Well, I can understand that.
Actually I tend to get ebay and other sales sites selling things I already bought.
But it’s better than fake casinos and buy wives from Nepal.
But I have all tracking on, and cross tracking. So it’s probably a larger platform.
I also use a targeted item blocker. If a specific ad bugs me I “zap” it and never see it again.
Also Works great for never loading pointless bling like “recommendations” and “top picks” at sites like IMDB and Amazon.
Click the icon, line up the field, and click.
Gone. Forever.
I’ve actually managed to turn IMDB back into something close to the old design from the early 2000s by blocking all the fancy crap.
Most ad hosts will load a new ad if one doesn’t display correctly. So I can knock out crap of zero interest to use and not see them again.
Every few days something somewhere peaks my interest and the site gets a bit of extra cash for my looking.
Doing my part to keep the web free, I think.
Take a look at UBO and 1blocker. They are both extremely open to customisation for the more experienced users.
In both cases I have all the basic blockers
And filters off, but set the manual blocking to return a 500 error on denial so I get a new advert.
A computer shop divulging private information from a client's computer
Well, it wasn’t a client’s computer. Not anymore, it was a client’s data. semantics!
makes them something of a fucking scumbag doesn't it?
Yes. But… civilians didn’t complain about the pentagon papers, SonyGate, BankGate, or the CIA dumps, did they?!?
It's not as if there's anything illegal on there.
But there is alleged evidence of such dealings.
And you're not complaining about that, no. You're complaining he didn't go far enough.
My complaint is he went to a political operative, not a reliable public entity, to publish his findings.
Much like a he NYT published the Pentagon Papers.
I would have cloned the drive and made it public for the betterment of my country.
And I would have done a far better job at preservation.
If you're wondering why people like you get booted off social media, this is one reason. You're assholes.
I’ve never been booted off a platform. But I only use social media maybe once or twice a year to post a reply somewhere.
I tend to read/watch, not post.
I’ve never been booted out of a comment system either. I play by the rules of each site. I have no interest in trolling or testing limits.
All I said was if the information was real and I was in his position my choice would have been a far more realistic publication, not a use-internally operatives.
My interest isn’t one campaign or the other, it’s the betterment of my country overall.
You’re still making this political and looking at the whos.
Man recovers data from laptop abandoned at shop.
Man finds incriminating data.
Man sends data to somewhere
News company writes story.
Facebook blocks (relative links to the) story, explanation: hacked data policy.
As far as that goes… he does have his foot in the door.
Facebook implied in the policy reason that the source of the story was a hack. And therefore the story as a whole violated hack materials.
Doing so thus declaring the tech a hacker.
My initial comment back when stands, the problem is the primary media picture that hacker is a bad term.
The article links to the current case, not the first which i was discussing.
and I’m not sure the judge was correct.
As for the second case, right or wrong, the judge’s ruling teaks of politics, not case at hand.
My wonder is if this would have been different if it wasn’t Biden.
Bold of you to assume the story is 100% accurate without any credible proof to back up anything about the story, but you do you, son. I still have questions about it.
I shall. The Democrats made many bold assumptions about trump that the media ran with zero back-checking. Most of which turned out to be blatantly false.
But that’s not the comment at hand.
I’ve directly explained this to you before. I question it as well.
The point is that it’s still clearly possible.
Any person could use off-the-site tools to recover data. Quite easily.
Restoration is very different.
Every major windows email application stores data on your drive. Even if you have the default to download email turned off. Once you open it an email is downloaded. It’s called caching.
Most email apps on windows us binary lead XHTML or HTML file with binary data, stored as a source and directory pair; compressed in a zip file.
That zip file uses an eml or mht extension.
If an extension at all.
Recovering an email with free tools will usually dump the text from compressed file. Either in a windows code page or uc4 header text file.
The header and footer of an email, (the to/from etc data) are not coded as text/html and show up a “garbage” in the recovered file.
So possible. if the emails are real then the cause of loss of meta is inexperience.
Or
Assuming he went to the cache file and ran them through a viewer he’d again find zip files, dump the files to uncompressed data, and, say, open the eml/mht file in notepad? Again a message and garbage at the top and bottom.
