The next great idea to screw over people under the Biden administration
From Bloomberg News:
The Argument to Tax Work-From-Home Benefits
Choosing to earn a living from home once the pandemic ends is a privilege that you should pay for, according to strategists from Deutsche Bank AG’s research arm.
“Working from home will be part of the ‘new normal’ well after the pandemic has passed,” the strategists led by Luke Templeman wrote in a note. “We argue that remote workers should pay a tax for the privilege.”
The team propose a 5% levy for those who work from home on a regular basis and not because of a government lockdown mandate. Such a measure could raise $48 billion a year in the U.S. and about 16 billion euros ($18.8 billion) in Germany, they say, to fund subsidies for low-income earners and essential workers who are unable to work remotely.
Fuck you, you socialist redistributive mother fuckers.
Work from home was thrust upon us. Some business discovered it was a cost savings to reduce infrastructure and let employees work from home on a more permanent basis.
Now a major bank wants you to pay for the privilege of your employer deciding its cheaper for him to let you log on from home than provide you with office space.
What about people like my wife who worked from home because the schools and daycare were closed? Should we pay for that?
Fuck this idea and everyone who came up with it. Fuck any politician who tries to implement it.
“After making you work from home and getting you used to it, we’re going to tax you for it.”
If they try I really think this will make a lot of people go all Boston Tea Party on the Fed.
Lincoln vs. The Lincoln Project
“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”
Abraham Lincoln, 1865.

The Lincoln Project, 2020
The Lincoln Brigade and their great-grandchildren: The Lincoln Project.
I can tell I am getting old when the speed of my memories can be measured by Pony Express. So the last day, we were talking about the lefties from Lincoln Project and their latest idiocy: To interfere with members of the court (a federal felony) just because they work for Trump.
There was a faint warning buzz way in the back of my head, but it was not till this morning that the full message arrived. You see, back in the 1930s when Fascists’ and Communists decided to use Spain as their warfare playground for their political bull-crap, there was a group of Americans Communists that got infected with the virus of “saving the Spanish People” and went overseas to fight with the “Rojillos” (Reds) . And what was the name they decided to use?
The Lincoln Brigade.
According to history, they excelled in the battlefield as bullet catchers and if they were not starving and freezing to death, they were in a constant state of retreat while getting their asses kicked. But by the time the Spanish Civil War was over and before the dust and smoke cleared, Hitler had become the evil asshole we all know. So saying that you fought against the Nazi fascists in Spain, brought a measurement of fame, specially since the true evils of Communism were still being hidden to the World.
If anything, you have to give it to the Reds then and now: They love to hide behind the name of Lincoln to advance their agendas. But then again guess where George Orwell learn how much big assholes the Communists were: Fight on their side in the Spanish Civil War
Hahaha, f**k ’em. Minneapolis police edition.
From the Daily Mail:
Minneapolis is scrambling to draft in cops from outside the city’s force to help fight a wave of violent crime just months after it began moves to defund its police.
The city is pleading for reinforcements from the sheriff’s office and the transit authority to help respond to a surge in violent 911 calls.
Why would they volunteer to jump into that shit storm? They know the city won’t back them.
It comes after dozens of officers quit the force in protest at a $1million budget cut and promises from city leaders to scrap the entire department following the death of George Floyd in May.
Since then, violent crime in the city has soared – with homicide, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft and arson all up on last year’s figures.
Who didn’t see that coming? Except for utopian Progressives who don’t live in the real world.
In July, the city council voted to move $1.1million from the police department’s budget and fund ‘civilian violence interrupters’ instead.
The ‘well-trained and unarmed’ staff are designed to ‘mediate violent conflicts and help prevent further trouble’.
Really effective guys at preventing crime. Bang up job.
That decision let to a 54% increase in homicide, 20% increase in violent assault, and 25% inclined robbery.
The Minnesota Freedom Fighters was formed in late May after the NAACP chapter in the city’s north, predominantly black, neighborhood put out a call for residents to help protect small businesses from violence, fires and looting.
A group of about two dozen men gathered and have patrolled the streets since, carrying AR-15s and Glocks and wearing tactical vests and bandannas.
They have been welcomed by the city, who called their actions ‘commendable’.
When there are no cops you’re on you’re own.
I will say: Leftist standards are so high they’re double.
If a bunch of armed white guys was patrolling the neighborhood, they would be called the Klan. They already do that to open carry protesters.
Defund the Police has failed everywhere it’s been tried. It’s the zenith of limousine liberal, rich white Progressive, soft bigotry of low expectations pandering.
Minneapolis made it’s bed, now it has to sleeping in it. Fuck ’em.
