I can't feel a shred of sympathy for Pence. He was warned about all of this beforehand by these institutions and the business community and legal experts and he purposefully chose to go ahead with it all in spite of that to appease the religious fringe. gently caress him and I hope all these organizations decide to not return to Indiana as long as he's governor.

You leave the water running five times longer to wash your hands. The shower. You turn on the shower. There's no water. What is it? They have restricters in. You buy 'em with restricters. EPA. So what do you do? You stay in the shower for three times longer than you want to. There's no saving! And it's terrible. And people come over to our country and they say, 'What the hell's wrong with your showers? What's wrong with your water?'" ~ Donald Trump, in New Hampshire last month.

Honestly, so what? Let the bigots across the country spitefully flush their own money down the toilet. Memories Pizza isn't going to become a nationwide anti-gay pizza empire because of this. More than likely they'll just find some way to waste most of it and come around again in a few months begging for more cash using the same shtick.

Yeah, it's unfair and galling to watch assholes get rich off of crowdfunding just for being assholes, but sadly it's not a new concept. I have a feeling this is not going to end well for them, because sudden windfalls like this rarely do.

I had the same thought this morning and it tempered my anger a bit at this bullshit. Beck's people, who are behind this whole thing, have promised a financial advisor along with all the cash, presumably to make sure they don't blow it all at once, pay their taxes on it, that sort of stuff, but at the end of the day these people are still dumb, bitter, spiteful yokels and are going to blow it all in the dumbest way possible as so many so often do. It's not going to improve their lives, it's probably going to ruin them.

It's going to be glorious next year when they remember they need to pay taxes on that.. I think they'd already owe something like $250,000 on that?

I tried looking into the tax thing, but I'm not really clear on how gift taxes work when there's an aggregating site like gofundme involved. There's a $14k exemption for each individual donor, but as it's all being pooled by a third party (who are also taking a cut themselves) does the nature of the whole thing change or does the individual donor relationship still exist? Or does none of that matter and it's all treated as normal income for the recipients?

That's still 5-odd whole years of income for a middle-class working couple. Or 10 or so years of income for a single middle class worker. Or two or three years of income for someone in the lower edge of the 1%. That's a lot.

Or well upwards of 10 for the proprietors of a lovely pizza join in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah, much as "the lottery is a tax on people who can't do math" gets thrown around, it's a cheap little thrill and money is non-linear. If you're dropping large amounts of money on tickets regularly that's a problem, but if you're comparing buying $5 of lottery tickets vs. $5 of drink now and then the thrill might be about the same, the risk is lower, and the potential reward higher.

People who shouldn't be blowing their money on poo poo like the lottery is a problem though. Who can say they haven't seen someone standing at a convenience store counter buying scratch off after scratch off, while their several kids sit outside in a rough idling beater?

I'm still pretty proud of it, honestly. See, the way it worked was they used to write tickets for smoking at school under the penal code here in Texas using a section that prohibited smoking in public buildings and hospitals and the like, but after they wrote me a ticket one day and I got all pissed off abotu that I started looking into it and there was a subsection that stated that any building which didn't permit smoking was required to place ashtrays and signs outside every entrance, which obviously a school wasn't going to do (the ashtrays anyway) as that would give the appearance of permitting smoking at all on campus. So I pled no contest and put forth my case, and the judge told me he had no choice but to let me off even though he knew I knew I was in the wrong. And then I hear from a friend a couple months later who got sent to court for the same that the judge was letting everyone go because of "some punk kid named [my name]", which was awesome. And then further, the next legislative session they passed a law under the education code specifically banning tobacco use in public schools. It was all prety great
