He just couldn't bear the thought that someone else was considered "better" than him in some way. What a dip****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is partly unfair, yes. There are plenty of old rich white men of good character and competency out there. But one of Trump's myriad problems is that when he measures the worthiness of a man, wealth is at the top of his list. Little else matters after that. Money is the way he keeps score in life.

Shall we start putting a list together of failed/corrupt/bad governments and attribute it to their race?

The Evil Genius Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Not that many in WV would help. They've been to busy blaming everyone else for the past 20 years. Which is why Trump is so popular there. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I bought my fiance's ring when I did. That's a several hundred dollar hit I do not need. Funny how online stuff works. If we bought the ring in the physical store in Georgetown, it was like 400 more than if I ordered it to be delivered from my couch 10 miles south in Shirlington. So yes, probably the right decision but dang did I enjoy it while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 It does put the onus on online retailers because many addresses have different tax rates as little as 1/8% difference between them even if they are in the same county/state. Coding the checkout process to account for those differences (for mom/pop sellers online) will probably be a burden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon has already been collecting sales tax. It's third party sellers are the ones who will be impacted. I wonder if this impacts my books on Amazon? Will people who buy A Halo of Mushrooms or A Climbing Stock suddenly be taxed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if ebooks fall into that realm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corcaigh Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Gonna get to the checkout process and the online retailer is going to tell you that "We can't sell you that because we don't know how to calculate tax for the town of Bumb****, VA." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, the solution that would be best for society would be a federal law (interstate commerce clause) mandating that mail order/online retailers are responsible for determining the STATE of the shipping address, and collecting the appropriate tax, but don’t have to know every single city limit.
