@pauly , you really need to stop being spoon fed by your propaganda masters. All of this can be so easily looked up but you've been brainwashed into dismissing real news and reporting and rely solely on alt right wing entertainers who make a living off of suckers like you. You're like a little chick, waiting with it's mouth agape, for the gruel they spit down your throat. Funny how you can go from saying 25% of California is homeless (that's 10 million people you fool) to agreeing with me that it's much, much less and taking me to task for reading a different article than the one you referenced and the difference being about 5%, which still leaves the homeless population well under 185,000. In a state of 40 million. Nice try to save face but you were tasked with looking at other states and their situation and have yet to get back to me. Afraid to look them up? I know you're afraid so here's a link: https://www.bigcountrynewsconnection.com/local/report-washington-state-has-5th-largest-homeless-population-in-u-s/article_5332f86c-3c91-11eb-86b9-1348497e7329.html The amazing thing is, you can do it for any state. I don't spoon feed those who're supposed to be self sufficient. And as for you @oregonpapa , why is everyone to the left of HItler, Mussollini, Pol Pot, and Putin seen as the radical left when in fact, they're mostly centrists, with some left of center programs that only serve to reinforce democracy?

Strange thing about all the money in CA; In spite of "rolling" in money, CA has the largest homeless population in the US. 1 in 4 homeless Americans are Californians. Had to go back up and find it. My bad, but not enough to negate that California is the powerhouse economy in this nation, which you haven't successfully argued against. Homelessness has been with us since, forever? And here you are, madly dancing on the head of a pin about what's commonly known, avoiding the fact that we do so well in this state. It's a common right wing tactic to magnify a small point to negate the bigger story. And in my haste, I fell for it. Sometimes your chicken little dance has it's value. But we're still talking of less than 170,000 out of over 40 million with about 29,000 coming from out of state. 0.4% of a states population being on the outs paints a completely different picture than the one you're doing with your crayons. So, what state do you reside in? And, what's your solution to the homelessness in this country? Is it the Brian Dennehy route he took in Rambo? What's with the cancel culture? All the best, Nonoise |
So my answer with the apology (for reading too quickly) and in which I admitted it, while still pointing out your sidetracking of matters gets deleted?
Nothing untoward or offensive in the least in that post. What a piece or work you are. Did you do some quick research on your state and saw how bad things are there and that's why you won't tell me what state you reside in?
pauly, did you do that to make yourself look even better?
Do you think leaving everything else up achieves that?
Are you sportin' wood for getting to use the word puerile in a sentence?
You're still wrong about the matter of California's success and your blowing the homeless situation way out of proportion as a means to attack the state.

Frank, All great and some, funny points except for #1. It was Reagan who started the ball rolling. https://sites.psu.edu/psy533wheeler/2017/02/08/u01-ronald-reagan-and-the-federal-deinstitutionalization-of-mentally-ill-patients/comment-page-1/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4364434/ As for my take, establish a living wage, which would free up the taxes we pay in food services and housing assistance and stop subsidizing the employers who are making bank off of this racket. Pay some form of child support/assistance to working families so they can afford decent child care since both parents need to work to make ends meet. Other countries have been doing this since, forever, and have the stats to back up the benefits from doing so. As for "printing" money, how come I heard no one bring that up with the last, unfunded, 2 trillion dollar tax giveaway to those that didn't need or warrant it? All the best, Nonoise |
Money in the US is whatever Congress regulates it to be. If Congress decides clay bricks engraved with appropriate seals is the money of the United States then that’s it. There is nothing in the constitution that demands gold and silver be money, the constitution only says Congress has the authority to coin money and regulate the value thereof. Constitutionally speaking. 👍😄👍 And I do believe that Article 1, section 8 clearly spells that out: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; To borrow money on the credit of the United States; To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures;
To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States;
I left out anything not germane to taxation. All the best, Nonoise |
Look under your beds everyone!
The commies are-a-comin'!
To read MC's take on classic projection (all the time) has gotten me to think he's actually here to recruit followers. Lord knows, there's been some who come a runnin any time he blows his horn.
Recently, the FBI put out an advisory to parents with kids who are into online gaming and it was scary. You see, people like MC hang out on those gaming sites and get to know the kids, pretending to be one of them.
Every so often they drop a racial slur or invective or some sexually snide remark and then gauge the reaction. They play it safe and continue to amp things up until they get the desired responses.
Then they PM the kids who react like likely candidates and get them to meet them on another site. They compliment and praise them for how smart they are and it all goes deeper into the alt right rabbit hole.
From the responses they got, it's quite successful. I bring this up because MC doesn't just rant, he puts out a manifesto of sorts with all the recruiting points neatly laid out. This stuff is very similar to what the feds see online. I've read some of it and this is too close for comfort.
Now it may all be that he's just mimicking what he reads online but if anyone has been PM'd by him on matters like this and got the pitch, I'd be very careful of your next step.
All the best,

Why bother responding to such matters when it's only going to get deleted, again, when they don't like the answer? This is only an exercise in framing the discussion (deleting valid answers) here to make it look like no one has the answer when it's right in the first sentence of the referenced quote: ”The Sales Tax does not apply to casual and isolated sales by persons who are not, or who have been deemed by the Commissioner not to be engaged in the business of selling tangible personal property or furnishing any of the services subject to the Sales or Use Tax. The Commissioner deemed otherwise. All the best, Nonoise |
What alt right idiot took issue with a direct quote from the Constitution of the United States regarding taxation, and only taxation? It had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the OPs question.
We've got some really sick puppies here.

