Zelle, PayPal, Venmo etc

So I’m hearing that anyone getting more than $600 deposited using any of these platforms will be 1099’d at the end of the year. This was part of the infrastructure deal.

How did something like this get in there? All these billionaires have all the write offs but the little people selling used items on offer up now get dinged!

Texas needs a vasectomy law to prevent pregnancies

All men get reversible vasectomies. When they want to reproduce they can have it reversed with the signature of the woman who is willing to carry their seed.

Logical.

Need info re long term vaccine effects

I got into a discussion with my brother who is fully vaccinated. He was resentful that his daughter was forced by her college to get the jab. He said it violates her freedom and her bodily autonomy. He said long term it could affect her fertility chances.

Where does this come from? Is this made up BS? I am looking for any credible source for this and haven’t found a single thing. Brother is Republican and has a lot of Republican friends so my suspicion is that someone he respects told him they researched it.

I want to debunk this ASAP. But don’t know where to start. It’s so random.

I won't send my son to Afghanistan

We have dual citizenship and if he were drafted he’d be on the first flight out of here.

If I wouldn’t send my son I wouldn’t send anyone else’s either.

That’s not because I don’t care. It’s because I don’t believe we would make a difference. We can’t stay there forever.

Trump and Charles Manson

Manson was convicted of murder even though he himself killed no one.

If Manson could be a cult leader then why can’t Trump?

I believe Cheney and Kizinger (sp) are definitely in danger. Is that what it’s gonna take?

Can Biden make student loan interest 0%

This in itself would help all those people paying their student loans. Why should anyone profit off of our future? Education is an investment in the future workers of America!

The Bernie Factor ... coincidence or not?

I keep wondering something. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or just anecdotal. But I remember the Facebook Bernie or Bust arguments. Why is it that every single person I argued with back then was susceptible to the anti-Hillary Russian propaganda? And why did every one of them become a MAGAt?

I’m sick of this line in particular: I voted for Obama! Hillary stole the nomination. Trump is the only one who came along to destroy the system!

That’s it in a nutshell. I’m nit starting this to drag out the old anti or pro Bernie arguments. I want to understand what it is about these types of people that makes them so susceptible to the bullshit and lies.

We need a Truth in Reporting Law

Any station that is not directly reporting verified facts should have a disclaimer:

“The expressed opinions on this program are not verified.”

Both on the left and on the right. It should be announced before, during and after “news” shows like Hanity, Tucker Carlson and even Rachel Maddow. If something they say CAN be corroborated they should be allowed to make the claim it is corroborated, otherwise it’s opinion. And they should not be able to call their programs “news”.

Americans should demand a standard for what is allowed to be called “News”.

This should apply to internet, cable and radio.

Do 18 year olds get stimulus? _(ツ)_/

It was weird. I checked on line and it said we would receive ours direct deposit on the 17th.

Then low and behold a check was already in the mailbox? Weird!

The check was only for $2800. That’s for two people. My son turned 18 in January. I wonder if he will receive the direct deposit???

It will suck if he gets nothing. He needs it for college.
