I have not been on this forum since August. I am returning with another story to tell, and it reaffirms my MGTOW viewpoint, etching it in stone.
I am a professional Realtor. I served as a volunteer on my local Association’s Board of Directors in 2017. The Association had a woman CEO they had running the office for 11 years, and it became clear this year that too many financial irregularities and problems with the staff, and how she was treating the members she was serving that they voted to fire her.
The only problem is the board had no solution as to who would step in to take over in the interim and take control when they walked in and fired her. There were staff, and computer passwords, financial accounts, etc. to deal with. Plus there was a major legal program required to be completed by year-end, which the lady had not even started. This was one of many serious concerns, and the clock was ticking.
At the meeting where the decision to fire her was made, I looked around the table at the other members and I knew they all had families. I did not. I also had business experience and had bailed out companies before. I raised my hand. I volunteered to step in and fix everything, and give them time to hire a new CEO. The only conditions I made were that I be given the current CEO’s salary as I was not going to do this for free. Also, I would have to do this full time and put my own business on hold. They agreed.
A week later, a team of us arrived at the office. She was fired and I took over.
The project took me four months. In that time I straightened out all the accounts. Cut 30% of the budget. Cut over $70K in wasted money from redundant services, useless subscriptions and found thousands of dollars of overpaid services. I also found the place was being run with 35% delinquent accounts, and I put a staff member in charge to work on collections and got that number down to 4%. Long story short, I straightened out the financial accounts.
I also trained staff on customer relations and service, and built a website from scratch. On top of it all, I worked day and night and even weekends and completed the legal submission that was required to preserve the charter by the end of November.
During this time, I originally did not have the intention of applying for the job full time. Over the weeks, when the staff and membership saw the improvements, I was repeatedly asked to apply. Several board members encouraged me as well. I finally decided to do so, and submitted my resume.
The board President had appointed a hiring committee of 3 people. In retrospective, this should have been a major red flag. The hiring committee was chaired by a strong willed feminist, one indifferent man and another man who had just recovered from some serious health issues. I will give you one guess who ran the committee. Logic in retrospect would suggest that a larger committee of 5 or 7 members should have been appointed for such an important decision, so avoid corruption.
Out of 50 applicants, I was among the final three. I was the only man in the final group.
When the process started, I was told that two finalists would be submitted to the board for final interviews and voting, and the Board would conduct these interviews and make a selection. When the last interviews with the hiring committee came to me, I did not give it as much effort as I wrongly assumed that my production was going to be taken into account. After all, the changes were huge. The buzz among the members was enormous. They had never seen such efficiency in 20 years, and so much customer service. Plus the organization was growing and the books were now in the black. I had found new ways to make revenue that were untapped, and the staff were happy and winning at their jobs.
In the end this is what happened:
1) The hiring committee submitted just one candidate to the board for vote, not two.
2) The chairwoman of the hiring committee had written the letter of recommendation for the applicant who was finally chosen (Honest people would call that a conflict of interest. For example: It is one thing to have your kid to be on the team, and you decide to coach. It is quite another for you to assume the role as referee determining the outcome of the game your kid is playing in).
3) The board being given only one candidate hired the woman.
4) This woman has zero experience in real estate. However, they said she did a great interview.
5) I was asked to train this new hiree. My first reaction was: If she is so superior to me in skillset, why does she need training? In the end, I negotiated a large severance package and agreed to apprentice her for 3 months after deliberating with counsel.
6) The new hiree started, and she is the typical controlling woman who thinks she knows everything about organization. She also impresses me as a bit of an airhead.
7) A week after she started, I received a call from another man in the Association who had learned I had not been given the job, and he incorrectly assumed I had decided not to take it. I told him what happened, and he was shocked. He told me the purpose of his call was to tell me that he had worked at the prior company the woman who was hired had worked at, and she was fired for lack of follow-through with the organization after two years. I later learned one of the staff had called and inquired on her references independently, and discovered the same.
