i have had family get into this. I keep telling them, if you make money they will kick you off the site. They only want degenerate gamblers who lose everything.

Nope, half or more of your income would go to taxes.
66
It gives the current employees the notion the company is doing well and expanding and not laying people off.

@grmpEqweer imagine all the people that are going to die when we have socialized medicine?? Imagine waiting 12 hours for an ambulance only to have to wait longer in line at an emergency room only to be told euthanasia is your only option. They have caps the doctors can make in some of these countries so the doctors only work 6 months out of the year and take the rest off.
30
good luck with communism. When investment stops, you have massive starvation.
23
honestly you can thank the fed for all of it. They allowed interest rates to go to zero for too long. All these businesses took out hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and they reallly have no where to put it.
23
@Thezuule1 I know it’s sad, your life becomes a commodity and the government decides if you have worth or not. I would save every dime I could and flee to a free county.
18
If people can’t make money doing an activity they will stop doing an activity. You will have all these doctors quitting or moving to a free county.
14
Detrumpificator4377 i guess it would be more akin to socialism at that point because in order to prevent billionares you would have to impose massive taxes on them. The problem is these people would likely move to a capitalist county and they would receive the benefit of their economic development.
13
@grmpEqweer hey, so are you in China or Russia? Asking for a friend.
9
@SharienGaming its the other way around, these billionares give value to people who work. Without them and other business owners, most people would have no way to provide for themselves. Look what happens when a factory leaves a town, it just slowly dies.
8
@stevechance150 i have heard they are actually offended when you say they are socialist countries because they have a free market, use capitolist principles, defend private property ownership. They just heavily tax the middle class to pay for welfare programs. In the US the middle class pays virtually no taxes.
7
Detrumpificator4377 some people just work harder, are smarter and more driven than most. If you have a system that holds these people down; they are bound to leave. Look at China, their wealthy have started running towards the exits. China actually jailed one guy trying to leave.
7
@grmpEqweer also is it true you guys get paid 5 cents per post you make on social media??
7
@grmpEqweer hey so did you make another 5 cents for this post? How do you guys like the Ccp in China. They seem like they are moving away from communism and wholly embracing capitalism there now.
7
@senboy9002 at least euthanasia is cheap in these socialized medicine countries. I hear they are taking out the homeless too.
7
@Lily-gr1ct not to brag but I make 3x what most people do and work less than 40 hours a week. I got out of the hourly wage trap and did my own thing. There is no safety net, no benefits when you do your own thing but the upside is unlimited.
5
rent isn't getting more expensive, the value of money has decreased dramatically. The money supply was increased by 7 trillion dollars. As a result, everything is more expensive. Housing is not a human right. You are not entitled to the labor of another person or their property.
5
where i live, investors bought up a bunch of dilapidated crack houses and fixed them up. I am an uber driver so I have seen a major improvement in the neighborhoods because of air bnb. None of these clowns who are complaining about lack of housing would touch these houses. This is why they will be forever renters.
5
@Alex-cq1zr my understanding of communism is essentially the state owning the means of production and banning ownership of private property. The problem is govt employees tend to not be very motivated or smart. They then to give contracts to their friends who are also incompetent. Then the economy collapses. Smart people flee in record numbers. Investment dries up. Currency collapses. Govt defaults on al public debt. Sound about right?
4
well, unions cause companies to go under so it makes sense to me.
4
for what? Being good at math.
4
if you think medicine is expensive now, wait until its free.
4
@Kingzzxepic well you get what you pay for, and with socialized medicine it’s nothing. So you likely will get nothing.
4
@robert2690 no but with this spending, the money will be worthless.
4
@sheepcommander_ well, the only reason I say that is there are a ton of people position online who are communists. I virtually never met communists in my day to day because most people realize that is a failed economic system. It has to be the ccp
4
unions by their very nature are inflationary as they drive up the cost of labor and reduce its productivity. In a time where costs everywhere are rising out of control, there is no place for unions in our economy. It will likely take a currency collapse to push us to that point, but we will get there. Wages went up for wait staff in restaurants in my area, I stopped going and now just make my food. If subway employees make 20 an hour and a sandwich is 17 I will stop going and no union will save you from unemployment.
