He can borrow against it at low interest rates, giving him income that isn’t taxable.

Enlighten me. What can they do with it that doesn’t stimulate the economy?

The US govt spends $7 trillion every year and they don’t solve shit.

Billionaires and (a) trillionaire exist because there are so many poor and homeless people in the US. Money is a finite resource (or it would have no value). People can only have more if others have less.

Imagine waking up tomorrow and every billionaire vanished. Most people would still go to work. Food would still be grown. Roads would still be built. Hospitals would still operate. Now imagine every worker vanished. That's the difference between wealth and value.

You cannot afford healthcare. You cannot afford childcare. You cannot afford rent. You cannot afford groceries. You cannot afford gas. And your taxes paid for SpaceX making Elon Musk a trillionaire. But sure. Blame it on the single mom who gets $6.20 a day in Food Stamps.

Capitalism doesn't mean "free markets"

Donald Trump's policies are accelerating Social Security’s insolvency. Here’s a common-sense solution: My bill would fund Social Security for the next 75 YEARS by making the wealthy pay their fair share — and EXPAND benefits at the same time. It’s time to act.

So where is the line of "protect and serve" when the government says you have no rights to modify your own vehicle? Can you imagine being a state cop and this is what you’re reduced to?

Just an opinion but: I DONT CARE IF YOU'RE FLIPPING BURGERS, I DONT CARE IF YOU'RE FIXING CARS, I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE PICKING UP TRASH... IF YOU WORK 40 HOURS A WEEK DOING ANYTHING THATS CONSUMING YOUR TIME FOR MONEY YOU DESERVE TO BE PAID A LIVABLE WAGE. You're a human being and your time is valuable regardless of what you're doing to make endsmeat. Personally I dont even know why this has to be a serious topic of discussion...lt just shows you how little people actually care about others.

Human morality is devoid of any god religion or deities

Why Don't You Have High Speed Rail?

A property tax is not an income tax, it is a consumptions tax where the thing being consumed is the services provided to maintain the infrastructure for the homes (water, power, gas, roads, schools, etc). It is calculated via home values only because local governments have no access to anyone's income and cannot levy and income tax, so the price of the home serves as a clumsy and imperfect proxy for ones investment in the area and ability to pay.

The American mind cannot comprehend being able to travel to 31 countries without a passport

yeah.. because england is known for its freezing temperatures 🤔 its almost like.. different people are built for different climates. Did you learn anything in school?

The reason the UK is so stubborn about AC and ceiling fans is that they don't want to admit that their grid can absolutely not handle it. They can barely keep the lights on as is. That's it. That's the reason why.

"Well its 40 degrees over here so you brits are just weak" okay but try turning that 40 degree heat into 0 degrees and see how your cardboard houses and AC helps you there mate

So, jokes aside, to understand why the heat is worse in the UK than say Arizona for example, the answer is quite long... First it's the Humidity, it's far higher here. The UK's island location and prevailing south-westerly winds bring moist sea air, so heatwaves are often humid rather than dry. In contrast, many of the hottest US states (e.g., Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico) have dry desert heat where sweat evaporates quickly, so you actually feel cooler despite higher temperatures. Even humid US regions (like the Southeast) usually have widespread air conditioning to offset it. Second, the buildings and Infrastructure that we have all are designed to Trap Heat, not Release It. UK homes are built for cold, damp winters: thick brick/stone walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and designs that retain warmth. During a heatwave, they turn into ovens, solar gain through windows builds up, and there is poor ventilation or passive cooling features like overhangs, shutters, or light-coloured roofs. Plus, poor air conditioning: Only about 5% of UK homes have AC (vs. ~90% in the US). It's not standard because it's rarely needed most of the year, but during spikes it's a nightmare. Also, retrofitting is expensive and tricky in old terraced houses or listed buildings. This extended to public transport, schools, offices, and even hospitals as they often lack cooling. Finally, most importantly, we have zero acclimatisation. Meaning it's just as hot at night as it is during the day. Britons aren't physiologically or culturally used to sustained heat. We're properly white! So, a sudden jump from typical UK summer temps feels extreme, and the body struggles more without gradual adaptation. Heatwaves often bring "tropical nights" (temps staying above 20 °C), so homes don't cool down overnight. You can't sleep, recover, or anything which just compounds fatigue, dehydration, etc. Drier US heat often cools significantly at night. That is all topped up with the fact that we have longer summer daylight at the UK's higher latitude meaning more hours of solar heating. Hope this long explanation that no one wanted clears this right up...