8) I have since learned that no one in the hiring committee called my references on my resume, nor could they have called the references of the candidate they hired, or they would have found out what I did.So in short, I spent 4 months saving an organization and in the end, I did not watch my blind spot and woman got control of the process and hired another woman with similar history to the one we fired.
The advisers I consulted with recommended I leave in good graces, and do what is asked simply because this new woman will likely crash and burn, and they will certainly reach out to me again. The only thing is, I no longer want the job, and would probably decline the offer. I am leaving as the board asked me to simply because I have integrity and do not need enemies within the association I am a part of. I also promised to fix things, and leave it in better condition, and I did this 100X better than they expected.
So a long story. Another MGTOW lesson for me. I will never do anything like this again. My plans are to open my own Realty company this year, and plan to actively recruit only men. My industry on a national level has shifted to 60% female. It is no surprise they have tentacles in every process now. I am going to become proactive on trying to change the playing field back in our favor again.
Topic: Dear Friends;
Dear Friends;
I never thought I’d end up paying for access but I feel like I need some support and long-term it’s going to be worth it! I see / read a lot of help and advice on here and I’d like to tell my story:
I’m going to be 27 next month. 2 Months ago (the week after her birthday) my GF of 8 years said she wanted to talk. We met in first year of university and it took her 12months to convince me to commit. I was VERY unsure and was happy dating multiple women.
I’d never been 100% about the relationship but she always showed me ‘love’ that I’d never really received before. It was never about money or gifts (We’d split everything). She just loved spending time with me no matter what – We lived together in final year then both went back home as I refused to get a flat together after we’d both finished education. (Too much commitment)
We previously lived about an hour and a half drive from each other. I would always drive to her but she would always split petrol. Just under 2 years ago, I got a job half an hour away from her and I relocated to my own flat. I didn’t just move for her, but was actively looking for better jobs in that area.
Back to the breakup 2 months ago:
Her: There was a time when I wanted us to have everything and I would have given anything to move in with you. I feel like we’ve been together so long and nothing has happened. I feel like I’m holding you back. Maybe the spark has gone…What do you think?
I think I’ve always known we weren’t perfect together and I’ve constantly asked myself over the years what I was getting from the relationship asides from sex. I was her support system. Yes we enjoyed each others company but what else did she offer? PLUS, I was getting sick of her OBSESSION with social media and the constant ‘NEED’ to text her work / girlfriends back INSTANTLY. This would happen even when we would be chatting on the phone or out for dinner… it was horrible and in hindsight VERY rude. I pulled her up on it many times..
ANYWAY. I played it cool. I agreed with her and said it was in our best interest to split up. I wasn’t going to grovel.
She texts me every few days. Are you okay? How you doing? Have a great Xmas. I really miss you this time of year. Who you out with? New year reminds me of what we used to do. etc ETC ETC. I ignore it all except some polite ‘Happy Xmas’, ‘Happy New Year’ replies.
I’ll be honest. I REALLY struggled. It wasn’t so much the romantic relationship I missed but the companionship. I’ve always been a very private person and it takes a long time for me to let people in. There’s a part of me that feels guilty for ‘letting her down’ because I genuinely care about her. There’s also a part of me that is pleased we’ve split up because DEEP DOWN I know it was the right decision. It’s just getting used to it…
Fast forward to Friday afternoon. I basically told her to stop texting me, friends isn’t going to work and to have a great life. I need to move on.
I’ve been strong throughout all of this but I still think about her a lot. I never called or txt her because I don’t want her back but i do miss her a lot. I cut off communication because I know that’s the best thing to do. I’m keeping myself busy. I’m very active and even in 2 months my career is on the up. I know it was right…but it’s hard.
