Are you a dev? If so maybe you can create and manage some option for people to switch on a #TimeStamp with each post posted 🤷♀ nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955
Could be cute 💜


Yeah. How we got here is a mess. How we are going to free ourselves from here is also a mess. But, it will be worth the doing to make sure our children are freer than we are.


I'm not a dev. I do this manually and if damus implements this, i'll be out of a job ☺

Omg! Sorry!

😣 my bad! I think they are too busy to do that! 🙏 or maybe they can hire you to manage it so you keep your job and become part of the team :)

I think it’s super cool what you are doing 💜💜🧡


It is my duty ma'am 🫡

An honorable one at that 🫡


And if you buy or sell BTC, you pay taxes. As long as there are states and we interact with them, we'll pay taxes. With or without BTC. But then, that's a never-ending debate...

No lie lol- on the bills it says federal reserve note and if it’s in a bank account, you’re a creditor to the bank. If it’s usd it’s Their money.

There’s a song in there somewhere https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gMdcE8jdz70


"...They tax you when you sell, they tax you when you buy, they take half when you live and they take half when you die..."

- Kottonmouth Kings 'Peace Not Greed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_eLuNX0cRw


They tax you when you die and then tax your estate after that.

Yeah


Basically


Literally had this song stuck in my head all morning for whatever reason. Now it'll be there through the afternoon.

I shld tax them for taking up space in my head. Dang


Haha yeah


A primary reason the U.S. Constitution was created was to give the federal government the power to tax. Before that, it basically had to request funds from the States. Kind of like a GoFundMe or value4value.

Everything the government does could be funded voluntarily, provided privately, more cheaply, and with greater efficiency. No taxes needed.

If you own commercial vehicles in the US you could be paying extra road taxes based on weight, and you can be restricted to certain areas within your state. You also have to pay an emissions and apportion taxes based on the vehicle and the miles that it drives, not based on the emissions the engine actually produces.

Whenever someone is ready to talk about the US EPA I think I am ready to have a chat. The EPA does not believe "It is your right to modify a vehicle you own" and has arbitrary punishments with no guidelines to follow to stay legal. It's a setup for failure. Almost everyone in the industry just puts money away to wait for the EPA mafia to come knocking, breath down your neck for a few years then you give them loads of money and they go away for a couple years if you are lucky. If you are unlucky they get access to your surveillance system, watch you for a few months, maybe mix in a little entrapment, then finally kick down the doors to your business (or home in some cases) put you and anyone in your shop in handcuffs, for more than 12 hours, scan their phones and throw a pizza party in your office. Topping it all off usually leave you only with conspiracy charges (still felony), sometimes little jail time or house arrest, but you are now a felon.


if you go hunting/fishing


an important one.. IMHO.. Time spent figuring out which taxes on to which amount you have to pay, tax laws everywhere in the world are particularly cumbersome, full of particular cases and forever changing. Moving goal posts all the time. That is a TAX on your time, your freedom and your peace of mind.
