NYSpeed’s imaginary cryptocurrency has been the $Beck for years. We can only decuple our economy from the $Beck and move to the $Josh if we hold a referendum. We could call it the “Beckxit” ---

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > If it is 6 figures in NYS income tax, that is pretty baller but if it is 6 figures in total NY taxes… meh. I wish it was total taxes, but it is income taxes at current. I’m hoping they can sort the federal income & cap gains taxes out a bit after they get over the healthcare garbage so at least the punishment at the state level seems more tolerable. That said, fuck moving to Florida or Texas strictly to reduce state taxes unless you legit want to live there anyway. Also @LZ1 sorry for being a cock, I assume the worst always because internet and figure no one here would give a flying fuck either way what I do or don’t say here 😉 ---

On Trump topic about business: I’m pissed that the 15% passthrough rate for self employed or S corp looks like it has left his agenda since the election. That would be such a boon for business ownership. ---

That would be such a boon for business ownership. I keep telling myself one day when I get a shit raise, I also need to pay off a vehicle or 2, but they’re almost paid off. Really I just don’t know how I would talk to the owner of the company, like “hey I want to be you, and I know working for you I can never be you”. Lol its gonna be strange, he might try to throw money at me to stay, I heard he used to stop by people’s houses and give then 5k to not quit. Maybe it’s just hearsay though, but it’s great to have a career in demand. ---

Im of the assumption that this bill was the match to burn down paul ryan. He has been anti-trump, and trump “doesnt forget”. Let him burn, introduce a new speaker, pass a good bill.
