These far left folks never change. They're driven by the conviction that government can do things better despite so much overwhelming evidence to the contrary, however well-meaning the intention.
If I'm honest, I probably felt that way when I was 17 years old, but my excuse is I was 17 years old.
Suggesting that the intention was kind is… optimistic.
AI images will make for GREAT copycat threads…
But I love ya outside of your work!
Please feel free to share with all of your fellow subcontractors and friends in the actual government. The check’s in the mail…
A grand experiment? There’s nothing experimental about this.
It really wouldn’t be hard for the IRS to automate the whole damn thing.
So far there’s a $200 to my benefit difference with me and TurboTax filling them out than the accountant. I’m thinking about running both returns through an AI to see what that says…
I imagine that within 4-5 years, Tax Preparer as an occupation will be obsolete.
Much cooler than Joe’s Trans Am
Name one thing that wouldn’t be better off privately run?
The U.S. government.
LMAO
The U.S. military.
Quite a few think the military IS privately run…
The IRS.
LMAO again. Plus, they would be largely irrelevant.
The (criminal) justice system.
LMAO again…
Election boards.
Okay…
Social Security.
You can’t honestly believe that.
Yeah, the government really shouldn't ban transgender treatments -- that's clearly an issue of individual liberty; whether one chooses to transition to woman or man has no bearing on how others live their lives.
But mandating vaccinations is clearly a matter of public health and public good. Those who refuse to vaccinate can clearly compromise the health and safety of fellow citizens who cannot be vaccinated due to other health issues. Ditto environmental regulations for clean air and clean water.
It's not a matter of the government having too much or too little power, but whether it has the right amount of power to control the right set of things. Of course, nobody knows better than I what is the right amount of power and what are the right set of things.
So in other words… No. You haven’t learned a thing and will double down on making the same mistakes.
Good to know.
The memorial is for the family/friends sake… Not the deceased.
The deceased probably made that request pro-forma, not wanting to be a burden on her loved ones, but not considering whether the memorial might be for the benefit of the survivors…

SPACE — Astronaut Christina Koch reportedly played a pivotal role in the success of NASA's Artemis II lunar mission on Monday when she helpfully screamed in the pilot's ear as they were just 5,000 miles shy of colliding with the lunar surface.
"Look out!" Mission Specialist Koch cried out as she placed her hand on the Orion spacecraft's dashboard. "Use the space brakes! The space brakes!"
The crew's pilot, Victor Glover, reportedly jerked the ship awkwardly in response as he was startled by the female crew member's reaction. "It's OK, I'm looking at it," he said.
According to NASA sources, it was impossible to say whether the Orion spacecraft the crew occupied would have made contact with the moon or not. But what was clear, Koch pointed out, is that they absolutely did not crash into the moon after her warning.
"As mission specialist, it's not my job to be a backseat driver, but I didn't expect Victor to fly so close to the moon either," Koch said, who referred to her role as being exhausting. "I can't exactly relax when he's flying us around at over 1,000 miles per hour. That only gives us five hours to react. I just wanted to make sure he was paying attention."
At publishing time, Koch had helpfully instructed Glover to turn left once they reached the moon.
So… now that we are barely over 25% of the way through Donald J Trump’s 2nd term in office, are you willing to concede that the federal government has way too much influence and power on the daily lives of Americans? Do you wish that DJT and his Congressional Cronies had less reach into your lives? Are you ready to restrain the powers of Executive and Legislative branches and put more power and responsibility to individuals instead of vast bureaucracies?
Or have you not learned the lesson of the DJT presidency and plan on doubling down?
Name one thing that wouldn’t be better off privately run?
One of the biggest problems with air travel in the US is because the airports aren’t privately run…
Her name was Yvonne, not Jesús. Why do you automatically assume it was a Hispanic male driver, @jon-nyc ?
