BTW: The top 1% households make over $660k/yr

I bet most everyone here as a buddy in that tax bracket.

Top 10% if over about $275k/yr/household. You know, the "uber wealthy"


There was a boat down the street a few weeks ago with 6 outboards on the back. I did the math in my head and thought who needs 900 hp when they go past the jetties. Then as I drove closer I realized those were 300s on the back. Apparently our neighborhood A/C service company has a boat that can outrun predator drones.


I have to think there is a point of diminishing returns with that many outboards. You are either limited by the friction of water at some point, or you are going to die going all out on those outboards.

But I'm not a boat guy so I'm guessing.

Inhibiting the ability of mass numbers of people from meeting their basic needs is the best way lead to a French Revolution-style political and social crisis.

Agreed.

Jnstead if food stamps, let grocery stores give food. Set nutritional portions based family size.

No fraud. Just food.

I'm sure you would agree to that, right? Basic needs, right?

Rice and beans. SNAP is supposed to be assistance. Rice and beans make good side dishes that are filling. Maybe a sack of potatoes too.

We don't see it as assistance and we have the fattest poor people on the planet.
