Joke, it's not real

There's talk about abolishing the IRS, but...it needs to be more than talk. Currently we've got a taste of tariffs and, as per usual, we're getting ass-raped by the IRS & federal income taxes. Getting it from both ends.

We'd have to see it in action, but a consumption style tax would be straightforward. Steep, sure. But I would love to be freed from the immense burden that is the IRS. However we can manage that....I would give almost anything.

Fuck the IRS, fuck filing taxes, fuck all this wasteful spending of our goddamn money. It's not the government's money; the government has no money. It's our money that they steal from us, and yet we're still $36T+ in debt. This is unsustainable. We need to fix it.

There's a lot more to flesh out, but I agree 100% with this basic principle. I'm looking back & idk other than the occasional spanking when I was very little, most physical discipline was administered by my father. Even if I crossed my mother.

It reinforced traditional gender roles, and frankly I think it subconsciously implies....a solidarity & mutual respect between the partners in a marriage. My father stood up for, and backed, my mother. They parented mostly gently, but also firmly, in lockstep. Were they perfect? Of course not. But generally speaking I think it worked pretty well.

...sure. Then try this one.

"While the city continues to dispute the claims of a gang takeover, Jurinsky has released a series of photos, videos and email exchanges she says prove the problem is worse than city officials have let on."

...and you guys also forgot to mention the border state of New York.

This border state problem is a national problem.

It depends on the media you consume. This is no doubt a blind spot to most liberal media consumers, but conservative media has covered MS-13, sometimes extensively, especially in the months leading up to the 2024 POTUS election. We also heard about TdA, Tren de Aragua, in no small part because of Jose Ibarra, who raped & murdered Laken Riley.

I mean you don't know. While you're getting all new stuff....try a phone wallet app. I only have 1 physical CC in my wallet plus some cash if needed. The tap to pay uses a dummy CC#, it's very secure, so even if stores get hacked your info is safe. A lot of people don't know this...phone wallet app is very very safe.

I have 1 physical CC but have access to all 5 CCs via phone wallet app for tap to pay.

Also recommend a small front pocket wallet. Easier on the back, it's less prone to slipping out/getting stolen, and if you're looking for a brand-specific recommendation I like Trayvax with its 65-yr heirloom warranty. It's a wallet for life. 🙂

Good on you locking the cards via their apps. 👍👍👍

People have been pro-asbestos dating back to Roman times, and even back then it is said they knew it was harmful as well. But used it anyway. 😆

That's true enough, I guess we were formed & forged out of necessity. If you wanted to surf web well, you had to figure all kinds of shit out. If you wanted to pirate, same deal. Watch porn? Better delete that web history, but also make it look believable.

It was baked into our brains at a young, impressionable age. And we absorbed it all.

Now these kids don't seem to know how to do shit. Frustrating. They should be tech savvy.

Get your left arm back! Insert 3 backslashes. \\

None of it shows up well, super dumb, but seriously 3 will fix it.
