If you want to talk about taxes, include cost of your healthcare. Because that’s included in our taxes.
Fun fact, America pays as much per capita for healthcare through taxes as Canadians, but that only gets you Medicare and Medicaid. Americans sure get angry about a lot of things, but I never see them get angry about that.
Now do the exchange rate.
Seems like a pretty sane way to handle market pressures, rather than, “I hope nothing terrible happens and my bill is suddenly thousands of dollars.”
First and foremost, she isnt eligible to be president until next year. She’s only 34, and won’t be 35 until after the inauguration.
Whoops, looks like I misread and was off by a year. I don’t think it’s going to matter this time around, but hopefully they keep her in mind for the future.
As the saying goes, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.”
I didn’t mind my own business when a woman accidentally walked into the bathroom I was using. That was mostly because I was using the urinal, and it was more visible than I’d like from the bathroom door. Not her fault, just badly designed.
I wouldn’t classify it was witty. Pithy, succinct, a truism, sure, but not particularly notable beyond who said it.
If I was looking for a witty saying by Voltaire, I would go with, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Note also that it’s value is not because it is witty, which I believe it is, but because of the content of the words. Unlike your words, which I can only hope was an attempt to be witty, yet also had no content.
Voltaire said, “A witty saying proves nothing.” In your case, this only partly applies.
Care you explain why he’s better? Is it his business acumen? His morality? His honesty? His willingness to do what’s best for the American public? His faith in the bureaucracy that allows any large organization to work? His support of the legal framework of the country? His physical fitness? His intelligence? His past record as president? Honestly, I’m curious why you think he’s the best option for this job.
Like the camel’s nose, once you let a little bit of dictatorship into your country, you soon find out there is no room left for democracy.
My computer doesn’t support Win11, so I have that going for me. Transitioning to the Steam Deck for my gaming, which has been a slow but mostly positive process. Some of the games don’t play well outside of Windows, but none of the ones I really want to play, and I can always switch to my computer if I do.
I don’t think I’ll ever own a Win11 computer.
You can even do those things without raising the spectre of communism.
But the hero also engages in vigilante behavior in order to get the bad guys, and they’re all for that, so I can see the confusion.
Almost nothing Reacher does is laudable in real life, no more than Bauer in 24. It would be a poor morality play…if that’s what you thought it was.
And the odds of any of that happening is vanishingly small if Trump wins. Even if he doesn’t, I think he won’t see any serious consequences from this. In court, anyway.
