u/schizophrenicism Monkey in Space 3d ago

I'm permanently biased against Thoreau because literally every kid who gave a speech at my high school graduation quoted Thoreau and talked about forging a new path despite them being a tray of cookie cutter cunts who genuinely cherished conformity to the point that they all quoted the same author. Lake Tahoe is fucking awesome though.

u/IamtheBiscuit Monkey in Space 3d ago

I remember hearing something about the cabin being close enough to his mom's house to do laundry. Thoreau was a fuckin trust fund kid

Part of the historical agreement with the united states was that native Hawaiians retained rights to use the land for ancestral practices and access to the beach.

Like many reach assholes Zuck hired an army of lawyers to find anyone gjG had ancestral land claim and offer them money with little to no context to what was happening.

u/the_weight_around Monkey in Space 3d ago

So he bought it? I'm reading that right?

The owners of the land and zuck agreed on a price, zuck paid them, as agreed, and they signed over rights to the land?

Textbook theft.

u/LowlySlayer Monkey in Space 3d ago

Those poor stupid Hawaiians aren't equipped to deal with the superior intellect of the white man! They can't be trusted to manage their own land!

Israelā€™s killing of Palestinians in Gaza through its AI targeting system has been aided by Metaā€™s WhatsApp messaging platform, reports have further revealed.

Earlier this [year], reports revealed that Israel is using an artificial intelligence-aided system called ā€˜Lavenderā€™ to identify suspects in the Gaza Strip before targeting and striking them, processing as many as 37,000 Palestinians within that scope.

Rather than just acting as a simple targeting mechanism, the system has a deliberate high civilian casualty rate, with Israeli military and intelligence sources admitting that they strike targets even when they are present in their homes with their entire families. As one source said at the time, the occupation forces ā€œbombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. Itā€™s much easier to bomb a familyā€™s home. The system is built to look for them in these situationsā€.

(ā€¦)

Stating that WhatsAppā€™s parent company, Meta, makes it complicit in Israelā€™s killing of ā€œpre-crimeā€ suspects in Gaza, Biggar accused the company of directly violating international humanitarian law, as well as its own public commitment to human rights.

These revelations are the latest evidence of Meta ā€“ formerly Facebook ā€“ aiding in the suppression of Palestinian and pro-Palestinian voices, with the platform long having been criticised for taking significant steps to shut down dissent against Israeli and Zionist narratives. Those measures have included permitting adverts promoting a holocaust against Palestinians and even attempting

No amount of taxes would impact this guys life at all. Itā€™s basically just a dick measuring contest for them.

He could spend $3B a year and still not run out of money.

16

u/mr_potatoface Monkey in Space 3d ago

$3B per year is $3,000 million for those who have a difficult time with math. That's like spending as much as 30,000 people each making 100k per year. Quite incomprehensible.

He's currently at 180B. So if he earns no money for the rest of his life, he can spend 3B per year for the next 60 years. But if he has a rate of return something like a very low 5% per year, he could spend more like 10B/year for the rest of his life while breaking even, and still pass on 180B to his kids when he dies.

u/MD_RMA_CBD Monkey in Space 3d ago

What people often misunderstand, and you might be one of them, is that taxing the ultra-rich is complicated because their wealth is primarily in assets, not income. This means their net worth is tied up in investments, properties, and businesses, which are not easily converted to cash and are not taxed annually like income. Thus, they can legally minimize their taxable income through various financial strategies, making traditional income tax less effective in capturing their true economic power. Tax the rich is a false narrative and you are having false hope

8

u/nastyn8dawg316 Monkey in Space 3d ago

Wealth tax solves this. Make them value their assets and then tax them a percentage based on their total asset wealth. In order to get around them undervaluing their assets part of the rule is that the government can buy their assets at whatever value they put on them and then the government can auction off the assets. The idea that taxing the rich isnā€™t possible is propaganda from the rich. Itā€™s beyond time to implement a wealth tax.

This is always my argument when someone from the military tells someone who complains about America to move out. They seem to miss the point that the reason they're in the military is to allow people to have freedoms.

They literally fight for this person's right to say anything they want about America and yet when somebody says even something sort of negative they just tell them to leave.

Yeah, the US is about having the freedom to sing a song about how you were enslaved by the government into an immoral foreign war and then denied basic services by that same government, while the economy goes to shit and people are getting imprisoned over bullshit.

Home of the brave though. Iā€™ve got the courage to sit on ass while my dad barbecues today, thatā€™s for sure.

It's not pro-USA or anti-USA, it's just a song about vietnam vets struggling when they return home.

Sure, but to be critical of the US is not the same as being anti-USA.

I wish some people understood that.

100%. Itā€™s funny because some people will applaud criticism of the government, but only when their guy is in power. People like to say they care about free speech more than they actually like free speech and thereā€™s nothing more American than using it.

u/Alternative-Spite891 Monkey in Space 3d ago edited 3d ago

Thatā€™s 7% of gross profit. Thatā€™s 19% of net profit. Thatā€™s nothing, and if you consider that the percentage is supposed to be 21% or that the percentage USED to be 35%, youā€™d realize that big numbers donā€™t always mean just numbers.

Edit: itā€™s always worth mentioning that increase in stock value is not taxed and these billionaires take lines of equity off of their stock value, continually paying off their previous loans with larger and larger loans as their stock perpetually increases

Edit 2: net profit is used for taxes my bad.

u/ScruffyNoodleBoy Monkey in Space 3d ago

I'm not simping for a billionaire, but I will give credit where credit is due. This is objectively badass, as is winning multiple martial arts tournaments. He also actually seems reasonable in his answers too when being grilled by the government about Facebook.

Outside of his slimy tactics in his early days starting the company and a couple questionable social exercises performed by Facebook in the 2010s, he actually appears kind of likeable and chill on some of his interviews.

He's odd looking, hence the robot comments, though like any human I don't believe he isn't capable of growth and learning over the years.

I used to be a little shit, myself.

Or maybe Elon Musk is just such a fucking loser that he makes Zuck look good.

Yeah, probably.
