Hillary won the popular vote.

The US government literally sent in their military to fight coal miners that were trying to unionize. They backed the coal mining companies. It's not a new thing.

Yes you pay less tax up to a yearly cap. The yearly cap for 2025 and 2026 is 1100 dollars. So if I was in the Union listed in the image here and had to pay 700 dollars then I would list it on my tax form and pay 700 dollars less on my taxes that year.

In my country you can get union dues back as a tax deduction.

Didn't the founding fathers rebel because they didn't want to pay taxes and not have any representation? Which is funny because the US is doing the same thing today with DC and Puerto Rico. Maybe DC should revolt and throw Trump in the Potomac. You could call it the orange tea party.

How many times was it with the sandwich guy? They downgraded to a misdemeanor and they still lost at trial. These people are wildly incompetent.

Yeah, he is like a toddler that learns new words and keeps using it them over and over until they get bored.

Trump is asking the government to pay him 230 million just for investigating him.

The leopards are gonna die of obesity.

He should stick to sniffing cocaine.

Not for much longer. While they may have the equipment but they are lacking the most important thing: manpower. They already lost a huge amount of men and they can't really conscript more since that will just make the collapse come faster. All those men, dead, or fighting are just people that can't work and pay taxes, can't start families. It's a productivity and demographic disaster. It's unsustainable and you don't need an economics degree to see it.

Though I suspect the reason Putin is keeping the war going is because he has no choice. He was offered one of the best peace deals by the US and they refused it. Why? Because Putin is scared. Once the war ends a lot of angry men with combat experience are going to return home. And those men will look at how the war was run, how some people were safe while they died in the mud. That's just a revolution waiting to happen. It has happened before, World War 1 veterans overthrew the Kaiser in Germany and installed the Weimar republic. The 1917 Russian revolution was started by WW1 veterans. Hitler was a WW1 veteran and he tapped into the anger of other veterans to help him gain power early on.

It worked pretty well because there were a lot of regulations that kept it in check. Capitalism works fine if it's regulated either by governments or by workers through unions.
