If the tax bracket for no taxes is $10k, you don’t get taxed if make under that.

If the tax bracket for 5% is $10-20k, and you made $15k, the first $10k is not taxed, but the $5k is taxed at %5.

So you would never make $0 after taxes, even if you made it into the hypothetical 100% tax bracket.

Right. They design the whole rocket, spend years to build the rocket exactly according to the design doc, then the rocket explodes on the launchpad and they have to start all over.

It’s a condemnation of capitalism and all of human society that an idiot like Elon is the wealthiest person on the planet.

I know it’s that stupid. But it doesn’t matter that it’s stupid. They’re going to use it when they see fit and they have captured the whole legal system to use at their discretion to enact it no matter how stupid it is.

They’re fascists, they’re only going to enforce it when they want to hurt someone they don’t like or when it benefits them. They don’t give a shit about precedence or conviction or morality or anything other than what serves them in the moment. They have captured the courts, and both houses, and the presidency. Consistency or hypocrisy don’t matter to them. They’ll use whatever justification works in the moment and turn on a dime if it serves them.

Say, that does look like Blade Runner…

The Mexican pizza that had olives on it.

Looks like a manly arm.