So we have
A) poor recovery
B) bad extraction
C) fraud
When 2:3 causes are not sinister then I’ll give the benefit of the doubt up front.
The longer we wait the less I believe the story. But I haven’t reached that tipping point yet.
No, it didn’t. It removed a link to the article. The article was still on the Post website
Ohkay, don’t be facetious. That’s exactly what I meant.
No one,
And I’m it discussing information, misinformation, or disinformation. In not discussing what twitter’s thought process was. For the purpose of my post it doesn’t matter if it belonged to the pope or Satan.
The laptop belonged to the repair man, more accurately to the shop.
You brought up “ Hunter Biden” which has nothing to do with my questioning post.
Your opinion or the court’s ruling—which one do you think matters more?
To me, mine.
But in reality:
The court ignores that the man will likely have lost business now that Twitter, a god in the eyes of many stupid social shites, has declared him a hacker.
—question—
Would you trust your computer there?
That fact will probably do more damage than Twitter saying “a news article contained hacked materials”
Politics again. If it wasn’t hunter Biden or any other piece of crap politician, celebrity etc, it was James I Drink Beer Jones’s laptop info…?
read the actual ruling itself
Link please, and I shall. I haven’t done so.
I’ve said before his logic was questionable.
Assuming, and I DO, the story was accurate, it’s Biden’s laptop…? I would have gone to Fox News with it, not Trump’s buddy.
I would have posted it to every site that would host it. Full, complete, and unredacted.
I would have sent it to wikileaks, the pirate bay, openftp, the internet archive.
His choice… is questionable.
But, Twitter declared the info “hacked”. The information was not. In doing so, the declaration, I would think it’s directly damaging to his business.
Given it’s one in which trust is implied.
So sure, I believe he went looking for his moment of fame. Rather than do the right thing.
But that should be besides the point, as should be whoever the prior owner was.
Do, remember, I was against his lawsuit the first time initially. I posted as much about the term, hacker, being accurate.
I have come to find that the term has a non-tech stereotype attached to it that is far more widely held than I previous thought.
This is a concern on many on the right and in the centre of what could happen if the government enjoys lockdown living too much.
It’s not a long move from where we are (and were) to Australia.
Especially since the biggest advocates for restrictions break their own restrictions time and time again, and again, and again, ad nausea.
Rules for the, not for me.
I’m in strong support of a vaccination passport. And ‘papers please’.
Get vaxed or stay home. An no, I don’t care about the liberties of a few thousand people who can’t get vaxed out of 330 million plus.
I still wonder: the fact is twitter removed the article for “hacked materials” even if the materials weren’t hacked.
They did, eventually, restore some linking.
But, the materials weren’t hacked. The abandoned property’s ownership converts to the possessor after a set amount of time, varying by state. Those in possession have no limitation on access.
Be it a laptop, an Sd card, or a safe.
No “hacked materials” were released and thus he, via the article, didn’t supply hacked materials.
I don’t understand how this was a suit about “public participation”.
Twitter indirectly accused the man of supplying “hacked materials”, a term with a public perception on the level of wikileaks and illegal access… etc.
Politics aside, it’s not hard to see such a connotation hurting a computer repair man.
Despite the fact that he didn’t help himself, I still think the first case has merit.
Wow. This is quite typical. A quick scan through the posts and you find the article discussion is lost to the topic of infuriation.
The Texas law is arse up. Forget the next door nonsense. If an airline sells you a ticket to fly out of Texas
And you get an abortion the airline just aided. If you buy gas on the way out of the state the station aided.
but the article isn’t about the law!
And at some point you need to wonder, are people so politically locked into one issue they can’t sort it from another.
That whole forest for the trees thing.
The problem today, that is Sind the mid twenty-teens, is the two sides both refuse to break down concerns.
Ignoring bad actors, which exist on both party platforms.
What is the real “Parler” issue.
What is the real abortion site issue. Etc.
See, from my perspective, we have two parties that ignore the party proper and focus on the outskirts as political fodder.
Mean vs median vs mode.
Political auction should be mode.
Toss out the extremes as what they are, extremes.
Let’s use vax discussion. Ignore the “vax evil Satan weapon that will make your clit grow and your balls shrivel” propel and the “vax is perfectly safe and there are zero side effects” people.
