Things that annoy me (8 Viewers)

Excellent points. But why so defensive of the rich? Arguably, they benefit most from our power. Most know how to do so, anyway. If they want the power to wage wars and reap the benefits of tax cuts (as they have proven they do) then they should pay. As to our Great State, rising Labor cost is a good thing. Labor has always been a target of wealthy people who don't want to pay. As for the Tax Foundation, it is business-friendly and therefore biased.
Anyway, good to hear economic news from a true expert.

I give up. Do tell me how waging war has anything to do with the average rich guy who made money trading stocks and working for a living. Labor is not a target but paying a line job the equivalent of 500 plus dollars an hour is insane. That is why true manufacturing is dead in this county. But what do I know I am just a lowly cpa who works for a living. The tax foundation is a recognized politicaly agnostic think tank. They are called names when their study doesn't fit one sides narrative. Sorry but business friendly is not biased. Why do companies and people leave certain states in droves for florida and texas, it is not bias but simple math. It is not political it is mathematics. Once again the rich do pay, that is not defensive in any way, it is math.

Sorry if I offended. I actually didn't mean to be sarcastic Tom. You are an expert. Let's agree to disagree here.
Best Wishes all the same

Only in California:


"A jury in California on Friday ordered Starbucks to pay $50 million in damages to a delivery driver who was severely burned by an improperly secured lid on hot beverages.

Michael Garcia was picking up drinks at a drive-through in Los Angeles when he “suffered severe burns, disfigurement, and debilitating nerve damage to his genitals when hot drinks ultimately spilled” onto his lap, according to the lawsuit filed in California Superior Court in 2020. The lawsuit accused Starbucks of breaching its duty of care by failing to secure the lid."
I remember a similar case at McDonald's many yrs ago. BTW, recently had a coffee at McDonald's and it was just lukewarm, maybe due to cases like this one.
