This is nothing, wait until the Trump tariffs kick in and everything gets more expensive.

The price at which it becomes a felony won't charge. You'd have to do it in organized groups like the raids in LA a number of years ago.

Is this from the extention of last tax cuts that are still active but set to expire unless renewed? Or a new proposal on top of that policy?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I don't think we know anything yet for real. I believe they included the costs of the tarrifs into everyday Americans taxes, because they are taxes after all... But Madam President changes the percent on tarrifs and to whom every time they talk, so unless someone actually writes something down, we'll never know anything concete. It is concrete that they are no longer a man though.

It looks like they aren't planning to institute the new changes until spring this year. Is that correct, or am I misreading the website?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago

Well, something is trickling down but for some reason it smells like piss.

I hope they starve. If I was running a soup kitchen I'd refuse to serve anyone who voted for this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In my area the soup kitchens are manned by, and frequented by almost exclusively Trump voters. It's deep red.

Even if we're just talking eggs, they're up about $1.50 per dozen in my area and Der Blöderfürher has only been in office three days.

Graph is from October 2024 this isn’t some new version that was just released either

If you look at "breakdown of tax propoals by category" note that it doesn't account for inflation, for example giving a reduction to everyone for tax cuts. But in the real world, that's not how it works. Tax cuts that are paid for with deficit spending like these are essentially zero-sum because the price of everything will have to increase to account for spending power. So in other words, it's even worse for everyone but the 1% than indicated.

Is there a source on this? Not that I don't believe it, I'm sure this is exactly what's going to happen, but if I bring it up in conversation saying "I saw it in a meme" will deflate the argument.