The Parler effect is simple. As is the Twitter effect.
We have one side that wants the issues up front and one side that wants the issues ignored.
The proper thing to do is give real statistics up front. On all sources up front, and then discuss.
Here we have a problematic site. If a host wanted to take the free speech road they could mandate a click through.
‘Use of this site as intended may violate federal privacy protection laws and you may be held liable’
Along with
‘Misuse of this site may violate federal computer crime laws and you may be held liable’
enter/get me outta here
The user is now purely responsible
Or you could just toss them.
The problem with “deleting is not censorship” is that it’s not a solid target.
We see this with the sec trafficking law. The NC-17/MA ratings and laws to make them more than voluntary.
How long did it take for sec trafficking to turn into porn, then sex, then nudity, then…
There are issues with the idea of poof-gone.
They tend to be ignored.
The SCOTUS made an error in the law surviving. But it won’t be long before the lawsuits start rolling in.
Privacy. Free travel and mobility. interstate commerce.
And scripting false reports quickly falls under harassment, assault, and DDOS levels.
This whole thing is a joke. But it’s not funny, and very serious!
That was my point up front. The republicans are taking a different but related methodology and turning it into a panic and that lessens the ability to concern ourselves with the people who are a problem vs those who teach a racial historical introspective of this country’s history
Because there are anti-white ideas out there as well. And those need to be stomped out just as much as any other racial system.
That pamphlet, is for teachers. Not the students. Btw.
And, once more, I’m not against finding racism and calling it out. I’m against the premise that the country is racist. Recognition of inequality in laws is a good thing. We can address that one by one.
Teaching that racism is the backbone of the country is just plain racist on its own.
And abs ok completely incorrect.
And while we focus on making a big campaign about what small pockets of white supremacy still exists in in this country we are ignoring a much bigger threat. One that is not racially divided.
Religion.
This country was founded by, more than anything or anyone else, the drive for religious freedom.
12 of the 14 colonial delegations accepted an agnostic declaration.
12 of the 13 states accepted an agnostic constitution.
A generic god was added for the sake of unity.
At the time it was an afterthought as 12:1 balance would keep religion out of government.
That balance is not there anymore.
Racism should be stomped on any time it is come across.
But we have a far larger issue today and it’s being ignored.
Racism will always exist. Not because any one group or class is racist but because nature is based on survival. Excluding rare cases, all fauna is prewired to believe and strive to be better than their neighbours.
We can teach and educate so as to keep that from turning into racism. And most people find that on their own.
Racism is simply a focused, learned, expansion of of the basic instinct to surpass.
And teaching children to recognise and ignore the faults of their parents, is the most productive way to simply breed the issue out of existence.
As such teaching a legitimate history of racism is a good thing. The younger the better.
The problem is the teaching itself at the moment, is both inaccurate and racist.
gender
noun
1 either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones.
The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female:
~Apple.
Doesn’t matter if it hasn’t been used in more than a century.
Yes, it does. You record where we were to understand where we are and guide to where we are going.
Gender is a spectrum, not a binary.
Gender is male or female (occasionally both and theoretically none).
Gender identity is a spectrum.
The former is biology, the later is sociology.
but that doesn’t mean they exist in practice…
No, and that’s a problem with the people who implement. And we should all call out when it happens.
look at the new Texas abortion law
That’s a bit of a mess.
But, the state has the right to implement regulation on medical procedures.
I don’t like it, but it istheir right.
The law doesn’t target women though, that’s a side effect of the stupid law.
No, that’s because of Black culture being its own thing.
But it goes counter to you idea that a black cast makes it a black movie.
As opposed to a black cast making a black movie.
There’s a difference between appropriation and adoption
Yes. But:
acting like it’s a brand new thing that the “superior” people invented.
Again, I see no evidence of that.
Culture should be shared, and embraced.
And I see nothing wrong with adoption of customs.
whatever white person made yoga famous in the U.S. for creating yoga.
Yoga came from the yogi of India. What’s your point. I don’t think any educated person thinks yoga is an American invention.
And I don’t think whatever “appropriation” of “black” culture is thought to be white culture.
If you’re thinking of something specific just say it.
