And yet, still obviously paying far, far too little in taxes.

Like all billionaires.

I call 1/24th of the needed money a good start.

Can’t wait to see what Zohran does for the rest of his term.

The state gave the city around 8 billion.

So, you’re telling me, that people’s taxes are being used to pay for services that benefit them in addition to billionaires being taxed?

Inject that shit into my veins. People’s taxes being used to fund their services is how this shit is supposed to work.

Sounds to me like they hate apologists for billionaires. And I do too.

Fuck yeah he did.

And, shockingly, they’re not leaving NYC en masse.

Abso-fucking-lutely.

Every billionaire is complicit, including your favorite billionaire: The pop star, the superstar athlete, the philanthropist, or the guru who cosplays as middle class. They’re all motherfuckers.

I hope you’re right and I’m wrong.

Maybe you just have more faith in people and in change than I do.

Oh I get it.

I’ve said it time and again. Our only power is local these days, and when it comes to voting, your only real opportunity to make an impact is local. Look how hard national Democrats fought against Mamdani’s candidacy.

I think with the two ruling parties as powerful as they are, though, it’s exceedingly unrealistic that 500 Zohrans will get elected anywhere in this country, but I’d settle for another 20-30 of them at the federal level. These good-for-nothing centrists need to be tea-partied in the worst way.

You’re welcome. It’s a sad bit of history. I’ve been down a rabbit hole recently about super-centenarians. (And kind of salty that the oldest verified who ever lived was a rich French lady who never had to work ever.)

Agreed.

Kinda insane that they were just trusted not to cheat.

It means to be released from slavery, and sadly, Caesar was distinctive in that way too.

I used to upgrade every two years. In the last decade though, it’s been 3-4 years, because hardware can keep up with new games and tech as they come.

I am glad I bought two PC’s in late 2024, though, before billionaires decided they were going to force people to rent PC’s for life. I should be set for a while, maybe even as long as we end up waiting for a crash.

This is an exceedingly charitable headline.

Democrats made up a whole new talking point so they could take AIPAC money and pretend they oppose genocide, stating they support “defensive weapons” or some such bullshit.

Israel has been genociding for decades. Democrats enthusiastically helped them do so. They’re not ‘catching up with voters’. They’re supporting the genocide in Iran and Lebanon and blaming it all on Donald for acting unilaterally.

Good.

Kick management in the dick and get the money you’ve earned.

There’s a better copy of the image if you click through to the Wikipedia article.

Good.

I had exam proctors in college. It’s only a problem if you spent all your time partying and didn’t do the work.

Not seeing a ton of reporting on this in US unsurprisingly.

Kinda ironic that the dumb fucking rednecks who repeat ‘Taxes are theft’ ad infinatum elected this piece of refuse who is stealing billions from them indirectly and directly.

Now if only we could find another 500 Zohrans and get them into federal government seats.

But in a country of 300,000,000 people, asking for 500 Democrats with an actual conscience has proven to be too much to ask.

Yes, just like how terrorism was used to normalize all these violations of your liberty 20 years ago, even though your own household furnishings or a toddler with a gun were more likely to kill you than a terrorist.

Doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t be used as an excuse to track you.

Get yourself a ballcap, sunglasses, and a facemask and get used to wearing them and stop carrying your phone everywhere. It won’t beat all the tracking systems but it will be most.

This is why I say all billionaires are bastards. Even the ones with good PR who know to cosplay as middle class.
