“possibility”. uh huh. sure.

but as a thought experiment, if he did somehow eliminate federal income tax for that many people (and presumably financed it by some combination of printing money, shutting down major federal programs like medicaid, etc)… Would he just be god emperor for life in the minds of like 70% of americans? I guess the high would wear off pretty quick and its not a trick you can pull twice, but idk, it feels like it might win some people over. maybe enough to overcome the “but the constitution” pleas of the libs (not that it takes much he’s already almost there)

of course if he did it by making everything cost double which seems to be what he’s proposing then I feel like people wouldn’t react positively besides the usual rubes

that I for sure understand, it ain’t broke… (although chromebooks are just google data harvesters through and through, I personally would run linux on it and ditch chromeos, but thats just me)

the sheer number of people I know that still use chrome despite me telling them that chrome is the reason their adblocker doesn’t work as well and doesn’t work at all on youtube blows my mind. They care enough to use an adblocker but then the most intrusive ads (long video ads, midrolls, etc.) they just shrug.

And thats not to mention the huge number of people that just don’t block any ads. Ads are literally spyware in addition to being annoying, but apparently that’s fine

I thought that the story behind the ship full of fertilizer and the dock warehouse that exploded was pretty well documented in that case (though I suppose, the fire could still have been triggered or exacerbated by sabotage, which might be what hy’s asking). Pretty reasonable to suspect but idk if there’s any evidence of it

just be glad it’s still (political)

It was so funny… But it caused technical issues with moderation and had to be rolled back: https://hexbear.net/comment/6016816

the “Buy European” comm seems to pop up a lot. Not that its anything good, just that if you browse All>Hot its there a lot
