Illinois has passed a budget.

Rauner's veto was overriden and a permanent income and corporate tax increase was just established. This puts the state income tax at 4.95% (up from 3.25%) and the corporate tax rate is now 7% (up from 5-something% who cares gently caress 'em).

poo poo all started because a temporary tax rate hike (which put the income tax rate at 5% instead of the now-4.95%) ended the year Rauner got elected and he's been playing gently caress-gently caress games ever since, trying to destroy unions.


I feel a little better.

Yeah, them greedy Athletes always looking out for more money.

Never mind that in the NFL roughly half of the money goes to 31 owners(not sure how the Packers work) and the other half goes to like 1920 players. But the players are greedy.

working as intended


obviously most of the wealth goes to the owners, they're the job creators

If we burn it all down then we can't give it up when we default on our debts and need to give up something for repo to other countries, and then we have to give up the parts we didn't want to burn.

Just something to think about!

Look you burn Atlanta and then give the creditors, I dunno, all of Kansas? Who'd miss that shithole?

Hell, just give 'em the whole of the lower Great Plains, all the cool nature poo poo's up north anyway


and gently caress the entire top half of Texas

I still find it kinda bizarre that because I don't like Russia I'm by default a liberal now. Like there are really only three things I'm liberal about : social issues, weed, and healthcare.

Do you want to be able to buy silencers without a tax stamp or extensive background check and maybe eventually full auto without an ffl, or not?

Uh, no? Why should I care about not having a tax stamp on silencers or not being able to buy full auto without an ffl?

To rephrase, why should I care so much that I would willingly get into bed with the neo-klansmen at the NRA? I'm not afraid of the "feral urban youth" because I'm not an ignorant bigot. Also, the poo poo they fight for isn't important to me in the first place, let alone important enough to actually support them with my knowledge of their bigotry and racism.

In other news, apparently the "reason" for the yoga teacher being shot in MN is that she slapped the patrol car and spooked the officers.

Because I know I'd shoot any attractive Australian yoga instructor for daring to strike my company vehicle.

Glad to see that even here there are still lovely assholes.

The thing is that the arguments I'm seeing are the same ones that were lodged against LGBT serving in the armed forces, and apparently they're just modified versions of arguments made against integrating the armed forces back during Korea.


So yeah, I'm gonna probably need reasoning better than "but it'll be too hard for the DoD to incorporate" (the DoD had a good compromise set up with Obama's regs, so no, it wouldn't) or "but what about showers/barracks" (this is the exact same reasoning behind the bathroom bills and is deffo an anti-trans comment) or the laughable "it'll save money" (we spend 5x of what we would on transition/gender reassignment on Viagra/ED for gently caress's sake).


Come at me with something substantive that isn't one of those arguments or concede to being on the wrong side of history.





Probate my rear end i don't give a gently caress, I knew some drat good people that ended up transitioning and this is fuckin' disgraceful