Reading through some of these posts makes me think of all the lies and BS she fed me. “I’m holding you back”, “The spark has gone” etc etc. I’m guessing she just found a ‘better’ prospect and decided to move on. The fact she still lives at home and spends 90% of her income on clothes and alcohol isn’t my problem. (She has 75k from her grandad for a house deposit when she’s ready) At least I’ve confirmed I won’t be her plan B.
Thanks for listening brothers. I needed to talk to someone.
One chance, per woman, per lifetime. That’s what I’ve learnt from you guys. I will never go back to her. But I do miss her.
Appreciate your comments.

Protect Your Sovereignty. Women WILL TRY To Manipulate You. #NOCONTACT #ICETHEMOUTTired cliche still manages to smash my nuts…
That title should sum it up, but can’t come close. I’ll cover some of my unbetrothed’s witchery here in brief caveman sentences. You’ve heard it all before but this one is like an un-aired mini-series that takes place inside a B-movie that got dubbed into English for public access television.
One sheet:
Woman meets musician/composer via radio show. Woman seduces man, promises child. Man wants child, but must move to France though. Man sacrifices lifestyle, moves to RURAL France and becomes house husband, composer, and raises woman’s two pre-teen daughters, preparing to have another child. (Man performing classic wife’s role AND composing, building studio, setting up contracts, AND classic male house handyman-labourer role.)
Both work hard, both benefit. Woman’s job requires frequent travel, she gets promotions because she can focus on her job. Man becomes primary parent. Woman decides she doesn’t want another child after all. Man says WTF, that’s why I moved!?! Man focuses on his family commitments and career as he has just finished building a studio that cost 8000 euros in building materials alone. Man tries to make it work.
Man says he wants to start working in other studios and networking as was his original business plan. Wife suggests that is just to meet groupies. Man is like WTF?! Woman says, this family needs you here, we make enough money to support you while you develop products. Man asks woman to help with immigration paperwork. Woman refuses. Man asks woman to help with obtaining driver’s permit, woman refuses.
Woman begins drinking heavily, taking drugs, and lying compulsively. Man takes on additional roles as primary stable parent to provide proper guidance for her children. -Because someone needs to.
Meanwhile man has recorded 3 new songs and procured 5 music contracts with 5 different labels in 4 different countries in 3 year period. More contract offers arrive regularly. Not bad for a disenfranchised Mr Mom and handy man.
Enter the abuse.
Woman begins abusing man verbally and physically. Man suggests therapy, woman refuses. 2 1/2 years into 3 year marriage, man decides planned amicable divorce is the answer, but woman still refuses to help man get work permit or driver’s permit.
Woman simultaneously accuses man of being lazy AND spending too much time working on music career.
Man discovers MGTOW while reading about family self-help online. Reads stories, thinks they are extreme examples.
Man discovers woman has been stealing electricity for 15 years. Man is like WT holy F?!?
Man discovers woman committed insurance fraud and lied about a neighbor hitting her with his car. more wtf.
Man discovers that although woman has lived in same home for 25+ years she has no close childhood friends. red flag.
Man discovers that woman badmouths man in French thinking he doesn’t understand. too much to tolerate.
Woman begins imposing hostile female guests nearly every weekend and getting plastered drunk and belligerent.
Man is trying to plan personal escape.
Woman accuses man of being homosexual to make him feel awkward about hanging out his friends as he tries to network his way out of bad situation.
Woman makes up stories about man’s friends to make him doubt their authenticity.
Woman sabotages man’s jobs.
Finally when nothing else works and woman realizes she will have to help man move out and will probably have to compensate him while he finds work and relocates she gets p~~~ drunk, assaults him verbally and physically, leaves the house with the kids while wasted drunk, and plants false accusations of domestic abuse and child battery against man. Man has lacerations on stomach, cuts on face. Woman and child, no markings or injuries, claim they are traumatized psychologically by the event! They are stopped from work and school, I am investigated by police.
-Here’s where the patient reader should know.
I speak French about as well as a 4 to 5 year old child, at best.
Nightmare of legal defenses ensues.
