I’ve heard it more than once around the poker table that the “people who make the jobs deserve a tax break!” and other brainwashed shit like that. If I ask why, they invariably start talking about “when they own their own business, they’ll want it that way,”

If you make your flush on the river you want to get paid. It’s called implied odds. Look it up.

Yes nice rounded back just like you always want for lifting. Great form dude!

I’m nowhere near as buff looking as that dude and I did 10x285 this morning. And skinny kids and little potato-shaped Asian guys crush me all the time.

Someone is skipping leg day.

[grue]

The fuck lmao. 225 deadlift is nothing a real deadlift drops the weight ever rep. This is please clap level.

[suzzer99]

Also his form is literally going to wreck his back. Maybe he’s trying to do a straight-leg deadlift?

[smrk4]

Yeah this is a lot closer to a stiff leg DL than a regular DL

[suzzer99]

You have to question the competence of someone who apparently never even tried to learn good DL form - but on top of that tweets out their terrible form and lifting not a lot of weight as some kind of brag/challenge.

Not that he had a chance anyway but holy crap.

The deadlifting tweet is a response to this tweet:

Dude’s a crossfitter, no doubt about it.

Dude’s a crossfitter, no doubt about it.

lol, maybe, but wouldn’t that have been the very first thing he told us about himself? (sorry to anyone here that does it, I find most of them insufferable. Yes, I’m a lazy fatass. I still don’t care about your crossfit)

[suzzer99]

He’s all upper body whatever he does. He should have stuck to the pull ups.

[Trolly]

Y’all just hatin’ on one of the most ripped presidential candidates of all time.

What do vegan crossfitters tell you about themselves first?

Warren’s message was that the superwealthy, those worth more than $50 million, would pay just pennies on the dollar — a 2 percent annual tax on assets — to fund the vast array of social programs she’s proposing, from universal child care to free college tuition. At her prompting, crowds recently have held up two fingers and chanted, “Two cents!” to express their support for the tax, and the programs it would pay for.

But there’s another way of looking at how this tax would impact the country’s wealthiest families: The 15 largest fortunes in country would be, on average, half their current size if the tax had been in place since 1982, according to new figures published by a pair of economists who helped Warren write her wealth tax proposal.

Instead of $97 billion, Microsoft founder Bill Gates would now have $36.4 billion, according to the figures. Rather than $44.9 billion, Walmart heiress Alice Walton would be sitting on $15 billion. Instead of $160 billion, Amazon founder (and Washington Post owner) Jeff Bezos would have $86.8 billion.

Some economists, seizing on such numbers, say Warren’s tax could do more than just make the wealthy uncomfortable: It could erase great fortunes.

“This is not some small little tax,” said Lawrence Summers, former treasury secretary in the Clinton administration and past Harvard University president. “If it was successfully enforced — and there are questions about whether it would be — this would be an extremely burdensome tax on wealth.”

that sound is me sharpening this extra guillotine blade i had lying around

@Riverman

These guys are positively SHOOK over the wealth tax, which…none of them would pay.

But a fair amount of the livelihood of investment professionals relies on having large pools of capital to manage. Family offices with tens of millions of dollars are hugely valuable the finance industry. If that money is redistributed to normal people those people are going to spend it, not give it back to the finance industry by buying retail mutual funds.

[boredsocial]

This is correct. They might not pay the wealth tax directly, but their business would suffer… just like mine has suffered because of these fucking tariffs. To say that I have zero sympathy would be a massive understatement.

@Riverman

The answer to how you gonna pay for it is literally “fuck off.”

I’m a fan of “you will motherfucker”.

Even if I wasn’t voting for her I would stroke out a check to Warren’s campaign after seeing that tweet. I’ll just double up this month instead.