I gave you an example of how that works.
You chose an asinine example.
You targeted a rich, white, male, fraternity.
One that has no business being recognised for anything.
But you call that whitewash.
The idea of “gaze” or “view” is that it’s harmful. There will always be racists. And they come from every racial background.
That this institution or that institution is racists does not equate to institutionalised racism in totality.
Then say “city”/“cities”.
So what term do we use for subu%%%n since that u word has some negative connotation somewhere.
I still don’t get how the hurricane is racial.
You intentionally ignored how poverty compounds upon itself so you can act like poor people don’t get poorer and they’re all just a few good days away from being part of the middle class.
That is not remotely what I was trying to communicate.
You still ignore the whole of the comment.
It’s not the issue of the poor, it’s the middle class constantly becoming poor.
The systems are set up in a way that doesn’t just keep people poor, but creates more poor people.
You have the privilege of apparently not worrying about whether you’re a few bad days away from living on the street.
Days, no. But a few bad months….
I’m sorry you are in that position. And I mean that. Scroll down and look at the follow up. Nobody should suffer in a country of our stature.
but fucks over poor people by taking more of the money they need in an acute and direct way is a good idea.
The minimum taxable income is way too low. We’re not disagreeing on that. Taxing someone making $15000 a year is just the kind of self replicating poor machine I’m against.
I have plenty of solutions. You just don’t like them.
For starters removing 100% of the federal tax code for individuals and setting a flat 10% tax.
$0-22000 0tax.
22000+ 10%.
$2000 deduction per family member or dependent in residence for head of household.
Universal SSI payment of $2000 per month. To every American citizen. Placing 100 percent of the legal population at or above the current “poverty” level.
Free universal education. Period. Any level. Free.
Just as a short start.
How to pay? Also quickly dealt with. Pull out of foreign countries. We need not maintain military around the world. We are not the world’s police force.
That alone saves nearly a trillion per year. So universal income just got paid for.
Reduce social program spending. We just handed every citizen $24,000 per year.
So we cut snap, wic, etc. they get more with universal income then the programs ever gave them.
Reset business taxes. By redoing the entire business system.
No more DBA and LLPs.
Under $500,000 you pay 10%. $500,001-$50,000,000 20%
$50,000,001-$999,999,999 35%
Above $1Bln 49%
Cut the majority of consistent foreign aid. We have no business helping others before we help ourselves.
And a new source of income: tax religious groups. Church, temple, etc. the constitution prohibits special consideration and we’ve violated the religion clause for too long.
Well on that any charitable organisation would have to have income caps for the board to qualify as a tax free charity. I’d set that at $100,000 per board member. Pay a penny more, pay your corporate taxes too.
And no tax exempt status for charities that send the majority of their focus overseas.
51% of good, money, or work, must be within the United States. To be tax exempt.
Oh, and no more closed congressional actions.
All congressional and federal judicial activities must be films and broadcast on a government station, under mandatory carry, and then. archived in a publicly accessible web site.
And there slight differences between relevant and responsive as well, despite those actually being interchangeable.
You really are a fucking idiot. And I don’t like using that word. But sometimes it’s all I’ve got.
Thanks for agreeing, if you had evidence your response would be a bit more adult-like than fu.
3/5ths? Where is that used in the last 100 years?
We won’t discuss the civil war, a main component of it accurately being slavery.
But all races are equal in the law today. So are both genders. As a society grows it casts off the old methods and progresses to a better existence. Or it dies.
To wit: Blackface
An activity practically fazed out after civil rights reform.
entirely of Black people is released, it’s a Black movie.
And the entirety (or near) of the cast promoting it as such is because of white people?
White people take Black culture and appropriate it for their own ends
Appropriate? Or adopt. And why must the culture belong to a single race? That comes off a racist to me.
ask yourself exactly how many people of color have won an Academy Award for Best Actor/Actress/Director or how many “Black movies” have won an Academy Award for Best Picture
Well, given that 99% of the films that won awards are absolutely crap trash…
It’s not really worth discussing at all. It’s rare for the academy to recognise good films in the first place.
Urban” is often racially coded language for “majority Black”,
Or, urban “ of or relating to cities and the people who live in them”~MRC
Urban, of or relating to a city. Ct suburban, rural.
