is it a short-term tax increase on the poor? i was under the impression it's a middle class/upper class tax cut but a) not much for the poor who don't pay income tax and b) the middle class stuff expires while the upper class stuff doesn't

besides that, it also reduces or eliminates deductions that could possibly be used by the poor or middle class and creates or increases deductions that can only be used by Job Creators, which takes place immediately rather than 8 years from now

it's literally taking yet another big scoop of the nation's wealth and dumping it into a hole infested with bourgeois millipedes

we've known this since at least the bush tax cuts, at least in my incredibly shallow and rotted out memory banks

among other things, its a tax hike on people with kids, people with healthcare expenses, people with education expenses, and people who get other fringe benefits from their jobs

Is it worse if a robot instead of a human is used to deter the homeless from setting up camp outside places of business?

One such bot cop recently took over the outside of the San Francisco SPCA, an animal advocacy and pet adoption clinic in the city’s Mission district, to deter homeless people from hanging out there — causing some people to get very upset

I keep seeing this and it's so loving goofy. the robot doesn't seem meant to deter homelessness, it's meant to deter crime. it's just a rolling set of cameras. I don't see how it does anything to bother a person sleeping on the street.

It broadcasts an incredibly loud wailing noise for the sole purpose of driving off anyone spending more than 30 seconds there.

this is pretty much the exact scenario that calls for a massive tax hike on upper class/investment/inheritance income but we're doing the exact opposite

they literally have more money than they know what to do with and we're stealing it from sick kids so hedge funders and investors can have dick measuring contests about how much money they can set on fire