4
like what? I already pay taxes on my house, cars and boat. What else?
4
@ yeah but you realize as a persons tax burden goes up their productivity goes down. You get to a place where it’s not even worth it to go to work at some point because taxes will eat up any profit.
4
@DustinLaGriza yeah the numbers just don't make sense for universal health care. We are already going bankrupt because of healthcare. The only solution is for the govt to get out of healthcare all together or to completely nationalize it and cut everyones pay in half or more. From the the top down. The problem is most doctors would just set up shop in mexico and take cash.
3
@ you are getting that bible verse wrong. It’s the love of money that is the root of all evil. 1 Timothy 6:10
3
@Lily-gr1ct when the factory owner shuts down because his can make more money in Mexico and now the workers have nothing to do, maybe they should have been happy with their wages and/or developed new skills.
3
@youtubesucks1499 the top 10% of earners pay 73% of all taxes. The bottom 50% pay 2.3% of all taxes. You tell me what would happen if the top 10% decide to stop working and therefore pay no taxes. This county would end in 6 months. The fed would have to print more money than has ever existed and it wouldn’t be enough.
3
@JakeobE its fake.
3
@ I work for Amazon as a delivery driver
3
Please fire all these people.
3
@Dominique03 talk to anyone in a union. They take money out of your check and only protect the lazy people. They destroy most companies.
3
we have 5 kids, paid zero for childcare because my wife stayed home with the kids. we had to let go of alot of things. But the 2 income homes appear miserable. we have a modest home and can't go to starbucks every day. Is way better than this nonsense.
3
I have a feeling this plant will be moving to Mexico.
3
@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 it’s never enough. When I made $12 an hour I wish I had a little more, then $15, just a little more, $30 a little more and so on. The point is it’s never enough.
3
@kimberlychodur3508 imagine living in a county where the govt decided if you get health care or not.
3
I have lost a ton of money the past couple of years investing in biotech companies. Never again. Money is leaving pharmaceuticals in a rapid pace. There are these billion dollar companies going under now. The prices do seem insane but the cost to make these drugs is also insane.
3
major automakers are already abandoning EV's. They can't compete with tesla. American cars are just poorly build. I drive for a living and wouldn't take an american car if it was free. Everything would break in no time. Toyota is the only car I would ever buy. These american car companies will go the way of TV factories in our life time.
3
In order for universal healthcare to work, all doctors, nurses etc have to accept a 50% pay cut. It’s simply unaffordable what they are charging for their time.
2
@ts109 honesty, where we are here is pretty good. The poor in the us have it better than most middle class in 90% of the world. If you change the system we have it could plunge the poor in the us to devastating poverty that the rest of the world has to deal with. Keep in mind, like 70% of china has to live on like $300 a year. The poor in the us have no idea what poverty is.
2
everything I have heard is the ev's from ford were a disaster and no one wants them. They hybrids are doing well, so maybe the plants can make those batteries. I have a feeling this plant will never even start producing cars and this is yet another 9 billion of tax payer dollars wasted.
2
Don’t forget bread and circuses. When people stop working they will need something to entertain themselves.
2
@marcnotarianni1889 I actually work for Amazon as an independent contractor, the pay is good and work is crazy easy. I am actually out doing deliveries now. I am trying to lose weight so I do as many shifts as I can.
2
@feydrautha012 what company would make anything without a profit motive. It’s all risk at that point. There is no upside.
2
i am sitting here waiting on an amazon package. Its an iphone case. Its 50% cheaper than going to walmart or bestbuy. I really don't want amazon to change. I just don't trust going to some random web page as well to buy anything.
2
You realize those employees are going to have to pay a ton of dues and the factory could shut down anyways.
2
I am not a fan of unions. You know they have to be looking at mexico. My understanding is the full time employees make $60 an hour considering benefits.
2
have fun paying substainally more for everything.
2
i have learned over time that poor is a way of life and rich is a also a way of life. No matter what you give poor people, they will always be poor. The same is true about rich people. Whatever benefits they get from the govt, they will always turn it into more money. Poor people waste their money on alcohol,, drugs and high milage KIA's.
2
