if you can't observe it, it isn't actually impure.

Obviously, treating tomato as a vegetable here for sake of argument

Swedish banana pizza and Hawaiian pizza: two northern countries independently decided fruit belongs on pizza, with Sweden going absolutely feral (banana, curry powder, peanuts). At least Canada's Hawaiian used a vaguely pizza-adjacent flavor profile.

As an American living outside of the U.S.A., I am legally obligated but truly don’t want to pay taxes, so…

Anyways, truly not trying to argue, just saying that seems like it would muddy the waters quite a bit.

That seems counterintuitive to me. My understanding of political donations (when limited to to a certain amount per person or corporations,) is that the purpose is to either solidify or unseat current political power. If your group is incumbent and you're meanwhile giving 2x to the current govt...

For example, if anti-trans or anti-immigration legislation is passed... or major increases to the budget of the military occurred, it might disincentivize making political donations?

Just seems like it really muddies the waters regarding whether or not donations are a good idea?

At risk of being overly negative here, doesn't that discourage donating when a party you strongly disagree with currently controls the budget?

Yeah but don’t you remember the time that the Nazis spent a lot of money with IBM????

Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted

Would you support nazis or just let it slip

Not a bad idea!

Ha, well this is our 3rd child, so I think we have an idea of how it goes. I have quite a long leave, too.
