Listen, Jim - how much do you realistically own in unrealized gains? It doesn't even matter to be honest - since you're shit posting on the Internet, I wouldn't put your net worth much higher than $10-20 million - and that's me being an absolute philanthropist, in terms of how much "benefit of the doubt" I'm willing to afford an Internet shit poster.

Even if you were somehow blessed to have more than that - you still wouldn't qualify as one who needs to pay this kind of wealth tax.

Where'd you get the idea that it would "tax all unrealized gains"?

Is that why the far right made such a stink about genital inspections and bathrooms?

No, I think I'm far enough on the left to be aware of capitalist propaganda. In all fairness to you, my statement did not treat the subject with the appropriate nuance the subject should require.

The DDR was socialist. However, it was state socialism, which in my opinion is not ideal and not something we should strive to replicate. Yes, the means of production were "owned by the people," but the state tasks itself with protecting the people. And therein lies the problem with state socialism - the state is easily commandeered by a corrupt minority who then uses the governmental apparatus to run an authoritarian regime. Precisely what happened in the DDR and the USSR.

We should be able to recognize the imperfections in prior socialist attempts, without immediately calling it "capitalist NGO propaganda."

Even the DDR wasn't doing socialism. The public had to be all-in the idea, or they were discredited or arrested. It was an authoritarian autocracy acting in the name of socialism.

I agree with the sentiment - co-workers should not be knowledgeable of one's health requirements.

The problem is that there is no option to break from the race. Even if we are wheezy, we must run yet.

Lol. Nice erasure of the existence of McCarthyism.

Communism pwnd itself bruh - shit sucked so hard they didn't need Anti-Propaganda like:

Is This Tomorrow? America under communism!!

Shit was so bad, that the US didn't need to run any covert operations to subvert, discredit, arrest, jail, or even, allegedly, assassinate the prominent figures and leaders of progressive, socialist, and communist movements -- I mean, if they did, they certainly wouldn't have called it COINTELPRO. It'd be a dumb name anyway.

Pfft

Bruh - where'd anyone say there isn't a genocide happening in Ukraine?

Let me be clear: The question of Russia's genocide of Ukrainians is no less uncertain than Israel's genocide of Palestinians. If one is genocide, both are genocide.

You're acting like this is some big-brained, "checkmate atheists" point you're making, but it completely falls apart when you consider who is and isn't getting help.

The US is arming Ukraine in it's defense against genocide.

The US is arming Israel in the perpetration of genocide.

If the US was arming Russia instead of Ukraine, you could bet your ass that "the kids" would be "whining" about it just the same, and you'd still be calling it manufactured outrage.

On the other hand - this all begs the question - would the US be so readily aiding Ukraine if the population weren't white and culturally similar? What if the Palestinians were white and christian?

Bro probably has his w4 withholdings set to take minimal tax out, but his liabilities are higher - then cries at tax time when he owes money.

To be fair to people with legitimate celiac disease - many factories process multiple products and don't have to disinfect and sterilize their equipment between products. They may run wheat one day and rice the next. If they don't treat the equipment with a disinfectant certified to eliminate proteins, the rice may pick up gluten from the equipment.

If they state they are gluten free, it (should) mean that they are taking necessary steps to isolate or clean their lines.