Police see through false accusations and dismiss charges.
Woman then claims man is manufacturing drugs and modifying weapons. SERIOUSLY!
Swat team performs search and seizure in riot gear, El Chapo style.
I don’t speak French. This s~~~ is terrifying. I’m a music composer.
After police find nothing and leave, man searches house to make sure woman didn’t plant drugs or weapons.
Man discovers love letters addressed to woman in the house. then another, then another. A collection with dates that start 1 year after his marriage to woman. Shock, it’s one of her colleagues. 2 more love letters arrive by mail after wife has abandoned man in home without car, with bills, legal fees, no finances and no means to earn money. (composing is feast or famine work unless you are famous)
Woman empties, then separates from joint bank account that man only used to put gas in car and buy groceries. This makes him responsible party. Woman leaves automatic charges on account which immediately puts the account in a -1800 euros debt.
Woman then tells everyone that we know, that I am dangerous, violent and that she has been living like a prisoner for 3 years. Oh, and that I beat her and her kids regularly.
Reminder, I don’t speak French so defending myself socially is extremely difficult.
Nightmare revisited.
There is so much more….
I have now been in my wife’s family home living alone since her farce began, borrowing money to pay essential bills and buy survival food. I spent the holidays alone, poor. This has been going on for almost 6 months. The French legal system seems to think this is OK. Remember I am now an illegal immigrant, unable to earn income, ineligible for public assistance, with no car. And I barely speak French. F-ck French bureaucracy. Seriously.
Here’s the breakdown.
My wife is a devious lying whore as described. She was cheating on me the whole time. She seduced me as a trophy husband on a whim to trick me into becoming a live in nanny by lying about wanting a child with me. When she was done with the novelty of getting me to commit everything to the marriage she wanted to get rid of me cheaply.
Disgusting what lengths she went to in order to save a buck! I have lost nearly everything. My studio is packed in boxes. Fresh built studio, lost investment. 6 months lost in limbo! So embarrassing.
So I recommend maybe doing something like this…
I contacted our “enemies” with apology letters explaining what she had done. How I had been tricked into complicity and did not want to be associated with her in their minds. Through this I discovered that she has a history of mental illness and interpersonal conflict which she had hidden from me. That she does this sort of thing every few years. My neighbor told me she had done this at least three times since they have known her! I was just the “next” guy, the “American one” as they privately referred to me.
I contacted child protective services and explained how she had been mistreating us. I contacted the insurance company she defrauded. I contacted the electric company. I contacted all of her enemies and began offering to help “bring her down” so she couldn’t keep abusing people. I explained that if no one stopped her she would keep finding new victims every few years.
It’s working! Turns out a LOT of people hate and avoid her for good reason. They thought I was “on her team” and wisely avoided me as well. Things are changing slowly for me.
She is now under federal investigation for insurance fraud. She attacked her daughter at school since the separation and the school headmaster also called CPS. 2 simultaneous unrelated CPS investigations… She will probably also be charged for electricity theft this year. ouch… that’s a karma kick to the crotch.
Her ex husband, whom I am now friends with is in the process of getting custody of his daughter back. This makes me happy, he’s a pretty cool guy, and was also a victim of nearly identical treatment and lost his child because of her gamesmanship.
Best of all, if I can survive a few more months I’ll probably be awarded significant damages for all of the things she’s done. I won’t be homeless, or have to start over from zero. That’s massive!
Believe it or not I left many bad things she did out. It’s probably better to keep the story as simple as possible.
Now I recommend this>
No matter who you are going to marry or partner with hire a private investigator to do a thorough background check.
Follow your dreams, but follow your gut. Protect your neck.
——> Don’t marry <—–
You can still have rewarding relationships and children without marriage.
Stay true to your convictions and persevere.
Respect yourself and retain your dignity.
When the s~~~ hits the fan, don’t get angry, get tactical.
