The vast majority of high school sports teams aren't coming anywhere close to a profit. Your experience is unusual, which answers your question: > why do people constantly ignore this.

I’m not sure why you won’t acknowledge that a tax that affects domestic and foreign companies equally is not protectionist. But here we are. I’m not saying that taxes don’t have an impact on the economy, or the business environment, or grow

My place hasn’t changed at all. Everything I’ve said is internally consistent. You are welcome to view any form of taxation as an impediment to “free trade” but that’s not how competition works. Feel free to continue believing that taxation

I’m saying the VAT is not protectionist.

How is it protectionist if the European companies also pay it? You are arguing about rules that apply to all companies competing in Europe and then extrapolating that to say that “American companies competing in Europe” are mistreated.

American companies pay VAT in Europe. European companies pay VAT in Europe. American companies do not pay VAT in in the US. European companies do not pay VAT in the US. American companies pay sales tax in the US. European companies pay sale

1) EU businesses have to deal with complicated sales tax arrangements that vary by state and municipality. 2) EU businesses have to operate in their own environment and also face the VAT. There is no protectionism here. The playing field wi

>That's another way of saying you don't think there should be reforms. It won't happen. Because the people's representatives will get in the way? The pesky checks and balances of democracy?

There is a difference between thinking that the front-end ecosystems are terrible to work in and thinking that they are unimportant.

Those people also believe that LGBT people aren't "good people." Why shouldn't we return the favor? What special rights? The right to not get thrown in jail for being gay?

Exponential growth. Lets say that there is one delta infection and one omicron infection in the population. Each delta infection causes two more people to be infected, while each omicron infection causes three more people to be infected. Th

HIV does not have anywhere close to a 100% fatality rate anymore, everything about this comment is just completely inflammatory and misinformed. Plus if a vaccine existed for it gay men would take it in a heartbeat.

Two things. One, the rules are already on the books, they just haven’t been enforced. Two, offense is down significantly across the league. MLB needs to do something to level the playing field or fans will lose interest. Pitching duels can