I keep hearing this "livable wage" thing. Imagine if everyone made $35 plus an hour, the cost of everything would just go up and people would want $60 an hour.
2
@finalcut612 ubi doesn’t discourage labor participation? I remember when the govt was handing out checks during the pandemic and everyone had money but no one was working. They had $3000 bonuses at McDonald’s but no one would work there. I worked my ass off then and might pay my house off soon as a result.
2
@jeffreyherrera5069 I worked while everyone else got drunk every day and now I might be set for the rest of my life and can semi retire. I saw all these fools sitting back on their govt check.
2
@thepoifessor according to fdr, a livable wage in context is a wage just above starvation and bare subsistence. I feel we have met that.
2
if this dude only has $1200 to his name, he has clearly made terrible decisions in his life. Having a union will only protect people like that guy who don't appear to want to work. Also unions will do nothing but take money out of the truckers pockets, increase the prices of everything and hurt the economy.
2
unions destroy businesses. They drive businesses to other countries.
2
@lizziesuarez if these billionares want to buy my land and build skyscrapers on it, i will sell.
2
@TrepidDestiny didn’t they say like 40k jobs were created but that on average they paid like 19k a year?
2
I see massive layoffs in their future
2
yeah your numbers might be slightly off there.
1
@inund8 that just seems a little high given that the total amount of money in circulation is like 21 trillion. It seems unlikely that almost half of that is being used to avoid taxes.
1
@ everyone is greedy on some level. It’s almost the natural state of man.
1
@ I really don’t think there is anything wrong with money. It’s existed forever in one form or another. It’s when people begin to obsess over it. Some people are furious that other people have more money than them. It ruins their lives and marriages. Just be happy with what you have.
1
@ still seems high. The amount of people the estate tax effects is very little. By the time most pass away they have already transferred most of their money
1
@Nazgul265 i think thats just a hard wire into us as humans to want more. The bible also says when it comes to money and stuff, 'For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. Matthew 25:29
1
@pierregravel-primeau702 the topic of tax evasion during the estate process. These people don't die every year. The point is how many wealthy people die every year, which is a few thousand by this reporting. I would assume nearly all of those who die have already transferred nearly all of their wealth to their spouse, family or charity. I just don't think there is a huge pile of money out there waiting to be taxed. The point of this reporting is that they should change the laws. Even if they did it wouldn't amount to much i think.
1
i cant wait to pay substantially more for inferior products and services, thanks unions!!!
1
@Alex-cq1zr I didn’t mention Russia or China. I am saying that’s that happens in a central planned economy. Low income folks think they are going to increase their quality of life but ultimately find desperate poverty. High income people just take the loss and move to another county that has opportunities. So you define communism.
1
@stryfetc1471 90% percent of millionaries were born into working class families and though hard work, luck and smarts got rich. Its hard for the people who have wealth envy to accept that. Most people who inherit wealth blow it in a year or two because they are stupid with money.
1
@joecalta3679 if unions helped companies in any way, they would embrace them. Unions skyrocket labor costs and drive down productivity. Productive employees leave because they have to work next to the guy who shows up drunk every day.
1
@ I am speaking generally. If an entrepreneur can make more money elsewhere they will. Then cities have to offer them massive tax incentives to come back, but by then it’s too late.
1
@ if they could make money using American labor they would.
1
@Carakav seems like everything from more perfect union is fake.
1
they are mad at the wrong people. They need to be mad at the people who have been blowing out spending making the US dollar near worthless.
1
I made $475 on Saturday alone this past week. There are so few drivers out there that I made a killing. The customer will just pay whatever
1
CPI is bogus
1
And yet the president of Harvard plagiarised her thesis. Hilarious.
1
@neuroticnation144 hate to break it to you,the rich are the only ones paying taxes in this county.
1
Exactly! Govt take over of all industries. It’s working so well in Venezuela. Don’t forget, politicians are lazy as the rest of us. Do you want trump or Biden in charge of all health care?? Nope.
1
so the company can't make money with union labor so its closing factories. Sounds typical for unions.
1
Man, if it’s this bad now, wait until universal healthcare kicks is. It will be like Canada where they just tell people to off themselves.
1
The way the govt is spending we will all be billionaires in a few years.
1
