Agreed. I think that’s the first public apology I’ve read in ages that actually seems like a sincere statement.

Agree on their apology. And if they wanted to, they could spin this very quickly. Offer a beer discount to cyclists this weekend and the place would be packed.....

Bicyclist here. I thought the apology was refreshing in an age of half assed “we’re sorry if we offended anyone” B.S. that passes for sincere nowadays.

no it wont. theyre wanting to tax people worth over 50 million and making over 400k a year. that sure as shit isnt every american and isnt even close. capital gains need to be taxed the same as all other income. it shouldnt matter where it comes from income is income. poor people keep making excuses for the super rich…

You mean like the $1 Billion in assets, or $100 Million in capital gains in three consecutive years threshold that’s in the bill? Something like that? So this bill would only impact 700 people in the entire country and not come even remotely close to affecting any non-Musk/non-Bezos or their ilk?

This will fuck every American trying to save for their future.

all it does is show that the individual is so vastly out of step with society around them. 

I’m not saying it’s a good idea - but your examples don’t work.  The linked article specifically noted that principle residences (so, your house), and 401ks would be exempted.  

And what is that bad news? The linked article is pretty specific that principle residents and 401ks would be exempted.

Ugh - the concept of ‘other people’s money’ is so bloody tiresome.

There is absolutely no plan to tax the 401k of middle class Americans, full stop. The threshold for the tax is tens of millions of dollars, but thanks for the scare tactics.

First they came for the billionaires, and I said “hell yeah” because I wasn’t a billionaire.

You mean to tell me that this Pedoguy doesn’t want to pay taxes?

Irv Gordon’s Volvo P1800. Any other answer is factually and demonstrably incorrect.

The Jeep of Theseus.

They are absurdly reliable cars. We had a 2003 model in the family for 17 years, and the closest it ever came to breaking down was a dead battery. I sold it last year because I wanted something more modern with extra cargo capacity. It still ran like a champ though.

Mercedes W123, especially a diesel.

Depends on your definition of “indestructible”.
Broken handles/mirrors/headlights/bumpers? Fine. Windows smashed or won’t roll down? Yeah, you’ll get that.

I think Mid-2000s Toyotas had this weird magic where all of the problems of the car were somehow directed to the cassette deck and the corner of the bumper. Because those two areas are the ones which are ALWAYS screwed while the rest is flawless.