Burn the witch, warm your hands by the fire then give yourself a cold beer and move on.

A Stop at Willoughby
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Stop_at_Willoughby
Gart Williams is a contemporary (c. 1960) New York City advertising executive who has grown exasperated with his career. His overbearing boss, Oliver Misrell, angered by the loss of a major account, lectures him about this “push-push-push” business. Unable to sleep properly at home, he drifts off for a short nap on the train during his daily commute through the November snow.
He wakes to find the train stopped and his car now a 19th-century railway car, deserted except for himself. The sun is bright outside, and as he looks out the window, he discovers that the train is in a town called Willoughby and that it’s July 1888. He learns that this is a “peaceful, restful place, where a man can slow down to a walk and live his life full measure.” Being jerked back awake into the real world, he asks the conductor if he has ever heard of Willoughby, but the conductor replies, “Not on this run…no Willoughby on the line.”
That night, he has another argument with his shrewish wife Jane. Selfish, cold and uncaring, she makes him see that he is only a money machine to her. He tells her about his dream and about Willoughby, only to have her ridicule him as being “born too late”, declaring it her “miserable tragic error” to have married a man “whose big dream in life is to be Huckleberry Finn.”
The next week, Williams again dozes off on the train and returns to Willoughby where everything is the same as before. As he is about to get off the train carrying his briefcase, the train begins to roll, returning him to the present. Williams promises himself to get off at Willoughby next time.
Experiencing a breakdown at work, he calls his wife, who abandons him in his time of need. On his way home, once again he falls asleep to find himself in Willoughby. This time, as the conductor warmly beckons him to the door, Williams intentionally leaves his briefcase on the train. Getting off the train, he is greeted by name by various inhabitants who welcome him while he tells them he’s glad to be there and plans to stay and join their idyllic life.
The swinging pendulum of the station clock fades into the swinging lantern of a train engineer, standing over Williams’ body. The 1960 conductor explains to the engineer that Williams “shouted something about Willoughby”, before jumping off the train and was killed instantly. Williams’ body is loaded into a hearse. The back door of the hearse closes to reveal the name of the funeral home: Willoughby & Son.

Night Call
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Call
n elderly woman, Elva Keene (Gladys Cooper), receives strange anonymous phone calls in the middle of a stormy night. During the first calls she hears only static. Later she hears a man moaning and she repeatedly demands to know who is calling. Finally he says “Hello? Where are you? I want to talk to you.” Elva, terrified, screams at the man to leave her alone.
The phone company traces the calls to a telephone line that has fallen in a cemetery.
Elva and her housekeeper visit the cemetery where she finds that the line is resting on the grave of her long-deceased fiancé, Brian Douglas. Elva says that she always insisted on having her own way, and Brian always did what she said. Brian died a week before they were to be married. That day, she insisted on driving, lost control of the car and hit a tree. The accident crippled her and caused Brian to fly headfirst into the windshield, killing him.
Now that she can talk to him again she won’t have to be alone. At home she picks up the phone and calls out to Brian’s ghost, pleading with him to answer. He replies that she told him to leave her alone and that he always does what she says. Then the line goes dead, leaving Elva alone and crying in her bed.

A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Short_Drink_from_a_Certain_Fountain
Harmon Gordon, a wealthy old man married to a much younger woman, is exhausted by his wife Flora’s youthful and selfish lifestyle. Seeking to keep up the pace, he asks his scientist brother Raymond to inject him with an experimental youth serum. Raymond firmly refuses at first, saying that the serum has had mixed results even in laboratory animals and won’t be ready for testing on humans without decades of refining. Moreover, he abhors Flora for her callous treatment of his brother, and is not enthusiastic about any step to strengthen their marriage. However, when Harmon suggests he will commit suicide rather than lose Flora, his brother reluctantly agrees to administer the serum.