@Vector_Ze they do tax the rich. They essentially pay nearly all taxes. Imagine if they stopped working and move away. Economy collapses and people are eating each other in 6 months.
1
People will never understand that unions destroy companies. You might get paid well in the short term, but every day that goes by is one day closer to the plant moving to Mexico. Also, Rivian looses $40k per vehicle the sell. They can't make it much longer.
1
If you think healthcare is bad now; wait until it’s free.
1
@angelesqueda2008 believe me, those folks on the video’s aren’t doing much work anyways. There will always be people who want something for nothing.
1
Get to work so you can give me all those things for free.
1
@Praisethesunson you have bought into the lie that there is unlimited resources, housing etc. and that the rich are hoarding it all. My friend, once socialism comes to this county you will see starvation like you have never seen before. Farmers will destroy their equipment like they did in russia and watch every one stave because they govt will take their land.
1
@PWB69 Free internet, free food, free housing, free cars are a human right.
1
@ that’s impressive. How much of that do you think you will have to pay in taxes if you had to guess.
1
$30 an hour? Are you nuts?
1
@TheOG-GG The inflation numbers are bogus. The numbers are obviously higher by simply looking at the M2 money supply. Which if you look at it now, inflation is about to get worse as the money supply is increasing yet again. Their pay is a reflection to the value they bring to the market. I work for amazon as well. Its crazy easy work. These are low skilled, low wage jobs. In a free market, their pay should reflect the value they bring.
1
the minimum wage is 0 dollars. If your labor is worth less than 7.25 an hour, no one will hire you.
1
@ComradeRagdoll You must now know history very well. Communism and socialism are responsible for mass starvation. When all the smart people leave, everything falls apart.
1
the united states is already going bankrupt from providing healthcare, you want them to expand? We are going into debt at a rate of 10 billion a day now and its mostly due to medicare, medicaid, va benefits and social security. These are all failed programs. You are paying for them through inflation because the govt just prints the money to pay for them. You could raise the taxes to 100% for the top earners and it wouldn't dent this.
1
destroying the US dollar by taking on unsustainable debt to artificially prop up the economy seems to be the policy currently. Not sure if its a good one.
1
it sounds like they are understaffed and not able to keep up with the price changes that are occurring. I have the same problem in a local grocery store, Harris Teeter. I will now check with my app on my phone to make sure the price shown is accurate. Alot of the time, its not. This isn't just a dollar general thing, it happens all the time at walmart too.
1
what happens when the govt wastes all the money they took and the stock market collapses because there are no market makers. The largest investors in the stock market are public sector retirement plans. So, now teachers, police and utility workers now lose their pensions because you have wealth envy. Believe me, without folks like this, our entire way of life collapses.
1
I feel like most of these comments come from either Russia or China to try to stir division in the us.
1
these folks need to have a lease with their land lord. Everyone I have know in this arrangment has a month to month agreement with is insane. You have no leverage when the land lord wants to raise the rent. rent control is a terrible idea as well because then landlords will not be able to make a profit and therefore not able to maintain their properties and they will eventually turn into rubble.
1
because of the unions, GM and Ford make garbage cars.
1
@stephhdlg so benefits make up a ton of pay. This included health care, various insurance, time off, etc. I heard today what the actual cost is around $60 an hour and Tesla is $45 an hour.
1
you think these companies are stealing your money, wait until you join a union..
1
@ dues
1
I am pretty sure those doctor’s, nurses etc salaries are insanely high. If ever we become a single payer county welcome to a 50% pay cut.
1
@bartolomeothesatyr when the us nationalizes all healthcare, I am sure that won’t be a problem. All medical providers will be govt employees. They can make it illegal to practice medicine unless your a govt employee.
1
everyone wants more money because everyone else is getting more money. This is classic wage price spiral. We are headed to a dark depression if this crap doesn't end. One day, no one will buy US treasuries (already happening) and all the fake govt money will come to a quick end. It won't be long before everyone defaults on all their loans and then money will be essentially worthless at that point. All the unions in the world won't save you then.
1
i have stopped going to sit down restaurants because i don't want to tip the staff. Just make a restaurant like chipotle where I order something and walk up and get it myself.
1
so means test fuel?? Makes no sense.
1
