This is so fascinating to me. There is only one way this plays out for countries that do this. And I'm not just talking about the Bitcoin part. Taxing unrealized gains on investments is a level of state robbery that we've never seen before. It will just drain people's accounts into non-existence.
It's not even robbery. It's just not sane. It signifies a total lack of economic and financial literacy.
I am neither maga nor anti maga. I am simply a pragmatist and it is dark right now in our choices as Americans (I realize I'm speaking to an international audience and I'm speaking as an American) have been kind of crazy for many years really.
I would say it has been dark for a while and that is why Trump was able to gain traction. If the Republicans hadn't consistently been putting up awful candidates who totally failed to represent their base's interests once elected for so long, Trump wouldn't have had a chance and, I believe, wouldn't have felt compelled to run in the first place.
Similar for Bernie but the DNC shut him down pretty quickly.
yet there are differences when humor is punching up or if humor is punching down.
No, funny is funny. Let's end this puritanical scolding. It's fucking ruined comedy.
