Right there with you. I had to fully encapsulate my mattress (which was a brand new memory foam), spray poison all over everything, then heat treat the entire room until my blinds melted.....TWICE!
My wife still freaks out if she sees a spot of dirt on the sheets, and that all happened 7 years ago.
Monopoly busting, hell yes!! All the other ideas come from people who were unlucky enough to have nothing passed down to them.
I am sorry for your situation, but my father worked his ass off to leave me and my siblings something (it was meager compared to most I'm sure but it helped me out immensely when I needed a leg up), but blanket laws like this would have royally screwed me just because "well I didn't inherit anything from my parents, so NOBODY ELSE SHOULD EITHER!!" mentality.
So long as they are helping the "downtrodden"* it's ok to see the numbers differently?
I have studied statistics. In my studies I learned that numbers do not lie, people lie. And, as was stated before, people can manipulate numbers to match their narrative.
I've seen studies published as "fact" just because the author manipulated the numbers to match their findings.
This is what we should base our outlook on?
*in this instance, "downtrodden" refers to the person or group deemed savable by those who are looking to be a savior.
What I can't stand is that responsible gun owners (yes, the number of responsible gun owners far outweigh the number of irresponsible gun owners), use suppressors as a safety measure. Suppressors are a form of PPE so that you don't blast out your ear drums in the event of having to discharge your weapon in close quarters. It's still pretty loud, but you will still have your senses intact. Very important in high stress situations.
But Hollywood has given suppressors this reputation that they make it easy for anyone to stealthily move around a building murdering people without anyone noticing. IT'S A FAKE! That's movie shit!
As is the case in many areas, Hollywood is the reason we can't have nice things!
Why is Mr. Rogers' cat lecturing me about economics?!
Daniel Tiger certainly seems to have become jaded by today's political climate.
