Bye , to asklemmy in FOSS programmers, what do you think of horrible people using your software?

I actually never thought about it until now. I hope it evens out since people who I like can use it too, and I like far more people than I dislike.

I don’t like it when underprivileged people get the short end of the stick. It sucks.

But trains are awesome, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to create the infrastructure we desperately need without some people being inconvenienced.

They’re fixed rates, maybe that’s a good idea!

lol how tight would it be if I could buy my own mortgages off of the bank for a discount

It mentions that the right wants to limit immigration in response, but is that a non sequitor? Like the article doesn’t say anything about the crime being done by immigrants or their descendants. Like is that true? Who knows, the article doesn’t address it.

Bye , to lemmyshitpost in Hello lovelies!!!

What’s wrong with potato salad?

Bye , to memes in *insert "bomb them" sound effect*

Exactly.

If gas cost $100 per gallon, cities would HAVE to build trolleys or subways. Which is my dream. I just want trains

Based

Imagine how much better the world would be if gas cost $100 per gallon

Bye , to news in The United States will need 7 million migrants to cover old age support programs for baby boomers

No that’s why I clarified foreign spending instead of domestic

Bye , to news in The United States will need 7 million migrants to cover old age support programs for baby boomers

How about a wealth tax for people with over $10 million dollars of assets

How about tripling the size of the IRS (or more) so that the government actually gets what it’s supposed to

How about cutting foreign defense spending

How about increasing the corporate tax rate even just a little bit

Or only paying social security to people who need it

Or getting rid of insanely wasteful farm subsidies

But yes, I think we actually agree, that people who come here need to be paid a fair wage. That was really my point. When people talk about immigration to fix labor shortages, they almost always mean minimum wage or thereabouts (or even lower like for farm workers).

Bye , to news in The United States will need 7 million migrants to cover old age support programs for baby boomers

Yes exactly, thank you.

Why do they need immigrants? There are people here now who need jobs, they can do it.

If I hear “immigrants will accept lower wages” one more fucking time I’m going to lose it, that’s just an intentional creation of a lower class, it’s feudalistic and coercive. Same thing with farm labor. Pay a reasonable amount and local people will do it.

Bye , to news in Trump floats eliminating U.S. income tax and replacing it with tariffs on imports

The truly rich would be fine. They don’t pay income tax, they live off of capital gains.

That’s just punishing people at the top of the working class. Doctors, lawyers, etc.

Bye , to news in Trump floats eliminating U.S. income tax and replacing it with tariffs on imports

Tax cuts for the rich are capital gains tax cuts and corporate tax cuts.

Income tax cuts don’t impact them, broadly.

Bye , to news in Trump floats eliminating U.S. income tax and replacing it with tariffs on imports

Someone explain to me how this would benefit the rich. The rich don’t pay income tax.
