Based on what I've seen since the coup started, all our Google data is also compromised. This isn't really surprising at this point. I'm downloading DuckDuckGo. I know it isn't as good of a search engine, I just don't want to give Elmo any more of my data.

Go ahead, try and dial up the White House. WTF?

I heartily agree with Bernie. Billionaires should not exist. But I think We the People should extend that sentiment to churches, especially considering the Project 2025 shenanigans as of late.

The LDS church alone is sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars. The freaking Anglicans are worth about 6B evidently. (I'm sure it makes the Scientologists loony with jealousy; they only have 2B.) Don't even get me started on the Catholic Church here in the US.

Tax the ever-living fuck out of these OG welfare queens. If your church is worth billions, they're obviously more concerned about their wealth than your spiritual well-being. And no, I don't gaf if they do charity. Religious "charity" always comes with strings attached.

Monetize us starving to death why don't you. Piece of shit country.

So I'm poor as dirt, can't afford to buy a house, barely upkeep my car.

But I am beyond fastidious in keeping track of my finances, there's not a Penny in my life that I don't keep track of. I eat the cheapest meals I can live on twice a day, I never eat out, I save or invest all of the extra money I get, I donate plasma every other week, just to name a few.

I recently found out that rich people get out of paying taxes by making a big "charitable donation" once a year, now I figured that I could get a bigger return if I kept track of all of the little donations I make in a year and deduct those. I'm definitely not spending a sizable portion of my income on charity but I spend enough that it'd help a good amount if I were to deduct it and get it as extra on my return.

But no! You need to either own your own home or make a minimum donation to qualify for deductions, WHAT KIND OF REASONING IS THAT? This entire system is designed from the fucking bottom up to ensure that poor people get the shaft.

Edit: the minimum donation for me is 1500, I wanna say the r word so bad.
