It’s not just big vehicles that do that. For instance I wouldn’t call a supra a big vehicle but when they wake me up at 3 AM because they have to be louder than fire sirens I feel like that is compensating as well.
Nobody does work out of that truck, it has a bed cover and the wheels don’t look like they have any mud or dirt caked in the tread/wheels. It’s a little pavement princess that probably carries one person 75% of the time.
See that’s what gets me. You need a very specifically large load that is (in my experience) extremely rare. In the gas savings alone you could just rent a truck when you need to move gravel or large furniture and not scratch up your $90,000 truck.
Didn’t the bailouts return less money with inflation though? We can’t even give students less interest than inflation with student loans. If the tables were turned the banks wouldn’t have taken less than 5% interest.
So the act of commerce is ethical but the source of the commerce might not be? I feel like I’m being really obtuse here and I apologize but goods and services could be stolen or forced and rarely is legislation enough. But I can totally see two unknowing people engaging in trade at their free will for items they don’t know are stolen.
I feel so pessimistic about the world at times that I find materialism and ethics just don’t mix.
I think you’re making a discussion into a spit fight for the sake of feeling better about yourself. I ask because I want to understand and for no other reason.
The fluctuation in Simplified Chinese use makes me pretty suspect here. It was nearly cut in half in one month and suddenly 20% of Steam’s users that used Simplified Chinese just didn’t exist.
Honestly that big of a fluctuation in regional selection tells me none of the other data means anything.
The IRS can audit the ultra wealthy exclusively and it still wont really change how fucked taxes are in the US. The tax brackets are a fucking wreck, capital gains is a joke, and estate tax is basically non existent.
It’s like cheering for Biden for really sticking it to those rich folk when he’s just checking their couch for quarters.
That’s what I am saying, this is nothing and we shouldn’t be celebrating nothing. It’s not like they fixed the Trump admin’s tax changes, it’s not like they’re taxing the wealthy more.
To do more than nothing takes an act of Congress and they’re not doing anything, they’re doing nothing. This is the legal equivalent of 4th grade graduation ceremonies.
