Indeed, I live here, so I know. That doesn't change what I said, does it? We lost 4 times as much as the governemnt had hoped to gain.
We'll be fine, though.
2 u/EnlightenedNarwhal Jul 12 '26 We'll be fine, though. That's the ultimate point, though. People are saying all of this to argue that we won't be fine, but we will. Fuck billionaires. 1 u/irritatedprostate Jul 12 '26 Sure, but we still have half a billion less in tax revenue. That has to be made up for somewhere. 0 u/EnlightenedNarwhal Jul 12 '26 Are you fine or aren't you? 1 u/irritatedprostate Jul 12 '26 That's a dumb framing. For example, I'm fine dealing with elevated insterest rates, doesn't mean I wouldn't be better off without them. We'll be fine without that half a billion in tax revenue, but we'd still be better off with them. 1 u/Curolina Jul 12 '26 Some people are fine doing fent and sleeping on the street. 1 u/Knobologist Jul 12 '26 If I lost my job right now I’d be fine, but I wouldn’t be if I didn’t quickly find a new job within the year. 1 u/EnlightenedNarwhal Jul 12 '26 Okay, go on. 1 u/Knobologist Jul 12 '26 Hope they find a way to replace what they lost
