Cool. Well I replaced Google with a million other things that are objectively better.

Oh…is this just some attention thing to try and get me back? Aww… Sorry, G. Look, G, I’m sorry to tell you over text, but it’s over. It’s been over for years. We broke up so long ago, and it was never going to work out anyway. Please just delete me from your contacts list. It’s better this way.

What a time to cancel it and never use it again.

Yo, they charge the non-Prime people fucking $10 a month for it. Is that just the “ad-free tier” now?

My friend. 10K years ago humans already occupied Asia, the Americas, and Southern Africa.

None of them had wheat. But the jaw shrinkage theory applies to them.

How would jaws shrink in MesoAmerica when wheat didn’t arrive until 500 years ago?

Cultivated corn.

How did jaws shrink in Asia when wheat was not cultivated widely and was not made into bread?

Cultivated rice.

How did jaws shrink in SubSahan Africa where wheat simply can not grow? 100% of bread made in most African nations is made from imported flour.

Cultivated millet, sorghum, rice, and yams.

Then why would groups that don’t have bread, and in many cases have only had access to bread for 4 or 5 generations, experience jaw shrinkage thousands of years ago? There’s literally billions of people pointing to the fact that is agriculture.

This isn’t conspiracy theory stuff. Even the wiki page says it’s agriculture.

It’s OK to realize you were told wrong by someone else. It’s not your fault. It’s not an L, it’s learning.

Bread?

Agriculture. Otherwise explain how cultures that cultivate rice or maize or yams where no wheat grows also experienced the same morphological changes.

Right, so this is not the infinitie tax power it seems like you think it might be. For starters, making it a franchise tax limits the liability to what’s in-state. A clever lawyer can easily move assets around on paper and ensure the tax never goes farther than the site and staff payroll within months. Do you honestly think NY State legislator would ever, ever pass a law that gave them this level of power?

On top of that, NY, NJ and CA have, according to whiner business people, have similar tax environments. NJ and NY are in a race to the bottom since NJ can copy 90% of NY policies and retain access to the NYC market and still claim “lower taxes!” For CA, the state’s biggest cities and economic hubs are simply physically too far from other states to make it the same situation as NY and NJ.

CA famously fights with the entertainment industry over this all the time. BC gave them tax breaks in three 90s and everything was shot there for years. Then Chicago in the mid-late 2000s. Georgia right after that. But that industry also is well known for simply disposing of people and being very geographically fluid because it isn’t reliant on.

Likewise, the tech industry has priced itself out of the Bay Area just on terms of housing, and started already spreading itself around the US. I expect exactly for this reason. Nothing in CA is holding the industry there other than “tradition” and human emotions. Those are fragile things when dealing with fickle man-children that think they’re gods. They know everyone at Trump’s inauguration can go to any governor and state their terms. Amazon already played this game with East cost distribution centers. They relished the chance to do it.

Taxes arent magic. They are a blunt tool.

States actually can’t apply any tax regime they want if it violates the interstate commerce clause. As the GOP argued against Obamacare, a mandatory penalty is a tax. This SCOTUS would 100% agree with that assessment. If a state implemented eminent domain on a business, which is state nationalization on par with every corrupt despotic regime in history and economoc suicide, that’s close enough to a penalty for leaving the state that this SCOTUS would gladly invalidate it

Trump investments were likely still headquartered in NY, so your point doesn’t really apply here. Also, sales tax applies to where a sale taxes place. Your best bet would be a sales tax on specific factors that catch tech companies. But just like Ireland and the EU, tax havens can be an office of 10 people in a company of 1000.

Look, thus is a hard problem to solve. Policy people have been trying for decades. These people employ armies of lawyers to get them out of every problem, and they proudly leverage states against each other, and this is what that looks like. Don’t give the bastards what they want, and they wany sympathy they don’t deserve.

Hilarious. There’s a non-zero chance that the two share office space or staff, too. I used to work with an association/foundation thing like this and the foundation rented office space from the association for like $1 a year. Very few people knew the dividing line of exactly which staff were which because it was so intermingled.

Doing this is effectively unconstitional as it would be interpreted as an interstate tax. So lawyers would get this slapped down pretty much instantly.

Plus, what a gift to billionaires. “See! They’re so mean to me. ;…(”

The tax policy should draw a clear distinction between taxed individuals and corporations, making this a Larry Page is a bitch problem, not “CA is threatening businesses” issue.

Exactly. Not crazy that ancient humans would see them and smash the seeds up and eat.

Wheat is just fancy grass. People learned how to process wheat before they learned how to wipe their asses with a communal sponge on a stick.

Wheat calories are what unlocked the big brain thinking that first said, “Guys, let’s put just ONE sponge on a stick. And share it!”

$Texas

I’ve got a lovely quid to sell you…

… But we won’t

Praise be

What!?

The Illuminati told me to lick their black hole, and just keep going for like 45 minutes.

Did they mention anything about “deadly old diseases” coming back as well due to political reasons?

And in 1998, the US had only admitted AIDS was real for barely a decade. So it would seem logical to expect more new diseases down the line.

Yeah. That’s why the used piss.

2 steps ahead of you, boss. Locked and loaded ready for the Terminators already.