Ask poor people in Louisiana if they feel any richer after Hurricane Ida passed through. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
first that has nothing to do with race. That was weather. The storm didn’t target on specific group.
Second, you intentionally ignore the whole of the comment.
“But the poor don’t get poorer. Rather the system as designed in most [areas] continues [to] chew away at the lower levels of the middle class, creating more poor.”
How do you want to fix that problem, you privileged asshole?
Well, that’s interesting since you have no clue where I am in life. Hint, I’m not privileged, not upper class, not even middle class.
I have plenty of solutions. You just don’t like them
There’s no denying I support full and complete explanation, I do such myself in moderation.
They want to (1) cause problems for the site and (2) collect information so that next time, they can exploit that knowledge to engage in further bad acts without getting caught.
That’s where moderation comes In.
If you can’t keep up hire more moderators.
Or stop moderation all together.
Or shut off commenting.
I wouldn’t even necessarily call them “bad actors”. Look at them as researchers finding faults in your rules.
Adjust your rules accordingly.
If you would please point to a single evidence-backed instance of any elementary, middle, or high school teaching Critical Race Theory.
I can’t. I haven’t found any that do. Most of what I’ve seen is the culturally relevant teaching. Full of problem limbo noted above
Until then: Critical Race Theory, as you (mis)understand it, is only taught in higher education
I don’t mis- anything. I am not disagreeing with you.
Critical Race Theory teaches nothing of the sort.
I’m not discussing critical race theory.
society dominated by and crafted to reflect whiteness.
Other than nobody really has any way of showing how that is?
Urban life is very much urban life. Regardless of race. There’s Uber rich penthouse rats and dirt poor. And not much in between.
If racial issues exist at all it’s only part of a much larger problem in how urban systems are set up.
The rich definitely get richer.
But the poor don’t get poorer. Rather the system as designed in most Aurora continues the o chew away at the lower levels of the middle class, creating more poor.
In a system that punishes any level of success by dragging you back down, it’s difficult to escape that cycle.
There, more than any other issue, is the real problem
Well, republicans are using the wrong terms because supporters of CRT willing used the same the three letters.
What’s being pushed is “culturally relevant trenching”.
As I’ve pointed out elsewhere there is some good in it but so much of it is racist bull.
It’s entirely structured from the view of the worst off in the inner city, and paints the 98% as
Part of the top 1%. We are not.
It teaches racism is systemic, it is not.
It teaches white privilege, which is something for post-Ed level contemplation, not a 10 year old.
Who can’t understand nuance.
Ultimately telling kids whites are racists against all others is a good way to make anti white racists!
Parents and kids complaining about it are correct, in that children can find in it, easily, a cause for hate.
Lefties complain about “colour blindness” as a trigger or some sort of not-meaning-what-is-said thing.
Yet for the vast majority, colour blind is exactly what we all want. There is no hidden meaning to “colour blind” for most people. It’s simply that.

Be it a laptop, an Sd card, or a safe.
No “hacked materials” were released and thus he, via the article, didn’t supply hacked materials.
I don’t understand how this was a suit about “public participation”.
Twitter indirectly accused the man of supplying “hacked materials”, a term with a public perception on the level of wikileaks and illegal access… etc.
Politics aside, it’s not hard to see such a connotation hurting a computer repair man.
Despite the fact that he didn’t help himself, I still think the first case has merit.
Given the above text, where am I wrong on that?

Views vs reality
Wow. This is quite typical. A quick scan through the posts and you find the article discussion is lost to the topic of infuriation.
The Texas law is arse up. Forget the next door nonsense. If an airline sells you a ticket to fly out of Texas
And you get an abortion the airline just aided. If you buy gas on the way out of the state the station aided.
but the article isn’t about the law!
And at some point you need to wonder, are people so politically locked into one issue they can’t sort it from another.
That whole forest for the trees thing.
The problem today, that is Sind the mid twenty-teens, is the two sides both refuse to break down concerns.
Ignoring bad actors, which exist on both party platforms.
What is the real “Parler” issue.
What is the real abortion site issue. Etc.
See, from my perspective, we have two parties that ignore the party proper and focus on the outskirts as political fodder.
