Now this is a very sobering anecdote- I am legitimately sorry you had to deal with this. Even more disgusting is that it was farmed out to a company that is incentivized to bully money out of people. Thanks for sharing.

I know the answer to this one: because we are taxed without actual representation. All the good buzzwords apply here- cash grab, wealth transfer, class warfare.

The cost is a drop in the bucket, the end result is anything but. The people on HN play checkers, our politicians and elite bankers are playing chess. Why do you need to double the auditing arm of an organization that already doesn't a

You don't lie on your tax returns, YET. There's an awful lot of money required to keep this beast going, and it's only getting worse. Our federal debt is 24tn, the M1 is fucking huge https://fred.stlouisfed.org&#x2

My state can handle all of that, I don't need a federal body that's 24tn in debt to steal even more of my money.

Can you expound a bit on the NFS infrastructure? I'm curious. If you can't, legally, nbd.

I fail to see how we couldn't continue to trade with the overreach of the federal government eliminated- why couldn't the midwest region still sell beef to the coastal regions? We've all been duped into believing we need a fe

The EU isn't balkanized, lol. It's just another lame attempt at federal overreach. Alas you are right, we're all tied together- until we're not :)

Aye- plus I don't know how we'd handle the military and keep established national boarders. It's mostly a pipe dream of mine. Realistically we'll just continue to limp along, a zombiefied husk of what our country was mea

That just means the rich elite of facebook could use their money to buy mid western meat for the people :D

Or, to take it a step further, when you understand the financial implications. I'm not saying the clinton foundation and an email server with SAPs was a clever way to sell state secrets while maintaining plausible deniability...but the

Fine by me- my state grows its own food (both meat and vegetables), exports plenty, and is sparsely populated. I reckon we'd be fine. True to the OP's point: I don't really care what happens to the east/west coasts. Thes

Amen. Now we just need to take the next logical step into balkanization and we can start making real progress. I have no right voting for federal candidates in my midwest region that can influence legislation that impacts new york, and vice

Yeah man, back before covid scared the living shit out of people like you I'm sure there was 'sureness'. So much 'sureness' that major investors in Fidelity were cutting huge chunks of one of the only MRNA companies

Absolutely. Anyone on that list has to be a huge piece of shit, and yes I believe the trump foundation continues to do the same shit. Liberalism and its "HAH BUT TRUMP, GOTCHYA" mentality is such poison- you're a cancer unto

Aye, you and I agree there- "letting the facts get in the way of the truth". Probably not, but not having them run for office means little when they can use the clinton foundation to continue to sway public and private sectors. Al