At his brother’s instructions, Harmon rests after taking the serum. He wakens to find himself a young man, to Flora’s surprised delight. However, before Harmon can enjoy his new youth, the regression continues, and hours later he has become a toddler. Flora tries to leave, but Raymond says she must stay and raise the infant Harmon or be cut off from Harmon’s fortune. He threatens to take legal action against her if she abandons the child. Finding a stroke of poetic justice in what has happened, Raymond points out that by the time Harmon has regained adulthood, his position with Flora will be reversed, with Flora being old.

Anyone think this would be allowed on network TV these days?
I’ve finally made account after being lazy enough and went Galt. I figure this website is worth the $10 dollars every month.
Introduction:
I’ve always been single, always will be single, never wanted kids; and never wanted to get married. At most, I just craved female validation for a short time, but even that passed. I’ve been a long life celibate and will always be one. I never acted on my urge to have sex and never will.
I do have a fleshlight; and in the future I also plan on getting a sex doll like Turd Flinging Monkey has. They’re made with such high quality these days that if you have a high sex drive like I have, they’re worth every penny. Coupled with a VR headset and porn, they’re a godsend.
As far as my life circumstances are, I make $600 dollars every month working part time. It’s not much, but because I don’t waste my money on thots and kids, I have enough money left over for all of my entertainment needs, car notes, insurance, and gas.
I’m still living with my parents and doubt I’ll ever move out; or if I do decide to move out, it’ll most likely be 10 or so years from now. Plus, my parents don’t want me to move out; mainly because they’re elderly and need my help around the house. So win-win.
I’m working on becoming a Code Monkey, because software develop has always appealed to me. I don’t have any experience as it is; so my plan for the next 5 years or so is to teach myself programming. I already have a degree, but I’m not getting anywhere with it with my lack of experience. I also don’t want to go back to school, because I f~~~ing hate college environments, so I figured this was the next best thing.
As far as my social life is concerned, I don’t have much of one. At most, I larp on the weekends at my local parks and play Dungeons and Dragons afterwards. I usually hate socializing, but I force myself to for a few days out of the week anyway, in order to better my social skills.
I usually just spend my days studying, running errands, helping my parents around the house, binge watch anime, or play video games. If you can stand to live with your parents like I can, it’s the best financial move you can make now a days.
Plus, they don’t care what I do while I’m living with them. I’m more like a roommate than their kid at this point, which is awesome.
The only person at this point who cares if I’m a MGTOW or not in my household is my dad. Every now and then he nags me that I should get married, have kids, or at the very least, date, but I keep telling him no and he gets the point. At least somewhat.
But, as far as my life goes, it’s f~~~ing awesome. I get to do what I want, when I want. I don’t have to pay rent, utilities, or groceries. I don’t have to worry about kids, marriage, or committed relationships.
I get to spend my money the way I want; and the only time I spend on helping others are my parents. Oh, did I mention I have the master bedroom in my house because of the way my parents sleep? Another bonus.
I may have been a late bloomer in regards to getting my life together, but in the end, it all worked out. In the future, I do eventually plan on moving out, but I see no need to right now. In fact, if I ever do move out, it’ll take me about a decade or more.
I’m 26 years old. While others look down at my status, I’m constantly improving it through my own knowledge while they’re wasting it on women and kids. Hell, some don’t even f~~~ing have cars and have to constantly ask for rides and they say my situation is bad? Ha!
The MGTOW lifestyle is the best lifestyle of them all.
It is getting so ridiculous that the feminists are making idiotic, demeaning, condescending demands of their supposed male feminists. Not enough you are a beta cuck mangina for them, march and wear pussy hats for them, nope, now you better spill some of your own privileged man blood for them and become 3rd class citizens or else.
Link to the stupid ass article, in case you want to see how they are turning on the bluepills that are on their side. I expect some, a small percentage, will be unable to swallow this horses~~~ and make their way off the plantation.
Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.
There is nothing more entertaining than formerly attractive post Wall women trying to recover their glory days.
