Only the most hilarious memes this Internet has to offer. Some may be bitcoin related, most are not. Follow me to see some stupid shit.

Is it really that big of a deal that someone is staying there while the homeowner is not using it? Seems like she's making a mountain out of a molehill here. 🤣

Seems like a good price, right?

I have it on good authority that Joe #Biden is going to roll back those huge #tax cuts for #billionares soon and use some of that money to expand the tax cuts for #working #class #Americans.

Why are people on #nostr do upset about paying taxes?

If you have money, you probably know how to "minimize your tax burdon" (fancy talk for avoid taxes, legally).

If you're actually poor, you don't pay most taxes.

And you keep being fixated on the roads and ignore things like firemen, police, education, the fact that we don't have literally radioactive substances in our food and the list goes on and on.

If you think you'd be better off if poor people weren't educated, I feel like you haven't thought about what they'd do to survive if they had even fewer opportunities than they do now.

If you think the FDA doesn't do enough to keep junk out of people's food, don't act like not having them is going to magically get rid of corn syrup, disodium EDTA, or other junk that's in our foods today.

Compare paying 30% of your income to a private insurance company who denies your claims with having taxes pay for health care.

Can you even imagine if the profit incentive weren't there for pharmaceutical companies to keep you sick and buying their products for life?

But yeah, sure, blame a federal, state, or local government for that fucked up incentive. People will think you are brilliant and insightful because you can complain on social media instead of getting involved to unfuck places where the government really is fucked up, like not investing in infrastructure and then ending up like Flint or Jackson not being able to provide clean water to paying customers.

Do you know anything about your city water? Stormwater systems? Sewer? ANY of the city services you use? Or do you just parrot others who you think sound cool instead of doing your own research?

In the US, if your income is $13,850 or less, you don't pay any federal taxes at all. If you are the "head of the household" that goes up to $20,800, and even higher if you have additional deductions.

If you don't owe any federal taxes, you likely don't owe any state income taxes either, but the specifics will depend on the state. States like Washington make it easy: nobody owes any state income tax, ever.

Follow me for more shitposts that make you think about how you can fuck the system that is trying to fuck you.

This is why we must make it easier for people to be their own #business, whether that means going solo, finding a business partner, or joining a #cooperative.

I want to live in a world where the people are not dependent on "employers" to earn a living.

And when I say "we" I don't mean just "people on #nostr", I mean everyone. #independence #selfreliance real #freedom

Seriously, just going to your city council meetings and listening to what goes on is really enlightening. Many of them are streamed online.

Budgeting, expanding the police force, figuring out how to fund pension funds (something they are typically legally obligated to do and yet often fail to do it).

And with local government, you can actually make a difference, if you choose to do so. Get like 20 people to stand up and talk at a town hall meeting and you'll have WAY more influence than you ought to! 🤣

Get your entertained monkey boat gang pictures here. They're free and worth every sat!

You can omit "standard system utilities" (or something similar) when you go through the installer and it will be VERY small. Then you can add the utilities that you actually need.
