  2. if the IRS accepted your tax return, then they should not be able to come after you later. Once the tax return is processed and accepted by the IRS, the statute of limitations should run out for them being able to go back in time.

  3. price fixing, definitely illegal.

  4. yup, don't sign. Never buy something or sign something when teh other party is pressuring you to do it.

  5. I propose a tax law, that commercial real estate that sits unused, for every month the owner doesn't rent it out or sell it off, the property taxes double, until they literally can't afford to own it. This, or something like this, would force them to offer reasonable prices and prevents greedy property owners from monopolizing properties. I even know of some small rural towns owned almost entirely by a single guy, and he extorts such high prices the town has struggled for decades when it should be thriving. He'll buy up and sit on Every property until someone finally pays his extortion pricing. Meanwhile these buildings sit empty all over town unused for years on end, while businesses struggle to find property to setup shop.

  8. ​ @OneCalledChuck  By accepting your tax return, the IRS is agreeing that you got it right, and they are signing that agreement. Now that they've accepted your return, they are on the hook for the mistakes they made. Murder is a strawman, because we're not discussing murder here. A better way for the IRS to do taxes would be to eliminate all loopholes and breaks. Charge all businesses and individuals on fixed but separate progressive tax brackets, and then each year come tax season send out letters to everyone stating what they owe or get in refund. If you agree, you sign it and send it back and it's done. If not, you then go through the tax process until both the IRS and you agree on the correct amount. Then it's done. This si of course a very simplified explanation of the idea, but there are other countries that have done things like this.

  9. I can second the "happy accidents" by just being out there and meeting people and getting opportunities simply due to being out there and exposing yourself to such potential opportunities. That has been the story of my life many times over.

  10. right to repair harmful to farmers? then why are farmers asking for it citing how harmful not being able to repair their own property is becoming to their livelihoods? Why is it only politicians, lobbyists, and the people selling the equipment claiming it's harmful when they clearly have a conflict of interest in the matter?

  11. that's a VERY serious issue people don't think about enough

  12.  @cliffshockley4406  Rules of American society ARE personal liberty. Always has been. you don't get to tell everyone else how to live their lives. Otherwise, we also can tell you how to live your life. Other people do not exist to keep you safe from death. death is inevitable.

  13. yup, and I just keep switching off google services entirely as they get worse and worse.

  14. "we haven't used it against you yet" But they have said they will illegally fork over that data to law enforcement to be used against you without a warrant, which is a constitutional violation and they are admitting they INTEND to use it against you.

  15.  @TopTierSports215  I'm a capitalist, and oppose anti-trust and anti-competitive behavior. Fair market competition is the only answer. I don't complain without reason. Nor do i surrender myself to the will of corporations.

  17. I like having teh option to take breaks, that the law protects that, but I still demand the right to choose. sometimes I am not in need of a break and sometimes taking a break will upset my flow. or the time-prescribed break doesn't fit with what I'm doing at the moment and break say 30min later would be more beneficial.

  18.  @Ryan-093  don't need music. I have my own, plus all the free music on youtube. Amazon Prime also has music and I've never once used it. "additional features", oh really? Like what? That's world salad for, "I'm trying to justify all this money I spent". "and we also don't have to worry about our adblock app getting blocked or degraded user experience for having adblock installed." yet here you are interested in the issue none the less. And most of us just change browsers, wait for an update, or go do something more productive with our time instead. Or view the content on a different platform altogether.

  19. give it to the feds. Interstate commerce is unconstitutional for states to engage in.

  20. don't forget to discuss how good intentions can have unintended consequences. Also, you can't help people who don't want to be helped, or who wont help themselves. Just keep that in mind. some homeless people do need a swift kick in the rear so to speak.

  21.  @mrblond750  they are trying though

  22.  @OneCalledChuck  Then how did they know it was in error when someone makes a mistake? What were they checking against? Believe it or not, the gov needs to be held accountable for their mistakes too. corporations only have the power they do because incompetent gov gives them that power. your blind faith in gov, and thinking everything the gov does is right and for good reason is disturbing.

  28. You cannot wait for a deer to cross the line. A deer in the ditch or edge of the road has to be assumed it will jump out in front of you at the last moment 100% of the time. If you see a deer, you must start slowing down because it Will bolt.

  29.  @jabrockobiden9434  yes, the communist answer. Own nothing and be happy.

  30. and this is why regulation should only apply to large corporations and not small businesses. make it easy to compete on teh small end, harder to compete on the higher end. this ensures constant competition and turnover, and gives consumers options.

  31. this is corporatism

  32. can someone explain what law allows private businesses to violate HIPPA?

  33.  @whynotsa6866  but long term, without engineers....no products, no profits.

  34.  @rpm10k.  under capitalism, we have options. It's not simply, "buy this one monopolized item and accept the tyrannical terms, or choose to own nothing instead." There are other ways, other options, other companies, other products, to choose from. And those of us unwilling to live in a self-manufactured police and surveillance state make choices to not be part of that reality. And if we REALLY don't like something, we can start a business offering alternatives.

  35.  @OneCalledChuck  your weirdo response is changing the subject and diverting to a tangent that was not being discussed.

  36. right to repair is freedom. inability to repair is essentially communism, where you don't own personal property.

  37. deer can't run backwards. when they panic, they always run forwards. To avoid hitting them, slow, and aim to drive where their butt was a moment ago, because they wont return to that spot. If the deer tries to turn, that adds some extra complexity. Always watch the ditches, as they tend to creep up to the road and hide in the background before bolting as you get close and they panic. A deer on the edge of a road is almost guaranteed to bolt, so any software must assume this is a 100% certainty that any deer will jump in front of you at the last moment and continue slowing the vehicle as it gets closer to ensure the speed matches the stopping distance available between the car and the deer.

