A counter-argument to what? That if you take 90% of someone’s wealth that has $10,000,000 they’re still a millionaire? Yeah, they’d still be a millionaire. I didn’t bring up federal tax policy but since you did, I’ll point out that what you

I’m glad that that my state isn’t run that way. Your assumptions about consumption taxes across income brackets not scaling is factually inaccurate. If sales tax is fundamentally a tax on the poor, then so is an income tax. Florida is one o

Florida state sales taxes aren’t a VAT, and Florida is consistently in the top 5 for lowest taxed states in the country.

It's true that the order only impacts state highways. It removes approximately 700 license plate readers and then also leaves thousands still up locally. However, in my county, the Sheriffs dept is actually taking them down voluntarily

Florida has permit-less, constitutional open-carry. Not sure what more you could ask for from a 2A perspective.

by k33n 13d ago
Yes, it really is. Florida is a cultural punching bag, and we take that in stride too. We have a balanced budget, no state income tax, and no flock cameras. We are close to abolishing property taxes as well. Our natural disaster response is

by k33n 13d ago
Nope. Florida simply led the way and calmly banned Flock cameras from the entire state. Every other state that cares about individual liberty should follow suit.

In Florida, we just talked to our reps and got them banned from the entire state. It was easy and didn’t require protests at all.

Yes, pretending is what you’re doing.

Whatever behavior you’re pretending is engaged in by the right certainly isn’t happening on this website. Leftism requires censorship to function. These mods know exactly what they’re doing.

Well your team never fails to flag my comments when I am espousing a viewpoint that goes against an established community view, such as manic, unhinged hatred of America’s current leadership, or if I’m critical of Europe’s ability to ship a

Florida already banned them from the state entirely.

You might be back down to zero progress and if that’s true you have my genuine sympathy. I look around and all I see is great progress everywhere. I don’t care much about social politics though. People being mad at each other about whatever

It's completely genuine, and it's obvious that I was referring to the basic meaning of the word the entire time to even a casual observer. Ascribing malice seems a bit irrational to me.

You and that other guy made good points from a constitutional law standpoint, don’t misunderstand my disagreement for dismissal of any kind. A legal term of art is often a bit different than the basic word itself. From a legal term of art p

This is a fine debate tactic — dumping a load of text without the proper context. But I’m not debating here. I’m plainly stating the fact that US states are not sovereign entities. In practical terms, there is no such thing as a semi-sovere

by k33n 24d ago
No, US States are not sovereign entities. They have no ability to conduct independent international diplomacy. They do not have independent militaries, and they have no right to secede. The supremacy clause (article 7) makes it clear that s

American States are not sovereign entities. We fought an entire war over that.

Anyone can request their birth certificate in the jurisdiction of recording. There is absolutely no mechanism by which a request for that documentation could be refused because of someone’s race or a grudge.

If you want to have the peanut gallery conversation, then you’re more than welcome to have it. It’s just not interesting. Leverage is all that matters here.

I believe that is the rational default assumption, yes. Presumably there is some known list of books that they purchased and ran through these scanning machines. If there are true literary treasures that are genuinely hard to get access to

by k33n 1mo ago
Why would that be a reasonable assumption? This is so blown out of proportion. The imagery invoked by the narrative is one of huge corporations destroying the final copies of literary treasures. That's just not happening.

The word “victim” is honestly pretty funny in this context. Nothing really happened to anyone.
