Italians rule. First Luigi, now these guys

People share photos and videos all the time on mastodon. What is the difference with pixelfed?

Take up endurance sports...

Starve yourself all week while training, do a 30k long run on the weekend, then eat 2 days worth of food in onr sitting.

lots of working class people are going to be hit with these capital gains taxes...

i am probably going to get hit by this tax increase and i'm not particularly wealthy. but i don't care either way, if i'm taxed, then i'm taxed

my point is that there are bigger fish to fry, rather than going after dentists or whatever moderately wealthy people.

people online seem to think that anyone with a portfolio of investments is basically on the same level as galen weston....

Second, if you’re making $1M on capital gains in a year, you’re not upper middle class or lower upper class - or whatever ‘they’re not that rich’ argument you intend.

they really aren't that rich in the grand scheme of things..... they're not buying off politicians, or sending armies of lobbyists to ottawa. they're not propping up our monopolies and leaving toxic tailing ponds with millions in cleanup costs

i get it if people are really struggling and a cardiac surgeon or small business owner looks like a big bad rich person who needs to be taxed. but westons, rogers, and irvings in this country are happy to sit and watch while we go after these small potato rich folk while leaving them the continue pillaging the country

These taxes also catch, probably as they are intended to, people making 10 million or 100 million

anyone that rich has really good accountants and asset hiding schemes. they're not paying taxes anyways.

yes, but then we will lose all our teeth, because dental care isn't covered under our "universal health care" system.... also, eyes and mental health are not covered.... just arbitrary parts of your body they decided aren't covered under health care.

(and before any pedantic canadians jump in, yes, i know we are rolling out dental coverage right now)

i agree that the rich need to be taxed, but i don't think taxing these rich people is what will solve most of our problems.... taxing a few thousand rich people who made $1M on stocks or whatever is a drop in the bucket compared to our real problems.

what are the real problems? billionaire oligarchs plundering our country. what are the exact steps to fix the problem? i'm not smart enough to figure it out. but we can start by ending corporate handouts, or things like oil companies sticking us with the cleanup bill when the leave town. fix price gouging on groceries and telecoms. i think actions like these are going to have a huge impact on the prosperity of working canadians versus an increase in a capital gains tax on the moderately rich.

i mean... trump sucks...

but if an entire industry relies on exploiting undocumented workers, then i'm not sure trump is the only bad guy here

lol... all our food is imported from the US and mexico (except a few seasonal fruits and potatoes in the summer)

Y chromosome is just a mutant X chromosome

Wait... All men are mutants?