  38. Wearing face masks in the military on missions overseas became an issue when working with locals. So we were told to start removing gear (face masks, gloves, sunglasses, headsets, even helmets at times...) when working with locals to deal with the "stormtrooper effect", and make us into human beings rather than mindless killing soldiers in the eyes of the locals. I imagine the police find much the same effect applies to them. There is a LOT of nonverbal communication that humans rely upon that is eliminated by the mask.

  39. good, we need to teach these crappy people and businesses a lesson.

  40. TV would give about 51min of run time per hour, with 9min of ads per hour (look at epsiode run times of your favorite TV shows). Youtube runs closer to 50% of of the total time as ads. I've tried watching a free 1hr tv show episode or movie on youtube "free with ads" will likely have over 30min of ads. I end up turning it off after the second set of ads. The ads aren't placed between scenes, but rather right in the middle of action sequences or critical dialogue. and the adds are typically less than 10min apart the WHOLE show/movie. Unwatchable.

  41. How many people's incomes did they just steal?

  42.  @OneCalledChuck  wow, running away slinging ad hominem attacks and insults, and making baseless accusations and and assumptions about a person. how civil of you.

  43.  @prague7706  probably a lack of compliance, and impossible to track down everyone, especially in remote areas, people without phones, people without service, not enough police to enforce it, etc

  44.  @SueDoeNimh  I get that, but by what legal authority can a private entity violate HIPPA? A mandate or edict does not trump a Law passed by Congress, nor does dear Fuhrer have lawmaking powers. He can choose not to enforce a law, as we've seen, but he cannot nullify a law either.

  45.  @TopTierSports215  no, it was a blatant over exaggeration. It's not my fault you take everything too seriously. Learn to lighten up. But nor was what I said out of line with reality for actual service prices for things like laptop screen repair and such.

  46.  @IndianaBonez42  I am not impeding anyone's health. You can get the vaccine and be protected. You can wear a mask if you like. You can stay home. you have lots of options. But you are forcing medical decisions upon others who are not threat to you. You are imposing your will on others. Your personal liberty Never allows this. Never in American history has personal liberty enabled you to force me to bend to your personal fears, beliefs, and desires. Your personal liberty does not include telling me what to do. Driving drunk is about Stopping an action. You are Forcing an action. Your don't know what personal liberty is or means.

  47. @Skunket "next time will you help to remove the government mandate who forces companies to build accessibility for people who need it? Stop supporting those companies who build special access for disabled people or those companies who give preference to them." You're confused. No one is forcing you or I to use the wheelchair ramp, or the elevator, etc. It gives people access and options, but doesn't force you personally to participate. Rules on businesses are not rules on individuals. A private individual has no obligation to make their house ADA accessible if they don't want to. But you're trying to compel individual action by force and coercion. You're trying to impose your beliefs, fears, and personal will on other individuals. ADA does not do that. that's the difference. It blows my mind how many low intelligence people there are out there that don't get this stuff.

  48.  @josir1994  "And you're part of this anti vax conspiracy cesspool" No, people are pro choice. Pro freedom. The vaccinated are protected, but still living in fear, why is that? Why do you fear unvaccinated people so much? Natural immunity is a thing. All a vaccine does is activate your natural immunity. But if a person was already exposed, they already have that immunity. You're just hateful and can't understand the nuanced difference between being pro choice and real anti-vaxxers. you live in fear and do/think only what you are told to think.

  49. @Skunket "I used to like him, but damn, he complains all the time about mandates, when actually those have been always in place for different reasons. But now he is just attracting antivaxers, his actions are supporting the antivax movement. Americans and their "freedom" fights are just sad now." most people are not anti-vax as you falsely claim. You're just not smart enough to listen to their legit concerns to understand what they are Really protesting. First off, why do you fear unvaccinated people so much? you're protected by your vaccines, masks, and ability to social distance or isolate yourself at will. You have many options for protecting yourself. We also have gotten very good at treating COVID in hospitals. Secondly, natural immunity is a thing, and many people have already had COVID and gained immunity that way. All a vaccine is is a drug or dead virus injected into your body to trigger that immune response, to give you natural immunity without having to go through high risk exposure. Then you body consumes and expels the vaccine from your body. So you are now no different form anyone with natural immunity. If they already have immunity, why do they need a vaccine? This is science, what you espouse is not. Thirdly, data is showing the vaccine is not working all that well anyways, yet even as vaccinated people are now becoming unprotected and still spreading the virus, they are given a free pass, which is unscientific and discriminatory. The vaccine wears off with time, and is less effective in fact than natural immunity from exposure. There is data that it works, and even exposed people might gain benefits, but why isn't that a person's choice? You're free do do as you like and get the vaccine, but you are not free to impose your will and beliefs onto others and compel them to do as you command. Freedom is everything. We are all going to die someday, some way, somehow. If a person is willing to risk their life, they have that freedom to do so. You do not get to save people from themselves if they don't want you to. They are at risk, not you. Everyone who is at risk can get the vaccine or has options. And everyone I've met are willing to accommodate those who are at risk but cannot get the vaccine for some reason, even if they wanted it. But if you start imposing your will on people, where does it stop? until soon there is no freedom left in the world. They'll use this as precedent to force more decisions on people against their will. That is why people are angry and refusing. They would have gotten it had it remain voluntary and people had simply been polite about it. But now since you seek to take people's freedoms from them and impose your will on them, you have made enemies, needlessly. This is your fault for supporting coercion and threats.
