Seems like these people have no idea what the government does. They just think it's just things for poor people and minorities.

They've been spoonfed for so long that they forget that they're the poor people. That sounds mean, but holy fuck, I don't need snap. I personally don't need welfare. I'm doing okay - but I voted for those things because I know people do depend on them. But hooray I guess they voted to lower my taxes probably? I guess enjoy not being able to afford food when I voted to try to protect that?

Your taxes will be going up unless you’re making in excess of $400k per year. Only the very richest are getting tax cuts, and those will be massive cuts. This is the actual primary goal of this admin, make no mistake.

My taxes will probably be going down. I still think this administration deserves hellfire and cancer. I am ashamed to be an American. Fuck Elon, I actually hope he dies in some sort of fiery crash, but slowly. And I'll do whatever I can to make life better for my community.

Glad you haven’t been corrupted into a temporarily embarrassed billionaire…yet! ;]

I won't ever be a billionaire, I wouldn't want to be anyway, that's insane. Anything over a few million to coast during my senior years I'll just donate - assuming I even make that much.

I'd really love to build local communes where groups of people can live somewhat or completely sustainably. I'm thinking like well water, solar power, community garden, and little homes surrounding a central community area. I'd love it if people could also contribute to living by doing something they enjoy versus something they have to do.

Nice, I too share a very similar vision. Working on getting something like it setup near where I live, definitely a worthwhile pursuit!

I want to do this so bad but my landlord probably won't let my wife and I do that to their home they don't live in.