Mean vs median vs mode.
Political auction should be mode.
Toss out the extremes as what they are, extremes.
Let’s use vax discussion. Ignore the “vax evil Satan weapon that will make your clit grow and your balls shrivel” propel and the “vax is perfectly safe and there are zero side effects” people.
The Parler effect is simple. As is the Twitter effect.
We have one side that wants the issues up front and one side that wants the issues ignored.
The proper thing to do is give real statistics up front. On all sources up front, and then discuss.
Here we have a problematic site. If a host wanted to take the free speech road they could mandate a click through.
‘Use of this site as intended may violate federal privacy protection laws and you may be held liable’
Along with
‘Misuse of this site may violate federal computer crime laws and you may be held liable’
The user is now purely responsible
Or you could just toss them.
The problem with “deleting is not censorship” is that it’s not a solid target.
We see this with the sec trafficking law. The NC-17/MA ratings and laws to make them more than voluntary.
How long did it take for sec trafficking to turn into porn, then sex, then nudity, then…
There are issues with the idea of poof-gone.
They tend to be ignored.
The SCOTUS made an error in the law surviving. But it won’t be long before the lawsuits start rolling in.
Privacy. Free travel and mobility. interstate commerce.
And scripting false reports quickly falls under harassment, assault, and DDOS levels.
This whole thing is a joke. But it’s not funny, and very serious!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
That was my point up front. The republicans are taking a different but related methodology and turning it into a panic and that lessens the ability to concern ourselves with the people who are a problem vs those who teach a racial historical introspective of this country’s history
Because there are anti-white ideas out there as well. And those need to be stomped out just as much as any other racial system.
That pamphlet, is for teachers. Not the students. Btw.
And, once more, I’m not against finding racism and calling it out. I’m against the premise that the country is racist. Recognition of inequality in laws is a good thing. We can address that one by one.
Teaching that racism is the backbone of the country is just plain racist on its own.
And abs ok completely incorrect.
And while we focus on making a big campaign about what small pockets of white supremacy still exists in in this country we are ignoring a much bigger threat. One that is not racially divided.
Religion.
This country was founded by, more than anything or anyone else, the drive for religious freedom.
12 of the 14 colonial delegations accepted an agnostic declaration.
12 of the 13 states accepted an agnostic constitution.
A generic god was added for the sake of unity.
At the time it was an afterthought as 12:1 balance would keep religion out of government.
That balance is not there anymore.
Racism should be stomped on any time it is come across.
But we have a far larger issue today and it’s being ignored.
Racism will always exist. Not because any one group or class is racist but because nature is based on survival. Excluding rare cases, all fauna is prewired to believe and strive to be better than their neighbours.
We can teach and educate so as to keep that from turning into racism. And most people find that on their own.
Racism is simply a focused, learned, expansion of of the basic instinct to surpass.
And teaching children to recognise and ignore the faults of their parents, is the most productive way to simply breed the issue out of existence.
As such teaching a legitimate history of racism is a good thing. The younger the better.
The problem is the teaching itself at the moment, is both inaccurate and racist.

The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female:

Re:
Yes, it does. You record where we were to understand where we are and guide to where we are going.
Gender is male or female (occasionally both and theoretically none).
Gender identity is a spectrum.
The former is biology, the later is sociology.
No, and that’s a problem with the people who implement. And we should all call out when it happens.
That’s a bit of a mess.
But, the state has the right to implement regulation on medical procedures.
I don’t like it, but it istheir right.
The law doesn’t target women though, that’s a side effect of the stupid law.
But it goes counter to you idea that a black cast makes it a black movie.
As opposed to a black cast making a black movie.
Yes. But:
Again, I see no evidence of that.
Culture should be shared, and embraced.
And I see nothing wrong with adoption of customs.
Yoga came from the yogi of India. What’s your point. I don’t think any educated person thinks yoga is an American invention.
And I don’t think whatever “appropriation” of “black” culture is thought to be white culture.
If you’re thinking of something specific just say it.
You chose an asinine example.
You targeted a rich, white, male, fraternity.
One that has no business being recognised for anything.
But you call that whitewash.
