You just haven’t noticed that it charges a fee every time

Where do you live where ATM rates are less than .5%?

By the way, using an ATM from the same bank as your card doesn’t count, because that’s usually free.

They should repossess it and place it in the hands of a responsible steward…

I don’t know, 0.5% isn’t a bad rate…

Combined with the news that they’re going to start requiring developer age verification even in the alternate app repositories…

If they have billions of dollars, they’re not strapped for cash. They have a whole culture and industry designed around tax “optimization” where they buy private yachts, mansions, paintings, and other “real” assets under shell companies to write those purchases off as “business expenses” to reduce their tax liability. That’s why they “don’t have cash”. Because they deliberately avoid holding cash across fiscal years.

They also have sneaky ways of avoiding capital gains tax by reinvesting dividends in ways that defer taxation indefinitely.

That all needs to change, and the only way to change it is through tax policy.

The only way to defer capital gains taxes should be through certain retirement plans, which are generally used by the working class because billionaires don’t need 401Ks. And they still get taxed at the end of term when the money is withdrawn, and they can’t be withdrawn from early without a tax penalty.

All these exceptions for billionaires written into the fine lines of the tax code that you need to be able to afford a personal accountant and layers of shell companies in order to utilize needs to go away.

Billionaires have the money to pay taxes; we need to stop allowing them to pretend they don’t.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. People really can’t handle uncomfortable truths. They’ve never seen war, don’t know what it’s like. It probably hasn’t clicked for them yet that they don’t get to respawn when they die. They don’t understand the unfathomable amount of pain that comes with getting shot. They don’t comprehend how irrevocable any act of violence is, or the responsibility that comes with permanently altering the course of history.

I mean sure, something needs to be done, but these people don’t stand a chance against a militarized police force with modern equipment and a virtually unlimited budget.

They don’t understand the level of coordination it would take, the organization and the discipline required. The manpower, the combat experience, the heavy equipment. Small arms wouldn’t cut it. They’re not prepared. They don’t understand what sort of preparation that sort of thing would require.

These are the same idiots who were saying before the election, “it’s better if trump wins because it will hasten the revolution.” Damn fools, there is no revolution. Not one that can succeed. The time to stop this was on election day, and we failed, because idiots like these thought call of duty was real life.

And then they downvote you for telling them war isn’t pretty. Pathetic.