Rent control only ensures that no one will invest in the community because there is no return on investment. The available rent pool dries up, people leave the city, buildings become dilapidated. Next they will make it illegal to turn down section 8. Total government take over of private property. This report is totally bogus. It is already back firing, read the recent wsj article, “Multifamily building permits in St. Paul have plummeted nearly 82% between November 2021 and January 2022 compared with the same period a year prior, according to data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.”
1
@ what needs to be stopped?
1
@ that makes no sense. There will always be poor. You tax the rich enough they will just leave and go to another county.
1
@ if you raise taxes on the rich they just stop working or leave. So who are you raising taxes on, middle class folks?
1
Want to starve to death? Communism.
1
Rent control is a violation of the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and reads as follows: “Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Essentially, the govt is taking land lords property to gain votes. Its essentially a bribe. Thousands of rent controlled apartments sit empty in NY because the owner would lose money renting them out and maintaining the property.
1
@aklemmer8936 well minimum wage will be like $20 an hour but rent will be like $1500-$2000 a month for a studio. The new middle class income will be like $100k a year. Average house around $500k. The numbers don’t matter, value does. There is no value in money when you hand it out.
1
after 7 years doesn't this stuff disappear anyways? I feel like they are buying debt that is about to expire worthless as though its some amazing thing. Plus, are the debtors really going into each and every one of these creditors credit report and showing the debt as cancelled? I highly doubt it.
1
and yet, we are going into debt at a rate of billions a day to pay for health care that people say isn't enough. Imagine when the US cant borrow this much anymore and has to enter into massive austerity.
1
more money will not solve homelessness. Its nearly 100% drug addiction. This will only increase the cost of housing as it will get factored into peoples rent. We need a better class of politician.
1
marijuana makes people stupid and lazy. Especially kids. Look at Baltimore schools. You have whole classes that can't read or complete math at a proficient level. I bet you do drug tests on those kids and they are all smoking pot at home. Also, now that high concentrations of weed are available its making people psychotic. I have seen it first hand, people become paranoid and delusional.
1
@Bleilock1 my only addiction is carbohydrates. I used to work at a detox center and worked in that field for 15 years. Everything the media and govt is saying are lies or uninformed. Pot does make people stupid and lazy and in some cases psychotic.
1
i looked it up, i pay about the same per KWH in NC and my bill is like $200. These folks must have their AC's set to low or have massive houses.
1
I don’t remember seeing any of these people protesting the govt printing 7 trillion dollars and just handing it out. This is why there is inflation, not corporations. Look up the m2 money supply and this explains why everything is more expensive. Both parties blasted money into the market.
1
@biboebbs624 true 14% vs us 10%.
1
@frankd.506 I am a 1099 worker. I have 6 different jobs and if they don’t pay enough I don’t show up.
1
@frankd.506 everyone’s situation is different.
1
every review of the 2000 election found that Bush won using loose and strict stands. Going on about 2000 is just flat out lies. The founders of this nation created a system that did end slavery, which had been in practice since the beginning of time. Taking lives of children who haven't been born yet is one of the greatest evils this world has ever seen and is far worse than many of the great crimes against humanity. The socialist underpinnings of the democratic party will only drive away businesses etc. Why start a business if you cant fire people, the govt takes all your profit, etc.
1
@pewp_tickalar agreed, but rising wages is a metric the fed uses to determine if rate hikes are necessary. Also rising wages also might indicate a wage price spiral.
1
@Feralfoundry well, you know what they say “in capitalist countries sometimes you have bread lines, in socialist countries sometimes you have bread.” I feel like if a janitor was able to be paid that much for a low skill job, everyone would be a janitor and not learn any skills. I am a perfect example, I had a high skill, high stress job that paid well, I found I could make as much in a low skill job during the pandemic and I quit. I am still in the low skill job. Meanwhile, they can’t fill my old job.
1
@robert2690 I am a stay home voter. These people are both fools.
1
Yeah but these public schools are garbage. People are just going to stop paying their taxes at some point because the govt is wasting their money.
1
taxing the rich at 70-90%?? are you out of your mind. Maybe for a very short period of time, but anyone knows the rich would just stop working at that point. Look up the laffer curve, as taxes go up, people stop working.