The idea of “gaze” or “view” is that it’s harmful. There will always be racists. And they come from every racial background.
That this institution or that institution is racists does not equate to institutionalised racism in totality.
So what term do we use for subu%%%n since that u word has some negative connotation somewhere.
I still don’t get how the hurricane is racial.
That is not remotely what I was trying to communicate.
You still ignore the whole of the comment.
It’s not the issue of the poor, it’s the middle class constantly becoming poor.
The systems are set up in a way that doesn’t just keep people poor, but creates more poor people.
Days, no. But a few bad months….
I’m sorry you are in that position. And I mean that. Scroll down and look at the follow up. Nobody should suffer in a country of our stature.
The minimum taxable income is way too low. We’re not disagreeing on that. Taxing someone making $15000 a year is just the kind of self replicating poor machine I’m against.

Re: Re:
I have plenty of solutions. You just don’t like them.
For starters removing 100% of the federal tax code for individuals and setting a flat 10% tax.
$0-22000 0tax.
22000+ 10%.
$2000 deduction per family member or dependent in residence for head of household.
Universal SSI payment of $2000 per month. To every American citizen. Placing 100 percent of the legal population at or above the current “poverty” level.
Free universal education. Period. Any level. Free.
Just as a short start.
How to pay? Also quickly dealt with. Pull out of foreign countries. We need not maintain military around the world. We are not the world’s police force.
That alone saves nearly a trillion per year. So universal income just got paid for.
Reduce social program spending. We just handed every citizen $24,000 per year.
So we cut snap, wic, etc. they get more with universal income then the programs ever gave them.
Reset business taxes. By redoing the entire business system.
No more DBA and LLPs.
Under $500,000 you pay 10%. $500,001-$50,000,000 20%
$50,000,001-$999,999,999 35%
Above $1Bln 49%
Cut the majority of consistent foreign aid. We have no business helping others before we help ourselves.
And a new source of income: tax religious groups. Church, temple, etc. the constitution prohibits special consideration and we’ve violated the religion clause for too long.
Well on that any charitable organisation would have to have income caps for the board to qualify as a tax free charity. I’d set that at $100,000 per board member. Pay a penny more, pay your corporate taxes too.
And no tax exempt status for charities that send the majority of their focus overseas.
51% of good, money, or work, must be within the United States. To be tax exempt.
Oh, and no more closed congressional actions.
All congressional and federal judicial activities must be films and broadcast on a government station, under mandatory carry, and then. archived in a publicly accessible web site.

We won’t discuss the civil war, a main component of it accurately being slavery.
But all races are equal in the law today. So are both genders. As a society grows it casts off the old methods and progresses to a better existence. Or it dies.
An activity practically fazed out after civil rights reform.
And the entirety (or near) of the cast promoting it as such is because of white people?
Appropriate? Or adopt. And why must the culture belong to a single race? That comes off a racist to me.
Well, given that 99% of the films that won awards are absolutely crap trash…
It’s not really worth discussing at all. It’s rare for the academy to recognise good films in the first place.

Urban life is very much urban life. Regardless of race. There’s Uber rich penthouse rats and dirt poor. And not much in between.

The rich definitely get richer.
But the poor don’t get poorer. Rather the system as designed in most Aurora continues the o chew away at the lower levels of the middle class, creating more poor.

Re: Re:
Well, republicans are using the wrong terms because supporters of CRT willing used the same the three letters.
What’s being pushed is “culturally relevant trenching”.
As I’ve pointed out elsewhere there is some good in it but so much of it is racist bull.
It’s entirely structured from the view of the worst off in the inner city, and paints the 98% as
Part of the top 1%. We are not.
It teaches racism is systemic, it is not.
It teaches white privilege, which is something for post-Ed level contemplation, not a 10 year old.
Who can’t understand nuance.
Ultimately telling kids whites are racists against all others is a good way to make anti white racists!
Parents and kids complaining about it are correct, in that children can find in it, easily, a cause for hate.
Lefties complain about “colour blindness” as a trigger or some sort of not-meaning-what-is-said thing.
Yet for the vast majority, colour blind is exactly what we all want. There is no hidden meaning to “colour blind” for most people. It’s simply that.
We should be teaching equality. True equality.
