So moving away has not changed your propensity for constant argument.

What happened to your farewell post?

I'll admit with Newsom taking office next year as expected, that's probably a slim hope and I figure a lot of you are about to get taxed to the titts, but you guys will figure it out. It no longer concerns me politically, or monetarily.

Pick another demographic who might believe your premise.
I need to see some stats on that. I feel like I'm surrounded by far left liberals. In the universities, in our government here, in the immigrants, in the entire Silicon Valley and Berkeley, even OC is run by liberals. I can't get away from them!!

That's why I asked about the fail safes that prevent illegal voting especially in light of the problems the DMV has been having "pre-registering" illegal individuals to the voter rolls.

Also ballot harvesting.

Tulemutt, in a short time since I've posted on this forum, I've come to think of you as an independent intelligent thinker, out there in the weeds. In more ways than one.

So you must contemplate that Bill is saying these things knowing full well it won't happen in his wealth time, yet he's gaining huge liberal/progressive SJW brownie points. Why does he care about SJW brownie points. Help keeps the SJW rabble from protesting at the doors of Microsoft. He might even be half sincere, but again, he doesn't really want that to happen.

Also deep in their hearts, the liberals next step once they convert all these illegal immigrants who magically turn up at our borders after 1000 mile march into nice little DNC voters, in quid pro quo for the citizenship.
Prima facie evident.

I certainly do love weed, yes.

That said, I am quite certain you misread Gates. As the world’s second richest individual, he doesn’t really need or care much about brownie points in the sense you are attributing to him. He can buy as many brownies as he wants ... weed filled or straight. And he’s no longer working to manage MS image. He’s moved on.

Most significantly, while you are entirely right about how challenging it will be to tax “etherials”, I am surprised you overlook the simple reality that mankind has always shown as much (really more) brilliance in figuring out how to market and tax products as it has in conceiving, inventing, and developing them. The world’s brightest minds never rest.

LOL. Who's attacking the poster? His goal is to argue for the sake of arguing.
