The Big Beautiful Bill Is Going To Screw Us - EARLY ACCESS, AD-FREE, AND UNCENSORED
Added 2025-09-23 16:19:24 +0000 UTCHi. It's been a few months since the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed by Donald Trump, and you may have already forgotten what a turd it is.

Before I come off as some kind of nitpicking assclown, does anybody want me to write a bunch of clarifying gambling-and-taxes stuff? I was going to do it reflexively because all I do all day is try to explain income tax-related stuff to people, but then I thought "oh, wait, nobody actually wants to hear this." Highlights include: -Professional gamblers have a whole different set of tax rules if they can prove it's their job, like John Turturro's character in Rounders! -Even when gambling losses are fully deductible, sports betting winnings are often not. People *really* hate this when they win a bunch of money, then they start saying "I wish I hadn't won this money!" which is a thing that people always say when they owe taxes on a windfall, but it turns out they NEVER want to give up the windfall in order to not pay taxes on it which they could technically do a bunch of the time. -If your state has income tax, your state has *always* taxed your gambling winnings regardless of your losses. Which is funny, because thanks to the boatloads of tourism cash historically coming into Nevada, they don't even *have* a state income tax. (For now.)

If there is any way you can start to teach people about what we should build instead of what the other side is tearing down, it would be a big service. Everything in the above is done in other countries. Even just an episode on why to join the ICC would help. A lot of people are sad/scared/mad. Help channel that into a demand for something good, not just a rejection of the shit their fed.

2025-09-24 16:43:55 +0000 UTCThe next (reasonable) administration won't need to un-do all this stuff, that would only bring us back to Biden. The next administration can do something radically different and build it better than it was before. IDK, just spitballing but Nationalized Healthcare, UBI, Value Added Tax, Robot Tax, Estate Tax, removing statute of limitations on any child abuse, have the government calculate our taxes and tell us how much we owe, turn military bases into rural hospitals, create a true right to privacy so companies/governments can't spy on you, decriminalize social drugs and use that money to help end addiction, make college free, stop cars from being the #1 killer of children, make guns illegal, make abortions legal, pass laws that allow trans people to be themselves, reinstate a "truth in advertising law" so companies can be sued if they lie to you, break up all businesses that control more than 20% of a market, make fossil fuels illegal, and, idk, build houses for everyone.