Always with the culture wars. That would never occur to me, but then, I base my thinking on reality. 😄

Give it a rest Frank or you'll give Admin the impression that since she's a woman, you won't listen.

Frank, did you not get the message?

Apologies to Admin for the last post above, as I was responding to Frank and missed it.
Won't do it again.

How much would that be, who would decide the amount, and how would it be distributed? Up until Reagan destroyed the middle class, wages always tracked with productivity. If they were to wave a magic wand, then everyone would see about a 30% increase in their wages, but that will never happen, dontcha know? Again, why should taxpayers pick up the tab for what employers refuse to pay, thus subsidizing the employers? Would the funds come from families that don't work?
No, ya big silly. They'd come from the uber wealthy who've been benefitting from their decades long plan of redistribution, which has created quite the aristocracy (something our founding fathers were dead set against). Most likely because the crowd you hang with don't have a clue about the money issue and never discuss it. This, coming from a gold bug? You're funny. Why do you see equity as a problem? Why do pundits on FOX and in the GOP call for defunding our military, actually oppose bills to support the cops, call our military leaders "pigs" and "stupid" and you let them get away with it? Right wingers beat and killed cops for crying out loud. Where's your outrage, Frank. Is it because you don't watch any real news? All the best, Nonoise |
Hey pauly, did you read what I wrote after you deleted my apology, just 5 posts up? Or you that fired up that you got your post deleted thinking you’ve framed a narrative to make me look bad that you didn't even bother to take a look?
Just getting that notice that a post of yours was removed triggered you that much?
This time, I can say with confidence, that you should have read it before posting so this time, you wouldn’t look like the one with egg on your face. Nothing like having you plan backfire so bigly, eh?
Oh, and by the way, if you want to be left alone, don’t start the problem or even try to frame someone without thinking it through.
All the best,

I guess you’re weren’t smart enough to realize one of the URL’s I posted was from the official CA government page right? I did, and it supports what I’ve already told you. Your comprehension needs lots of work. You originally stated that California’s homeless make up 1 in 4 of it’s residents. I was the one who pointed out that that number was in the nation. And now, with no other recourse, you go and enact the "cancel culture" that your side invented by having my spanking of you deleted. How wonderful. By the way, what state do you live in? What solutions do you have to handle homelessness in this country? Feeble. All the best, Nonoise |
Strange thing about all the money in CA; In spite of "rolling" in money, CA has the largest homeless population in the US. 1 in 4 homeless Americans are Californians. We have the most populous state, by far, of any in the nation. 40 million people reside here and 2nd place goes to Texas, with 29 million. Put everything into proportion and perspective and your stat, taken out of any sensible context, is weak. One in four families are at the food scarcity level in the entire US, not knowing where their next meal will come from. That’s just the average and in some states, it’s much, much worse. A lot of the homeless come here to get away from other states that treat them poorly. In fact, some of those states criminalize homelessness and they look down on them, punishing them when they can. Besides, the weather here is mostly nice, year round, so add it all up and Bob’s your uncle. Using google, look up any state and their homeless rate, and compare that to their population as a whole, and get back to me on what you find out. While doing that, also look into what each state does for their working poor as well as their homeless. All the best, Nonoise PS: a real quick search showed your stats to be misinterpreted, at best, or an outright lie, at worse. California has a homeless population of 0.4%, but has 22% of the nation's homeless. 13% of the homeless come from out of state. The rest are residents who fell on hard times, mostly through medical bills that bankrupted them. |
When I bought an amp from Parts Express, I got the wrong model so it had to be sent back and I had another one sent to me. When returning it, I was told to state it was going back for repairs or a mod to avoid any hassle with customs and the whole declarations mess, and that was many years ago.
Things haven't seemed to have changed so I wonder why the OP wasn't informed about it or it could just be some overzealous official in TN.

@oregonpapa , once again, you show your true colors when running away from anything that negates the dreck you put out. As much as you hate "liberal California", Rump got more votes from the state than 11 other red states combined. 6,005,961 from California and 5,844,399 from Mississippi, Arkansas, W. Virgina, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, N.Dakota, S. Dakota, Utah and Montana combined. If you want to throw out all that support, fine with me. That, and the writer of that blog is a woman. But you didn’t read all the Bloomberg references, did you? She’s one of the best bloggers out there right now and sources her info very carefully. To dismiss outright what she had to say speaks volumes. And what do you offer? A far right site funded by a right wing billionaire who’s got this anti-union thing going. Why all the love for fascist agendas? https://eastbayexpress.com/how-a-billionaire-funded-anti-union-think-tank-in-nevada-shapes-bay-area-news-media-coverage-of-public-employee-pay-2-1/ Don’t forget the two biggest and costliest wars we’ve fought were against such agendas (Civil War and WWII) and yet here you are, advocating for a return to their policies of being so anti worker. It makes one wonder....... All the best, Nonoise |
What's with all the lies about California popping up every time taxes come up? Let's see......kool aid + conditionally triggered=stupid statements already disproved. For those disposed to the long lost act of reading, this should sober you up some (most likely not): https://digbysblog.net/2021/06/as-california-goes-11/It's why we're +$75 billion in the black. All states have debt. Considering California is the world's 5th largest economy, $1.5 trillion would put it at the top to make it the best operating economy in the world, beating out all the other countries. It's all how you spin it. All the best, Nonoise |
