Don’t Dead

Open Inside

Did your mom teach you? Because she’s really talented.

How is he doing that with his mouth?

Actually, it depends on the state/city. There is no federal sales tax; all sales taxes are determined at the state and municipal level and are only charged at the final point of sale. Some states or cities allow for limited versions of what you’re talking about; Washington State rebates sales taxes for Oregon residents.

However, why isn’t this typical across all states? It turns out that taxes tourists is generally more popular than taxing residents. This is especially true if the tax is enacted by referendum. For instance, a lot of stadiums are publicly funded via hotel room and rental car taxes.

In the context of “what did the military action physically do?” it is important to recognize the difference between direct action and additional effects caused by the reaction from the affected government.

The attack on Venezuela was orders of magnitude less than the attack/war with Iran. Yet, Venezuela gave up financial control of its oil supply while Iran might be getting unprecedented control over a strategic waterway. If a government is going to resist American imperialism, it needs both the means and the will to resist. Iran has it, Venezuela didn’t have it, and early indications seem like Cuba is more like Venezuela than Iran.

Control of the gold and oil wealth was given by the remaining government and its release wasn’t enough to topple the Venezuelan government.

I don’t want the USA to invade Cuba, but I don’t think that Cuba could credibly resist an occupation.

Cuba is isolated from any ally who could offer military supplies, including drones. It is also fairly close to the US mainland, allowing for easy supply from the US.

What I expect would happen is that the US would force some minor restoration of capital to pre-revolution owners and install a government filled with a mix of government collaborators and Cuban-Americans with a mandate to transform the Cuban economy.

Unless the new government is wildly incompetent and corrupt, I expect that there would be enough stateside support to ensure that the new government is successful for the first few years. Keeping enough collaborators, which is something likely to happen with Trump, would likely prevent the whole government from engaging in an organized resistance. The likely dropping off the embargo will also allow an increase in economic conditions on the island, muting resistance of the rest of the citizenry.

Yeah. The USA engaged in one raid to take the current head of state but left the rest of the country mostly intact.

I’ve heard some companies still post to monster.com

Yeah. I feel like Japan has the best solution, which is to use specialty incineration plants with massive outlet filters to scrub the exhaust of toxic chemicals.

A lot of conspiracy discussion websites were manipulated in a way to get Donald Trump elected president.

For physical labor no one wants to do, you can finesse your response to be less “not my job” and more “I have other tasks I need to do now as part of my job”. It may sound similar, but one is making it so that you are determining what is and isn’t your responsibility and the other is pushing that decision on someone else.

Someone else hired you to push people around. You can’t override your boss, so you need to focus on the work they give you and take the breaks you can on their time table. A nurse may have deserved status, but unless the chain of command runs through them, you got to follow the chain.

Still applies more to Trump than Biden or Harris, given Trump’s open corruption feeding into crony capitalism.

Like I’ve said before, it feels like the term is being changed because the argument behind how I’m using it is hard to refuse, so the choice is to try to redefine the word rather than discuss the argument.

No. It means picking the person who will accelerate into whatever calamity which will cause a collapse.

I feel like there is a lot of revisionism of the definition because the definition is inconvenient to the opposing argument.

An accelerationist is picking someone who will collapse the empire due to incompetence and destroying American institutions. Between Trump and Harris, I don’t see Harris causing a collapse of American institutions like Trump.

Also, in regards to Iran, Trump has been far more antagonistic than Biden and Democrats in general were. The Biden administration at least needed a false flag attack to support Israel and a lot of the opposition came from Democrats. Trump got rid of Obama’s multilateral nuclear treaty and has participated in Israeli attacks where Israel was the aggressor.

Next time you want to say “that’s not my job”, change what you’re saying to “I don’t have the authority to do what you’re asking and you have more authority in asking the admins to do it than I do”.

That way, you’re not communicating that you won’t help, but that you can’t help. It also comes off that you’re trying to help with the situation rather that being a road block.

No. Wanting Trump to win is accelerationist because he’s going to cause the empire to fall faster due to incompetence.

You aren’t angry at Democrats for war crimes, you’re angry at them because they are better at governing.

Ahh, so you’re an accelerationist.

I don’t think Harris would have bombed Iran.

But hey, it is better to do something that feels good than something which affects change, right?
