But... but ... anony-mouse sources are always so trustworthy, @Sawnee Cat Don't ya know?

If the source is anonymous about something so trivial, then you can't believe a frkn word of what's attributed to them. What kind of gutless coward would comment anonymously about a speech given in London to industry leaders? You'd have to be some kind of douchebag loser to need to be anonymous in this situation.
It is laughable. LOL_Man may be upset his child can't get a sex change in a Florida hospital or by a Florida doctor. Or can't be sexually groomed in our public schools. That is a deal breaker for LOL_Man.

DeSantis was successful in bringing in millions of revenues through new business from South Korea, Japan, Israel, all for our state economy and in my book that is a success. With a 1.4 trillion-dollar economy we can take a few hits from envious enemies of a different political persuasion. As we keep saying, Florida is not for everyone. We are looking at you @LOL_Man
 
For a man not to be going places, he is welcome in Iowa. We are getting closer and closer to the day.

We traded The Merchant of Death for Brittany Grindr…..who hates our country.

……and it’s already been quietly forgotten. Disgusting.
Griner’s a total anti american left wing prick. did he ever say even once he was thankful for being an american or show appreciation for our government trading the merchant of death in exchange for his sorry ass?

 
It's a corruptocracy that the founding fathers said would come about if we didn't fight against it. They fought against it very early in our existence all the way up to the mid 1800s. Unfortunately there are a lot of stupid people in the world that think corruption isn't corruption when it takes a different name.

Out of fear the ignorant and lazy centralize everything under "govt" because they think it makes them safer. The truth is that government doesn't even "govern" itself, but runs roughshod over the people more and more with every bit of oversight, control, and power it is given. Doesn't matter where. Doesn't matter what name it's given. Yes, some forms are easier to corrupt and become dictatorships, like communism and socialism, but they all go the same way if the people become complacent
Like fire, govt is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
 
It’s refreshing to see an executive use the legislature, rather than attacking political opponents with the fbi, cia, irs, etc.
Funny how the left and GOP enemies attack a Governor for enacting laws passed by the State Legislature which are the will of the people who elected them. There is never a negative word from them when the executive office punishes a citizen through the FBI, CIA, IRS.

But campaign on a promise to do the will of the people and then when a state legislature introduces a bill, it goes through the State House and Senate and is signed by the Governor. All HELL breaks loose. That Governor IS A FACIST TYRANT and @LOL_Man has a hissy fit.

Don't you love politics.

Why? You say that with no supporting information. If someone only has 10k and you tax them 10k you take everything they have, making them homeless and destitute on the street. If someone else has 1000k(1 mil) and you tax them that same 10k it’s a meaningless 1% that doesn’t affect their quality of life at all. Fair is a relative term, means different things to different people.
I disagree. I did provide a rational for what is fair. People do have different ideas of what is fair, but what you put forth can't measure fairness. You don't consider the cost the government incurs on behalf of each citizen. How can any judgement of fairness exclude cost? Your analogy is the same as saying you and I each need $100 of groceries for the week. I have $500 to spend and you have $100. In your analogy it would be unfair for you to pay $100 because it takes all your money, even though it costs $100. In your world, fair would be to charge me $150 and charge you $50. So how is it fair that I pay more than cost simply because I have more, and you pay less than cost simply because you have less. Fairness has to include some measure of the cost of what we each receive. If a person can consume resources and force others to pay for those resources, then the ones paying are essentially slaves to the ones not paying. In your example, the person has an earnings problem he or she needs to address and/or the government has a spending problem it needs to address. There is no scenario where the government should be spending so much money where taxes would consume someone's entire wages.

Taxes, to be fairly distributed, should be assessed as closely as possible to how the services are being used to be fair. A good example, is road taxes. Because they are collected through gasoline sales, they closely mimic the utilization of roads for which they support. If we want to simplify tax code, the resulting tax distribution should mimic consumption of the services for which taxes support. That's probably easier said than done, but I would disagree that just looking at what a person makes can give you any idea of fairness.
 
@LOL_Man

They are getting it done on the left coast. Your man Gavin is doing the job and the will of the people. Salute. I think it is a safe bet these boys will not be vacationing on the Florida beaches.

I can't imagine ANYBODY standing by while this shit happens. Please let there be a hell for these animals and those who support it.
 
This is not leadership. Always finding someone else to blame. Trump came into office without having the experience needed to select a military leader. Because neither he nor anyone in his family history have been in the military. So we get stuck with This General because "people" were recommending him. Really? He has turned our military into a woke POS and I know a man who will fire him the first day on the job.

If I take those billions away from Bezos and Musk, is the government still gonna give me prime same day delivery of nearly anything I may want and electric cars?

No. Whatever services they do provide will be neutered, lame versions of what we have now, and they will never innovate.
 
Lots of oldsters in this country who sold their homes and now rent a townhome in a retirement community. Lots of people live and work in urban areas and find it more convenient to rent in the city. Regardless of the reasons, it's stupid to compare any aspect of America with Norway. Maybe fishing.
I think there are about 23 states with populations larger than the country of Norway.

Funny thing about Bud Light is I’m now sort of de facto boycotting. I’ve generally never boycotted anything. I don’t give a shit about the politics of actors in movies or TV shows, music, etc. Enjoy what you like.

But as far as light beer on the golf course, there really isn’t much of a difference to me between Bud Light, Miller Light, Coors, etc. I’d just been drinking Bud Light as the default because that’s what I started drinking in college when I graduated from Bud Light.

Drink Coors and you can avoid any and all conversation about trans bullshit. The small chance that someone brings up the trans topic when all I want to do is play golf and relax is enough to have me opting for Coors. With a commodity such as light beer, best to not insert political bullshit into the conversation.
 
Why do you lefties always pick extremely White countries when comparing the US to them?

The left would love for the US to be like Sweden, Norway, etc. - lily white. Who are the real racists?
You. Norway is great because of their policies, not their skin color. Kentucky is basically as white as Norway and is poor and awful. The only one making it about race is you.

The majority of the country obviously disagrees with you or income tax wouldn’t be graduated. That’s exactly what all taxes do, redistribute resources so “a person can consume resources and force others to pay for those resources”. It’s a fundamental part of why modern society has been so successful. We shift resources to where they’re needed, allowing more success to flourish. We built all of this because we shifted power out of the hands of lords and into the hands of the people.
