KevonLooney , to Work Reform in Return-to-office orders look like a way for elite, work-obsessed CEOs to grab power back from employees

I’m sick of working 12 hours and barely even leaving the house.

If you work from home, no one is forcing you to do that. I leave the house every day to buy groceries or play basketball.

I miss learning from colleagues who are discussing things I’m not super familiar with, looking over their shoulder to learn more.

Oh, you’re one of those annoying people wasting everyone’s time? No wonder it takes you 12 hours to do your own work.

I miss forming real actual bonds with colleagues and becoming friends with them once we’ve quit whatever shithole company we met at.

Have you heard of this amazing invention called a chat room? I think you are upset you can’t bug people all day and call it “networking”. If people want to talk to you, they’ll do it after work too.

KevonLooney , to Personal Finance in Landlords should have to pay income tax on their rental properties regardless of whether they're rented out or not.

“eliminating tax loopholes”

Those words mean nothing without specifying which loopholes you mean. I’m not insulting you, I’m just saying that you are trying to sound smart while not contributing anything.

KevonLooney , to Personal Finance in Landlords should have to pay income tax on their rental properties regardless of whether they're rented out or not.

You need to go back to school professor. All wealth tax proposals are progressive, only affecting those with substantial investments. I used to dislike them, but a tax starting at 1% on $50 million with the highest rate (say 3%) on net worth above $1 billion wouldn’t hurt anyone.

Also, that tax can’t be avoided either. Even if a billionaire moves to a tropical island with no taxes, their money is still invested in developed countries. It’s too much to invest in tax havens. You just need good KYC to know who the ultimate owner is.

KevonLooney , to Politics in Trump Announces Plans to Finally Go Ahead and Prove Election Was Rigged

I never gave out any of that shit. Gold didn’t mean anything. It’s just artificial scarcity.

Why would you add scarcity online where it doesn’t exist? Only to make money. People will look back on all the stupid shit we put up with online just to make everything “free”.

KevonLooney , to Politics in Donald Trump mugshot promised in looming indictment

I like that this article starts with:

As rumors swirl of a possible third indictment against the former president in Fulton County

This old fatty has already been indicted a third time. This would be the fourth. He’s being indicted so many times they haven’t updated the article to match it.

KevonLooney , to Politics in Conservatives have already written a climate plan for Trump’s second term

Democrats are not center-right, and comparisons to European political parties are not accurate. The US has a “first past the post” electoral system. US political parties are more like coalitions of smaller parties.

The Democratics encompass all the left wing parties, except the Greens (who are essentially Russian agents at this point). The Republicans are the conservative coalition (immigration nuts, rich dudes, Nazis, people who have experienced a trauma and are taking their anger and fear out on the world, etc.).

If you want to move the Democrats left, you need to get elected and raise money like AOC does. Sorry, shouting on the Fediverse doesn’t count.

KevonLooney , to Texas in [Chron] U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert throws pin honoring Uvalde shooting victim in trash

They won’t because voting isn’t done with your head. They’ll just vote for another “tough on crime” Republican and kick out the old police chief.

KevonLooney , to Work Reform in Jamie Dimon says employees can go work somewhere else if they don't like long commutes into the office, thinks remote work doesn't cut it

Do you… not shower normally? Like a job has to force you?

Please stay at home.

KevonLooney , to Politics in Republicans try to stop military’s electrification with mind-bogglingly dumb proposals

I wonder how they prevent the batteries from burning when they are punctured? Diesel doesn’t really burn, but one bullet in the right place can destroy an entire EV in minutes.
