Sure, I’m against all fraud. While we look for poor people scamming food stamps for $40 a month, let’s do small business owners scamming millions from SBA, doctors bilking Medicaid, highway construction companies overcharging and under delivering. I bet we can come up with some more if we put our heads to it?
Nawwww man, we gots to FAHHHHHR all those lazy IRS and FBI agents that are actually making people follow the law. FUG EM, roll tyde
I don't think he's talking about fraud, I think he's talking about offering short term incentives that encourage behavior that is reckless and destructive in the long term to people with low conscientiousness. There shouldn't be an implicit marginal tax rate over 50% and there should at some point be a reduction in benefits when you have children while on means tested welfare.
I bet the leader who has his own shiiitcoin crypto will be the one to fix this.
Good, ethical tax and law enforcement is vital. But the IRS and FBI as currently constructed are not that. It's why it's criminal that all the bad actors in both are getting off with less than slaps on the wrist, because it makes it impossible to fund. We need more small and medium size business audits and less effort discriminating against nonprofits for political reasons, but having the latter makes it easy to politically fight against the former.
I'm fine with cutting anything back that's being gamed. Our government is well past inefficient. If I'm a betting man, you're about to see taxes rise in a big way and government programs cut. But I'll say, I'm not seeing business owners injury people just to get an extra check.
Who do you think tells them what to do? Are you sure you're blaming the correct people?
Maybe Phil Robertson had it right: "Get a woman who can cook. If she's a little on the homely side, that's okay, we'll all be there one day"
Even worse, if he gets the wrong judge, the fact that she's spending everything they make and more is going to increase the amount of money he owes her rather than counting against her. It's one of the most bat **** parts of a bat **** system that a wife that helps her husband manage his money wisely gets penalized in the lifestyle calculation if she qualifies for alimony.
When someone's bar is set so low that it doesn't matter if what's being done is good or bad, a hard reset on perspective is needed.
What one person thinks is bad, someone else thinks is good. But besides that, what I think IBMD was actually saying was, sometimes the pot needs to be stirred to get things moving.
Is it worth mentioning the Biden administration accomplished more legislatively than any in 60+ years? Hell just the CHIPS act alone is far more consequential than anything trump I proposed.
You bring up a valid concern about bitcoin’s reliance on the internet, but I think people often make two key miscalculations when considering this issue:
Thank the good lord that I did hit the lottery with my soul mate in marriage almost 20 years ago, but I do feel like I've witnessed more of what you're talking about during the last few years than any other point in my life.
It's only been five days, and he's already brought in 500 billion and 600 billion in consecutive deals. Give him time.
I did see his tech owners got the greenlight to do their ai projects after he got paid off. Was there some meaningful policy or legislation I missed?
I know you're kidding, but if we're invaded or otherwise face a catastrophic event, bitcoin is going to be the easiest and most secure way to transport or transfer wealth.
Last year was a big year for MSTR investors. It finally got back to its March 2000 high. It's returned a whopping 26% now over the last 25 years. NVDA has returned 71,925% over the same time frame. I'll Pass.
I have never even come close to contemplating an exit strategy to this degree. Like it hasnt even crossed my mind, and I am a planner.
Haha to be clear, when I say aha moment, I mean in understanding how bitcoin works. I don't make a habit of crossing political boundaries with a 12-word seed phrase in my head. I don't expect I ever will.
I am out. I am not a financial genius. I'll let someone else solve the national debt problem. When you start talking about billions and trilions, I have no idea what you're talking about
He won’t. You’re right. At this point I just want a leader that doesn’t celebrate the destructive behavior.
You don’t need a computer to “send bitcoin to an address secured by that private key”? Please explain.
To be clear, when I say transport bitcoin, I'm not talking about an on-chain transaction. My post was in the context of someone crossing political boundaries with bitcoin. You can travel with an unlimited amount of value using a 12-word seed phrase. Compare this to logistics of transporting a significant amount of gold.
Ah horse shìt. That's not a real number. Please cite your source.
The housing issue is the only thing that drives rate talk right now and the GSEs are about to make it easier than ever to get a home without investing money in a down payment. Heck, they're even eliminating appraisal requirements. By the way, the GSEs shouldn't be government run. Of course, Trump is claiming to be removing about 11 million people from the country, so there's that.
Women in America were never allowed to have an opinion until yesterday. Not that long ago they were all chained to stoves and had their mouths duct taped because of the brutal, oppressive patriarchy. If you know anything about women, it's that they rarely speak or share views about others even today.
We don’t have to decrease M2, we just have to stop increasing it. we are not going to be able to have deflation and reverse past inflation. All we can do is stabilize the money supply.
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
That would be typical. Government holds back supply with one hand and then decides to “fix it” by subsidizing demand.
