No one is. MAGA-pilled people act against their own self-interest to own the libs, they think the left must do the same.

Now that RFK is pushing people to get vaccinated, they think the libs must be embarrassed being pro-vaccine.

RFK blames Faucci for the measles outbreak and is calling people bad parents for not vaccinating their kids against measles.

When called out about his anti-vaccine rhetoric he's been spouting the last few years, he's crashing out and being defensive about how people are twisting his words / that's not what he said / etc.

Not employed, in education or training. In education or training usually implies that it's to get a job later.

It usually more specifically someone who chooses not to pursue a job or career prospects. (Ie: being laid off for long periods of time but still looking for work doesnt count)

You ever copy a link and it's like 3 paragraphs long? Most likely, most of that link is has additional query string parameters that's used for tracking. You could probably remove most of, if not everything after the '?' in those URLs, and it will work fine, but remove all the tracking info.

Magic is unique and already has decades of history with set game modes, metas and very well thought out card pools people already enjoy. With how the cards are structured, people have also made other game modes from the cards, which adds a level of sandbox-iness that doesn't exist in most other games.

Cards aren't also typically power scaled to irrelevance, so people's history with the game usually carries forward to eternal formats.

Also, the community is already overwhelmingly pro-proxy for certain formats / game modes, and being pro-proxy is seeping into other formats too. Everytime shit like this happens with WotC/Hasbro, the default reaction from a lot of people is "I'll just proxy the cards".

Massachusetts implemented a 4% millionaire tax in 2022 and a small capital gains tax. The results?

  • extra $3b in tax revenue, extra $1.3b with the capital gains changed.
  • passed a $2.5 billion infrastructure & education bill
  • millionaires in Massachusetts actually grew because of the economic expansion
  • collective wealth of the people in the state went up by 40% two years after it passed

It's proven that it works. We just need policies that benefit people and not just the rich.