1
@ShinyNix86 Unions destroy industries. If my starbucks unionizes, i will just go next door to the non-union place or make it at home. The owners will lose their shirt on the investment and fire everyone.
1
@MrMarinus18 unions do help to keep wages up in other countries because labor is too expensive here, companies just ship jobs overseas and lay off everyone here. Good point.
1
@MrMarinus18 believe me, when things go bad here, and they will, I am am going to leave and let everyone starve here.
1
I am sure they will love getting laid off as well.
1
i have learned if you leave stuff in your amazon save for later cart, the price goes down at times.
1
@joso7228 I deliver for Amazon so he is giving me money I guess. It seems to work, I left this tool that cost like $126 and left it in my cart for a few weeks. It went down to $99 one day.
1
@@pleist0cenic why, they have the best price a lot of the time and widest selection. I actually work for Amazon doing deliveries. Pay is pretty good.
1
actually, they take much less. If you consider insurnace, the take rate for my trips was 12% for the past month. You have to factor in insurnace costs which are substantial. I have 15k life time trips and drive full time.
1
i feel like the dems are going to lose alot of votes because they cannot confront the pro-hamas members of their group. When you have people celebrating the murder of babies and rape of women like AOC etc., it makes it really hard to vote for them. How hard is it to say nazi's are bad. Vote them out of office. I don't like trump but the world was a safer place with him as president. It is a sad thing to say, but the democrats have been an absolute disaster on every front their entire time in office.
1
@vurpo7080 fact: we spend like a 1/3 of all federal money on health care and its mostly borrowed money from china. We already spend too much on health care, you want the govt to spend more money? If china stops lending money to us, we are really screwed. If you tax the rich any more, they will just stop working. Fact: they are already rich they don't need to work.
1
@Matty__niice the only people who like socialized medicine in socialist countries are people who are healthy. When you hear the horror stories you realize how terrible things can get.
1
@notaperson9831 so you are ok with the US borrowing like a trillion dollars a year from china so poor people can have health care? At some point, all taxes will just go to pay the interest on the debt.
1
@electric6877 Hospitals are already run by workers. Some of the workers happen to be paid more because they have leveraged the value of their labor on an open free market.
1
@NeonNights80 govt handouts usually are. The average Medicare recipient only pays for 3 years of benefits and the rest is a burden on the tax payers. Classic ponzi.
1
@RolopIsHere thanks for the info, what country might i ask?
1
@Aaron.Thomas so the current welfare system we offer in the us is sufficient to bankrupt us eventually. It’s like a trillion over what the treasury brings in. If the rich are taxed any more they will stop working and we are all screwed as they pay nearly all the taxes anyway. If the us goes bankrupt, like 100 million people will go without a check. It would be like lord of the flies at that point.
1
@e.1766 govt took in like 4 trillion last year and spent around 6 trillion. And half of the federal budget is healthcare spending. We need to take in 50% more taxes to even break even. So, I would totally be on board with raising taxes on every american by 50% of what they are already paying so we don't destroy our currency through inflation.
1
@ucnguyenvan8176 the point is there are thousands of people in China who are posting on American internet websites trying to cause division.
1
@ucnguyenvan8176 the govt is going into debt at a rate of 5 billion a day to pay for mostly social safety net items. Soon the interest payments on 32 trillion in debt will be around a trillion a year. The govt only takes in 4 trillion a year. It also spends 6 trillion. It’s only a matter of time. At this pace within a few years the US dollar will be worthless. Good luck with your food stamps then. There will massive starvation on a level the world hasn’t seen before. So, if the govt doesn’t cut its budget by 30% we are all doomed.
1
@WhatdidtheCountessdo russia and china do spend billions of dollars a year to influence american elections and view points. They know if we go full socialist or communist we will be crippled and our currency will be worthless.
1
@alexisbrown8545 seems like socialized medicine leads to rationing and ultimately euthanasia. they can't afford to treat people so they just kill them or get them to kill themselves. What's the point in healthcare if they just ask you to die if you want to use it.
1
Look up the laffer curve, After like 50% taxes, people stop working. Tax revenue goes down, social services get cut. People move out of cities or stave. They tried to confiscate land in russia in the communist revoluion. The farmers burned their tools and moved away and 10s of millions starved as a result.

