This is only tangibly related to your comment, but even before you get the unemphatic part, the regressive taxes alone set rich people apart from poor people. If you make enough money have to pay taxes at the lowest bracket in the US it's 10% taxes with minimum $22k a year income. That is $2200 a year, which is a crazy amount for them to be able afford when someone in the highest tax bracket is paying 37% and it doesn't start until $578k for a single filing. That's about $214k in taxes with about $364k left over to be as empathetic as they want to be with it. It would take the person who is paying 10% in taxes 16.5 years just to make what the person who is making half a million a year makes AFTER TAXES!

It's very hard for either group to be empathetic to the other, but for vastly different reasons.

I am very bad at public math if anyone sees a glaring issue.

Thoughts and prayers. Did you not get yours?

I would love to be wrong, but it's too bad one of the injured or killed weren't connected to the governor. That seems to be the only time some people give a shit.

I think that is capitalism 101

The article says the people that brought the lawsuit are from California, where cannabis is already legal.

I saw this rat faced fuck at IAH back in October. Not a single person was trying to interact with him and he already had a state trooper escort with a wide buffer zone around him. He had that smarmy, stupid smile on that stupid dumb face of his. It ruined my whole day.

In the little blurb under the title it says 2002 instead of 2022 for when this happened

Thanks for the troubleshooting

I appreciate the troubleshooting. Unless it was a pre selected option I wouldn't have enabled that in any version.

Cunts are useful and provide warmth and depth. These people have none of those qualities.
