone who thinks otherwise, because you might as well argue that stars are fireflies stuck in the sky. Among the states, California takes the cake. Unions and voters in California are under a disillusion that a bunch of billionaires are going to write taxes, and suddenly, food will be free or healthcare will cost less, or anything that will benefit them in any way will happen. It wont. I am sorry, it just wont. It never has, and never will. Instead, we are going to just give the money to other contractors of the state and they will just use it on non-profits with executives making millions, ad revenue back to Google and Paramount (or whomever buys them next), and other endeavors of the state like commissioning studies for $40m with nothing ever shown for it.

This very article lists billionaires, like Sergey Brin. He created Google, a search engine which has made just about all of our lives better. Same thing with Nest, etc... We use their services voluntarily, it's why they are billionaires. We don't have a revenue problem. Our government expenditures would reduce EVERY billionaire to $0 and it would not provide for ONE YEAR of government spending. I am sorry, but thats the truth. All US billionaires are worth $8.2 Trillion. The federal government spent $13.64 Trillion in FY2025.

All this is to say nothing of the fact that these "billionaires" dont have the money to actually pay. They will have to sell off their stocks, which will collapse the price. So while they might sell 5% of their holdings, it will dwindle the market down 20%. That will affect 401Ks, Pensions, etc...

This is just a bad bad law all the way around, and we will be worse off for passing it. My signature is more relevant than ever too.

Trump wont turn on Israel. The videos Mossad have of him fucking boys on Epstein's Israeli Honeytrap Island are the knifes over his head. He will fall in line and do what he is told. US will continue to fund Israel's IDF, give them access to intelligence networks, satellites, and then supply them with missiles, bombs, Jets, iron dome replenishments so they can continue racking up the body count of people living on land they want. This will happen, regardless of how this post is modded.

This is why we should have a direct democracy. The people should vote. Representation was useful in the 1700s when technology couldn't manage an election every week. We need a system where we vote transparently on every law we want to vote for. We also need a system where we can propose a signature collect for laws. Bypassing congress and the "Epstein class" swamp will be a boon to America. Of course, because the current constitution is inadequate for governance in the 21st century and the current sitting leviathan wont give up his power so easily, we will have to resort to the one thing that has ever worked: Violent Revolution.

As for the issue on burner phones, I am fine with it, as long as EVERY call that is completed gets tagged to an account holder so we can end SPAM calls once and for all.

This. In fact I think it is downright irresponsible. If this guy found the bugs there is a high likelihood others may have as well. Releasing bugs to the public is the better safer approach when finding a zero day, because it gives users a chance to self-mitigate risks before software can be patched. If you tell me there is a risk using my cars garage door opener link without my consent, I can remove that link myself, until the manufacturer releases a patch. Likewise, I can move sensitive information in th case of bit locker to an encrypted archive or some other solution in this case. The manufacturer 90 day pre-warning is not a good security posture.
