Was that during COVID? I regularly eat Chipotle around the US and I’ve never encountered this requirement, I always order at the counter so it is fresh.

You’re already on hundreds of cameras by walking into any airport in the world. Do they need your consent to run facial recognition software on the security footage?

Did you read the article? The full title of the livestream was, “Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden If He Refuses To Leave?”

As far as I can tell, the title was clickbait and he did not encourage violence, but I would love to be corrected. Look, I hate defending this guy, I’m just doing this because I hate sensational headlines.

I hate Alex Jones but I don’t follow your logic. Can you be less ambiguous to help me out? What did Alex say? I can’t find a single article supporting what these commenters claim, not even this post’s article. It seems like everyone is making stuff up after reading the headline and not even clicking the link to read it.

I ask because the article says nothing about him encouraging others to do it. I was hoping someone would link or explain more.

Yeah and it seems obvious that they shouldn’t be driving vehicles where people are laying. This is the third person I’ve heard of being run over by police on a beach this summer.

Side question: Should’t it also be illegal for Hallie Biden to dispose of an illegal firearm by putting it in a trash can outside a grocery store for a random person to find? That seems like a very irresponsible way to handle a firearm and evidence.

Cultural smells are interesting. In Japan, they find the strong scents of perfume, cologne, and even shampoo that westerners wear to be intolerable and people at restaurants will discreetly ask to change tables to move away from those wearing it. They are more sensitive to fragrances there while Americans have fragrance in almost everything.

Of course, the most respectful thing to do when traveling is to just take a shower and wear a neutral deodorant so that you’re not giving off any unique smells.

This situation sure sounds like it blew up into a racist power trip though.

I agree it needs to be a highly progressive tax. I’m generalizing because we’re discussing international tax law and I don’t know the income cutoffs for different countries.

Double taxation is a real concern only if the inheritance tax affects very low income individuals. A family who shares a car or a struggling family restaurant might have a very difficult time if they are forced to pay an unexpected tax bill.

I’m specifically talking about very low income families since I am talking about the general pros and cons of applying an inheritance tax to all citizens since we are discussing why the inheritance tax might have been removed in Austria / German. I’m not familiar with international tax law to be more specific about income levels so I’m trying ro cover all bases.

If a poor family is sharing a car or a family restaurant, it could be very damaging to have to pay tax on these assets if they don’t have savings.

I understand that this doesn’t apply to families with large assets and I agree that an inheritance tax is generally a good thing when applied progressively.

Thank you for that information. The article is about a German / Austrian woman so I was summarizing the pros and cons of an inheritance tax which might apply to any country since I don’t know the specifics of their law or why they changed it it.

I think this viewpoint assumes that everyone lives independently. A lot of families function as units and they all live and work together. If you inherit post-tax income from a family member, then the money has been fairly taxed regardless of your viewpoint.

Why should you have to pay the government to inherit your late-parent’s car or business? What happens if you can’t afford to pay the tax?

For the low income families this can make or break a person’s way of life, for the 1% it is a way of hoarding the world’s wealth and maintain power.

For regular people, an inheritance tax is not great. For the ultra-wealthy it should be mandatory.

Arguments against an inheritance tax:

• Double taxation: Critics argue that inheritance taxes are a form of double taxation, since the assets being inherited have already been taxed once during the decedent’s lifetime.
• Hurts small businesses: Family-owned businesses can face hardship if they must be sold off to pay inheritance taxes.
• Discourages investment: Inheritance taxes can disincentivize people from saving and investing, as they know a portion of their wealth will go to the government.

Arguments for an inheritance tax:

• Reduces wealth inequality: Inheritance taxes help to redistribute wealth from the very wealthy to the rest of society, reducing income inequality.
• Prevents concentration of power: By limiting the ability of wealth to be passed on unchecked, inheritance taxes can help to prevent excessive concentration of economic and political power in the hands of a few families.
• Source of government revenue: Inheritance taxes can be a significant source of revenue for governments, which can be used to fund social programs and public goods.

That’s surprising that the black box overwrites itself after 2 hours of recording. This article linked to an article I missed about how the plane that had the door/panel fall off had the cockpit audio overwritten because it wasn’t collected in time.

Probably a bit of both? It says that women are having their first child at the age of 33.6, the oldest in the OECD. The older you have a child the more difficulty you will have so they also put money into fertility clinics. This means low fertility rates.

It’s not necessarily a health issue on a mass scale but an economic issue driving people to delay having children until they feel they can handle the responsibility. This causes low birth rates below 1.

Humans aren’t the only species on Earth. Mass extinction is bad for everyone living on this planet, mostly the other animals who suffer our destruction. I wish we could just live in equilibrium without killing off every species that isn’t worth farming.

Earth is currently experiencing a sixth mass extinction, according to scientists.
