[23:01] IsambardPrince There's just not enough things to spend money on. [23:01] IsambardPrince It's like nobody even wants it. [23:01] IsambardPrince I passed a homeless man earlier and tried to give him $100 but no matter how hard I tried, he just kept telling me no. [23:01] MinceR lol [23:02] IsambardPrince I went to a soup kitchen and offered to donate $1,000 and they said they were good. [23:02] IsambardPrince A homeless shelter told me that the state had fully funded them.

[23:03] IsambardPrince I really feel bad for her having so many billions of dollars nobody will accept. [23:03] IsambardPrince Just piling up because nobody wants them. [23:04] IsambardPrince MinceR, Discotek licensed Urotsukidoji and remastered it in HD. [23:04] IsambardPrince Somehow getting raped in Hell by tentacle demons almost seems like bliss compared to Trump [23:06] MinceR :> [23:06] IsambardPrince MinceR, Today, ICE agents at a Texas courthouse knocked over a man over 80 years old walking on a cane because they were trying to jump on top of an immigrant and missed, and they fractured the old man's leg. [23:06] IsambardPrince Then once they were done arresting the Venezuelan they just walked off without even offering the old guy medical attention. [23:07] MinceR classic authority [23:08] IsambardPrince I read on Reddit that the US citizen husband of a woman who has a green card is keeping loaded rifles and shotguns in his house and doing open carry in case ICE shows up for his wife. [23:09] IsambardPrince You don't fuck with people's family. In many cases it's all they have. I can understand how so many people are this close to boiling over and they don't even care who reads it anymore. [23:10] IsambardPrince He has to know that if he shot at law enforcement they'd kill him, so I assume the thought doesn't bother him much. That's just where Trump has left this country and it only took him a few months.

She waited until 4 days before the filing deadline, to find out she didn't have a tax form for her husband who has recently had a stroke, and then last year she raided her retirement account at 53, which everyone knows comes with another 10% to the IRS, and that caused some of her premium tax credits for the Affordable Care Act plan to be due back to the IRS. [23:13] IsambardPrince You don't want to be the bearer of bad news. [23:14] IsambardPrince Her reaction sort of reminded me of my mom saying her ex husband went to a former IRS agent to have his taxes done and didn't like that he owed the IRS money so he stormed out of her office, only to come back later when someone else said the same thing. [23:15] IsambardPrince It is the taxpayer's responsibility to have sufficient money withheld to pay the IRS. [23:15] IsambardPrince She didn't have anything withheld. [23:16] IsambardPrince The taxpayer is responsible for gathering their own forms, doing the calculations correctly, and sending the amount that is due. [23:16] IsambardPrince Invariably almost everyone I've ever known that didn't have taxes taken out of something then was surprised they owed taxes, was a baby boomer. [23:17] IsambardPrince They don't seem to get that you are supposed to pay as you go, and there are additional penalties if you don't. [23:17] IsambardPrince And that the filing deadline isn't a request. [23:17] IsambardPrince And that paying by April 15th isn't optional. [23:18] IsambardPrince In many cases, boomers are so dumb that they didn't report their income and were surprised Social Security had no earnings record (Uncle Keith). Or didn't file for many years and then lost over $10,000 the iRS owed them (like mom's third husband). [23:19] IsambardPrince Then there was Uncle Barry who worked at RCA and didn't sign up for the free pension program, "Because I'm not going to retire from here." [23:20] IsambardPrince My mother acts like dumb people just started being everywhere as soon as they were all 30-40 years younger than her, but I can throw a rock and hit 20 of them that I know of in her age group that did things like I just said. [23:21] IsambardPrince Then they go "Well, if your generation is so smart, why aren't we landing on Mars." Oh, we absolutely could. It's a matter of money. Nobody will spend that kind of money. It's not a priority for anyone who has power to spend that much money. [23:23] IsambardPrince schestowitz-pi mentioned that there's no practical reason to go to Mars. There's not. The gravity is too low, you can't breathe what little air there is, the soil is highly toxic and even if you could fertilize it with something it would render anything you tried to grow in it inedible. [23:23] IsambardPrince Whatever colony ended up there would always need Earth for more supplies. [23:23] IsambardPrince So you're not even diversifying so that all humans won't perish with the Earth.

The laws of physics don't allow for that. So that's the long way of explaining "Doomed."