@Attaxalotl They have tried taxing the rich over and over. They just stop working. If I was a millionaire, i would stop working too. Look up the laffer curve. As taxes go up, peoples output goes down. There is no incentive to work, only risk. This is why our govt is going into debt at a rate of 5 billion a day. You could tax the wealthy at 100% and it would't come close to paying for our social welfare state.

its funny, without wall street, these companies wouldn't exist or would have to substantially raise their rates. Companies like this use investors to raise capitol and pay employees with stock options. Without that, they would have to go to banks for money and pay interest. It would make everything about this company more expensive.

@rennoc6478 yes, put a bunch of people who have no idea how to run a business in charge. They tried that during the bolshevik revolution in farms. Needless to say, massive starvation. Some people are gifted and some people are hard working, regardless, these people need to be paid or they go somewhere else.

they would just move to another county. Look at china, every rich person is transferring their currency out to get anywhere but china. Thanks communism!

@monsterglacier good thing a lot of hard working, family oriented, mostly religious people are coming across the border to replace the people who are not willing or able to fix up their neighborhoods.

Actually the corporations are selling now because we are headed into a recession. If you have cash it would be a good time to buy.

We should definitely save the schools where 97% of high school graduates can't read.

this will never get built, there is no demand for rail. The unions will be an anchor on the nothing that will get built.

He does being up a good point. Your waitress making 40k a year has a very similar life to a millionare. Same phone,, same tv, same netflix. Clearly there are differences. But both tend to have a car, air conditioning etc. Go to some countries in africa, those kids are living and dying in dirt. Also, I made like $350 today from selling puts. Options can be an amazing thing.

Be careful, the economy is falling apart. They may just move to Mexico. They pay $10 an hour there for labor that is on par with the us if not better. They likely will deal with a lot less nonsense like lawsuits, etc

that wasnt your home, you were just renting a space that belonged to someone else. Good cause eviction protections increase the risks associated with renting and drives up the cost of rents. Good cause eviction will eliminate any investment in that community. It also takes away profits that can be used to maintain buildings. Inflation is caused by the rapid increase in the money supply, just look at the M2 Money Supply chart. Businesses have always been greedy, thats nothing new. A lot of those vacant apartments are rent-controlled. Land lords would lose money renting them out because it would cost them tens of thousands of dollars to bring it up to code and they can only rent them out for like $400-$500. It would cost land lords money to rent them out. People want the benefit of the high wages of a high cost of living area, but not the expenses of housing. They need to move to a low cost of living area like West Virginia.

I stopped watching tv years ago, these folks are like coal miners complaining that all the coal plants are shutting down.

I guess it is better than the hospital closing due to mismanagement.

@oneleggeddog this report is very misleading. Uber posts what the customer pays on every trip and what their take rate it. What they are not telling you is the cost of insurnace which is substantial.

To be a socialist, you must ignore history.

seriously, you cant afford to live in a town, just move. Thats how this country works. You don't like something, leave or build your own houses.
1
makes you wonder why anyone even bothers to start a company in the united states. someone always going to sue you.
1
even at $20 an hour, whats the point, it doesn't buy you anything. thats only like 40k a year. And health insurnace through a private company usually is pretty terrible, obama care is way better.

