[Terminally online politicians think the pro-Russia/anti-Ukraine bots and shills are actually real people in America.]

You’re not really talking about higher taxes, you’re talking about reworking the corporate tax system. As things stand now higher taxes would encourage more of this sort of behavior, not less.

Corporations only pay taxes on profits, so money spent on business activities, re-invested back into the company, paid to employees, etc. is not taxed. In this system, taxes are kind of a penalty paid for taking money out of the business; the higher taxes are the less incentivized profit-taking is.

If your company made $100 million in profits at a 20% tax rate you get to take home $80 million as opposed to re-investing $100 million back in the company and not paying any taxes, so the incentive to re-invest isn’t very high. But if your company made $100 million in profits at a 40% tax rate now you can only take home $60 million as opposed to re-investing $100 million, which becomes a much better value proposition on re-investment.

They’re not specific about that but I would guess not:

They say it’ll be stronger and have a broader range of motion but I would suspect that using electric motors rather than hydraulics means the more explosive leaping and acrobatics are out. The old Atlas was just a test platform but this seems to be intended as an actual product.

It’s completely absurd that he’s saying this as an anti-bot measure. The bots exist because they generate revenue for the scumbags behind them, a small fee is just going to be part of doing business for them. He’s not trying to stop bots, he’s trying to monetize them and use them as an excuse to charge everyone. “The bot problem” will never be fixed and will be used as an excuse for every anti-user measure they put forward.

Over 80% of Michigan Democratic primary voters just registered their support for Biden and his policies while 20% registered their disapproval. About two thirds of those 20% are now demanding that their concerns be made paramount.

About 100,000 people, representing less than 2% of Michigan voters from the 2020 election, are now demanding that they be allowed to wag the dog and decide national policy based on a crushing election defeat.

A Harvard CAPS-Harris poll

Mark Penn’s fake poll.

You’re trying to understand mental illness. Look at this story for what it is: Yet another tragedy caused by America’s lack of attention to mental health care, especially for our enlisted personnel.

You’re trying to find the glory in this suicide because this story of suicide is being glorified; we’re supposed to know better than that but clearly we don’t.

More likely he was trying to protect himself here; he’s been willing to talk about all those other lawyers Trump had and their crazy plans that he totally didn’t agree with or push*. His story has been that he was just innocently helping prepare a contingency plan in case Trump won in the courts and was totally not planning a coup; now there are tweets where he’s saying, [Trump doesn’t need the courts; he can just do a coup].

*It was amusing the way things went down in Georgia: He filed for separation to try to get away from the crazies and present himself as a responsible lawyer doing responsible lawyer things while the crazies were off doing crimes and he got it! Yay! But, hilariously, then the monkey’s paw curled and Sidney “the Krazy Kraken” Powell also got separation and their cases got joined.

Do you have any evidence, at all, to support your wild accusation? What insider information about Nvidia do you think they had access to?
