So if you do business in 10 states...or even metropolitan areas... and they all do this, you get taxed at 115% before your federal taxes are even taken out? How is that supposed to work?
Based on how taxes tend to work, only the income directly related to New York would be taxed. I'm not say they won't try to tax ALL your income, but if they do you're going to see companies stop selling to New York entirely.
 
I think ICE agents should not wear masks and have nametags, but I also believe if you act in a way that's threatening or violent in defense of an illegal immigrant, you should be charged with treason.
Only if wearing masks during protests, riots and other unlawful assemblies becomes illegal and punishable by immediate arrest and prosecution under the same (or similar) law.

I can't wait until we get to find out the name of the 22 year old "gun violence interruptor" recent social work grad who is brutally killed on video by the gun violence she's supposed to be interrupting!
It would make it substantially easier to thin out the liberals' "useful idiot" reserves. I think I'm on board with this idea TBH. It keeps the cops out of the line of fire and puts the worst of America's college output in direct danger. I don't see a downside.
 
Are you arguing militarization of civilian police forces is a good idea now? I'm confused, do you not get how our civilization works?
Lol! Buddy that ship sailed about two decades ago, as police departments bought up all that surplus GWOT gear. Probably earlier than that. Seen your local SWAT team recently?

Seen how normal non-SWAT team cops have M4 carbines.

If an ICE agent can sleep better at night by wearing a mask, I say fucking go for it. Just give him a badge number to wear for identification.
 
So, you believe we should in fact have militarized police forces who are able to cover their faces while policing the community? Do you know how anti-Western that sounds?
I haven’t formed an opinion really, but how is being masked ‘militarization,’ is it just mask = scary and police + scary = military? I’m genuinely asking.

Make America Healthy Again advocates have achieved yet another victory as Nestle has just announced they plan to remove food dyes from all of its products by 2026.

I can't stress this enough, we pay these food corporations to poison us. They put this shit in our food because they know most people (especially over worked and stressed out mothers) will buy this shit and feed it to their kids without taking a second glance at the ingredients.

Maybe stop throwing bricks at cops trying to deport rapists and murderers then they wouldn't have to bring out the tear gas.

Oh no problem then, let's keep going down that path. Open your butthole up!

It further erodes public accountability, transparency, consent of governance, and basically, trust. It is very counter to our cultural values. The police are not the military for a reason. Just because we've gone down this path doesn't mean it was a good idea or we should go further. And putting numbers on them for identification when they wore masks, for instance, wouldn't solve this issue in any way, shape, or form. It is extremely Anti-American and Orwellian for anyone in here arguing for it.
 
i cant wait for mamdani to realize that grocery stores only have a profit margin of 1-3 % then start just directly subsidizing groceries themselves. The Hasidim will just buy up all the groceries and then resell them outside of NYC
I’m actually fine with city run grocery stores.
The Pajeet round the corner only sells unhealthy, processed goy slop anyways.

So if they have to subsidize the stores to sell actual food at cheap prices? Go for it!

Shaneequa and Paco won’t buy actual food, they prefer their cheap, fatty sugary shit. So it’ll be white people who’ll be able to get cheap organic milk and eggs.

“Bu… But nah tax dollars!”

Fuck that. If you live in NYC you pay a city income tax ON TOP of state and federal taxes. I have no problem with New Yorkers actually getting something for their tax dollars in the form of subsidized groceries and free busses.
 
>city-run grocery stores
Price controlling food will lead to skyrocketing food costs.
This is the craziest one to me. Once upon a time, I worked as a grocer, and margins are insanely low. What few things did have good margins subsidized the particularly bad items (some of which would even lose money). Cutting out the profit would save shoppers no appreciable amount of money, and just creates headaches (if there's inventory loss, where does the money to cover it come from?)

And there's going to be plenty of shrinkage with the anti police initiatives.

I get the argument for sure, although like @Fapcop said it’s not like anybody’s getting identified easily under a helmet. My issue is more with your terminology, militarization has a meaning and I’m not sure how masking is militarization other than you don’t like it and it’s is a buzzword that people react negatively to instinctively. Is it actually a military practice though? It’s a bit like ‘assault rifle,’ people have trouble defining it but it’s an easy word to use to portray something as negative.
 
Zohran Mamdani put out this video on Instagram through some media account and it is horrible. He talks about how being antizionist is a key issue for him while sitting on a park bench eating biryani with his hands. Eating with your hands is traditional for some part of South East Asia, but even the people who do this and live outside of their countries wouldn’t be caught dead doing it outside on a bench without access to a sink. It comes off as extremely forced and inauthentic.

He also says something nonsensical, that when living in South Africa, it his body that was his keffiyeh. (The fuck?)

Comments are all as expected: retards fawning over how he’s so genuine, authentic, and down-to-earth because he is eating with his hands. As if he would be doing that when the cameras aren’t rolling.

Also he says Astoria is the place in NYC where he feels at home being a South East Asian. He seems oblivious to the fact that NYC has several Indian ethnic enclaves, Murray Hill being more prominent than Astoria. If he doesn’t feel at home, he should go back.
