Ending it suddenly without a replacement would be a catastrophe, no doubt about it. That doesn’t mean they deserve tax exempt status. The majority of charities are pretty decent and get a good portion of their donations to people in need but there are also charities that are basically a way for the wealthy to avoid taxes. I think the government will better represent the will of the people (in normal times), have lower overhead, work faster, and close the loopholes. I’d also be satisfied with closing the loopholes that allow people to take advantage and avoid paying taxes. Donating a few million to the charity you own to get a tax break, while your nephew runs the charity taking a fat check, and makes the area you live nicer; improving your real estate values should not be a thing.

No churches deserve tax exempt status. Why the hell should we rely on their kindness to feed the homeless when we can tax them and ensure the poor are fed?

The only guy giving the actual reason in the whole thread!

Preferable to a nationwide civil war IMO

Are mass executions already off the table?

It would be cathartic if he spent the next couple of years suffering from immense pain in a hospital bed.

Is it just the brand or what? Curious about pistachio butter.

Some countries have huge taxes on entertainment while others have nearly none. I’d guess he moved to a county with a higher tax rate and Valve can’t just have people using a VPN to circumvent their local taxes. Valve is left without a way to determine where you were when you’d purchased the game so they geo lock the titles to where you purchased them.

You don’t love vets or you wouldn’t vote for Republicans. Y’all cut their benefits, send them into battles, tell them to shut up, then say “I love vets.” Kindly go analyze who you really are vs who you say you are.

Feel bad? They should feel the soft caress of a prison bed.

In Japan they consider curry a European dish, so you’re not really wrong.

But there’s literally breakfast sausages here in the US and like half of all breakfast sandwiches are sausage egg and cheese?

Trying to categorize food is basically impossible.

I’m a rich straight white American man and I’m out here protesting too. You’re not alone, that’s how they want you to feel so you give up.

But yeah, most Americans are out here being damned slugs unwilling to slightly inconvenience themselves for the future of the country.

I am totally done with live service games. 1200+ hours in Warframe and another 300 in helldivers. I have no interest in grinding out the same mission repeatedly to get that new armor again. It was fun the first time less so the second and I would rather play something new.

No dumbass, they use fruit punch Gatorade.

I disagree. With treason you’ve gotta go for the kill for a few reasons. Firstly there’s the obvious violent prison break followed by an armed coup. Second it splinters their followers; without a strong leader the group is far more likely to turn on itself. Thirdly it reinforces the idea that coup’s are the most dangerous move you can make and no matter who you are there’s an absolute and final punishment.

Look where the US is now after not killing the traitors. Normally I’m staunchly against the death penalty but in instances like this it’s truly for the greater good.

This exactly, it’s all fucking nasty. As far as I’m concerned it’s like they’re all just walking around ripping farts and expect people to enjoy their smell.

Yes, some games actually have the data to install the game.

I live in the Seattle area and while this stuff isn’t free it’s under $10 to park and ride both ways. Trains run every 7 minutes and the train will take you maybe five minutes extra if there’s no traffic. If you’re coming or going from the stadiums it’s faster and cheaper than driving to one of the lots close to them. Trains are pretty clean too, it’s a pretty great rail line

As an avid car guy who talks to lots of enthusiasts; the build quality issues have only gotten worse according to them. A friend was looking at the grand wagoneer and asked me about it, so I reached out to a guy who I knew was working at Jeep. Rather than tell me to tell him no, he sent me a picture of a finished one with a panel gap so wide he had his whole thumb in there.

Consumer reports also has reliability at 19/22 which is pretty bad.
