I don’t think a Thatcher type could win in the US (thankfully) - there are a ton of evangelicals who don’t believe in women having authority on the Republican side, even if that woman is a hateful cow who believes the same things they do.
Jokes on those people, now people live in vans on purpose (and I definitely can’t afford one).
Maybe she’s poisoning you just a tiny bit at a time. Kidding, but have you guys eaten a meal at home together without you feeling sick?
My mom and I have talked about that kind of thing and she knows to call me directly if someone ever tries to say something happened to me. She’s not stupid, but maybe just not growing up with people constantly trying to scam her at every turn hasn’t prepared her for the depths these assholes will sink to, and they’ve gotten so much more sophisticated.
I keep kind of hoping I get this one. I’m ace, so I definitely haven’t been watching porn of any kind, and my house has changed dramatically since the last time google came by, so it would just be entertaining. But then I see people on nextdoor all freaked out that “someone has pictures of their house,” and it makes me wish for a large, extremely targeted sinkhole to open up under all these scammers.
No thank you. The eggs would have to be enormous to develop into a human baby, and laying one of those every month would suck.
I doubt they’re taking it personally. A lot of people who very much do need help say the same thing you did, and they don’t know you. All they know is that you’re unhoused and refusing assistance.
I mean, I think we should care about what’s stolen - if someone steals a pack of wings from Walmart, no one’s going hungry over it (and if she managed to steal 11,000 cases from them, I’d be more impressed than anything). But her whole job is to make sure kids are fed and she knew she was taking food directly out of their mouths. That’s far worse to me.
I don’t know, she stole food meant for low income kids. That’s appallingly immoral in my book. For a lot of kids, the meals they get at (or in this case from) school are the only meals they may get, and I’m positive the pandemic didn’t improve that situation for a lot of people.
Guess I’m about to commit a bunch of hate crimes, then.
It’s $2350 to renounce, not $10k.
Yeah you didn’t remember correctly at all. The fee to renounce citizenship is ~$2300 for everyone. For the IRS piece, you file a final tax return the year you renounce citizenship, and they check to see if you’ve been compliant and paid everything you owe for the previous 5 years, but the exit tax only kicks in if you’re worth over $2 million, paid an average of a shitload of taxes (like more than twice the US median household income, so most people aren’t going to qualify) over the previous 5 years, or don’t certify that you’re in compliance. IF you have a lot of money, they treat it as though you’ve sold everything you own and calculate what that would be worth, deduct $821,000 (as of last year), then tax the rest of the amount they calculated. Then you’re done, unless you happen to have US income after that.
And I want whoever came up with this idea to spontaneously combust, but neither of us is going to get what we want.
They do, but there are enough conservatives who really hate women that I don’t think we’ll see a female Republican nominee for a long time. VP again, sure, but look at how a lot of people talked about Nikki Haley. She’s plenty authoritarian and a ton of them hated her.