You mean the Gulf of America

so move. i couldnt affort to live up north so i moved to a city where i could afford to buy a house and live comfortably. You act like people cant afford a greyhound ticket.

For all the faults of a private health system it is light years past socialized medicine. How do I know? Well, Canada can’t afford to offer it and instead euthanasia is a better option. So, their health care is literally suicide.

@Spock_Rogers got cancer? Right this way, for all the taxes you have paid we offer a cheap and easy way to off yourself. Thanks socialized medicine!

talk to people who actually live until this nonsense, 18 month wait for a biopsy years wait for treatment. your better off just in a cash system at that point.
1
if you cap credit card interest rates at 10%, like 50% of people who use credit cards will no longer have access. I am all for it. People are so terrible with their finances. This will stop people from destroying themselves.

Tesla has no union and every time they start to organize, people magically get fired.

@WilliamWatrous r&d. manufacturing is not the issue.

@SharienGaming I don’t know the percentage but a ton of biotechs fund through the stock market.

so, the govt of PR was reckless and wasted alot of money, the population lives in desperate poverty, the govt offers tax incentives for rich people to move there. The rich people move there and create jobs. The poor people wish there were more jobs that paid better. Somehow this is a bad thing. If they ended the tax breaks, it would just be poor people not being able to support themselves again. PR has a huge drug problem because of where its located. Taking money from the rich isnt going to change anything.

@frankd.506 virtually all the recalls are over the air. WiFi

@frankd.506 the entire company of Tesla is set up to avoid unions. Unions destroy everything they touch.

i know right, with benefits these workers make 100k a year and they want $300k s year. Don't be surprised when your jobs go to mexico.

@anthonycekic4509 well look at China, county is about to collapse because of incompetence in the govt. half the county is in desperate poverty. Thanks to the ccp 80% of the ground water is toxic.

This report is very misleading. I have 15k trips as a rideshare driver. Uber posts at the bottom in the trip details what their take rate is, for me its 12% for the past month. Where they are getting this 50-60% number is not accounting for commercial insurance payments that come out of each trip. They are substantial. On a recent trip the customer paid $11.92, I made $8.64, the insurnace cost was $1.44 and uber made $1.84 in a service fee. Uber is not making much money considering insurance. I feel they are going to have to charge at least 20% more to passengers and likely have to split that with drivers.
1
@factsoverfiction7826 so out of each fare there is a fee for insurance costs that goes to progressive. We do carry personal insurance but that doesn't cover commercial activities. This is why the fares are so high.

@kestononline i have thought about investing in Uber but something is fishy with this company. They don’t make any money. I think the executives are soaking the stock market while they make it seem like they are expanding. Uber is definitely going bankrupt it’s just a matter of when. I do a bunch of trips and look back and Uber lost money on the trip. It makes no sense. Like I said, the executives are boosting up their numbers to pump the stock and are doing to cash out when the company goes bust.

@FrancisWilly96 I got a permanent ban from Reddit for making fun of unions. No a plant, I just have a lot of kids, one of whom has autism so i need a job I can work at night so i can be there for his stuff during the day.

great now the wage-price spiral will be put on overdrive now. If you thought inflation was bad before, wait until this starts.

communism - where you own nothing and the govt employees hoard all the wealth.

@killermouse01 I have know of a few nurses making over 6 figures and a doctor who makes millions. The workers are making plenty.

most kids of rich people when they get the money waste it on drugs and women. i would donate any real wealth to charity if I were rich

Things aren't getting more expensive, your money is becoming less valuable. Eventually, the dollar will be worthless and we will have to return to the gold standard.

what they don't tell you is insurance costs for land lords is skyrocketing. Alot are getting out and selling condos to get out of the rental business as a result.

I hope Amazon closes this plant.

I don’t see how a group of people gathering together to advance their interests with the intent of protecting this county from Marxism could be terrifying. What’s terrifying is when countries reject religion and begin to worship climate, govt etc. Human atrocities are only the beginning.