This Hive recently set up one of my contacts with a member of the top 1% of the 1% ruling elite of America. My post Wall informant was giddy over the prospects of her potential kill, and it became very difficult to even hold a normal conversation with her such was her spew. Her Hamster was fantasizing of having a Gulfstream at her beck and call along with the other perks of the jet set life. Her Hive was seething with jealousy and anticipation over the wallets she could potentially recruit for the Hive. It was quite disgusting and a perfect validation test of red pill theory for me.
After weeks of anticipation, the day finally arrived for her to consummate her “relationship”. She even made plans to move to the city where he lives. Before she left, she told me she was working on something huge and would tell me all about it when she returned. Someone was counting her chickens before they hatched.
After she returned, she was extremely euphoric but very quickly began to backpedal. Eventually, ol’ C-Pig managed to get her to tell him what really happened. The gentleman gave her a good solid pump-n-dump and told her he was married after he was done with her. To her credit, she declined his generous offer to be his side f~~~. After she told me, my only words were “I hope you didn’t get an STD.”.
I love The Wall.
Topic: A Poem Of Sorts
a child was born
and his mother cried.
she feared he would be sent to war.
years passed by and the child became a man,
and he found he was taught lies.
lies that women were soft and kind
and were the gentle sex.
the tasmanian devil he married
went crazy and decided to to wreck,
the family they started
with no regard for child or himself.
the truth was soon revealed ,
as the police restrained his hands.
that woman he loved did not love him back,
he was used to pay the bills.
the truth was hard to bear at first,
he found it was called red pills.
.
freedom came to him at last,
no longer did he care.
the thoughts of others bothered him not,
his opinions were not theirs.
.
beauty was only skin deep
he heard that one before.
the truth was forced upon his mind
as she took their child out the door.
.
the courts and judges did not care
what happened to this man.
he had to disregard despair,
and come up with a plan.
.
take the higher road he thought ,
it’s traveled far far less.
forgive her for the pain she caused,
the result was indifference.
.
his strength returned
his eyes grew sharp,
no longer believing the lies.
the lies of a lifetime that seem so long ago,
a solitary figure rised.
.
and so the tale of just one man can benefit the rest.
he went his own way
and learned to forgive
the higher ground was his.
.
a man who now lives in a world,
above them
in his prime.
humble and compassionate.
this story brothers is mine.
.
each day brings a new chance to further perfect,
the life that he now leads.
with a child to teach and show how to live,
the higher ground for that child to reach.
.
defender of truth and lover of life,
no woman will again betray.
and he will stand till final breath,
to meet God on judgement day.
.
peace be upon you all my brothers…

…later…!!!Well, the Republican tax bill [has passed]. You know the basics: it cuts corporate taxes permanently but cuts individual taxes only temporarily. It’s a pretty good deal for rich people, not so great for the middle class.
You may also know that we dodged some bullets. The tax on grad students got axed, for example. Likewise, Congress got cold feet at the last second about eliminating the Johnson Amendment, which bans churches from engaging in political activity.
But there are also some less savory provisions of the tax bill that you may not have heard of. Some of them have been there all along, while some got added at the last minute. Here’s a few of them:
Chained CPI
Republicans decided to use a new measure of inflation called chained CPI to calculate tax brackets. The problem is not that chained CPI is a lousy measure of inflation—it’s actually perfectly good—but that it works properly only if everything is measured using chained CPI. But everything isn’t. What this means in the real world is that people will get moved into higher tax brackets faster than before, and this will cost them a lot of money. Here’s the estimate from the Joint Committee on Taxation:

The JCT only projects things for ten years, but I’ve added projections for the next decade after that since chained CPI is a gift that keeps on giving. And it’s worth noting just how insidious this is. For the next few years no one will notice what’s happening because the impact is small and it’s covered up by the individual tax cuts in the bill. But those expire in eight years, just as the chained CPI provision really starts to pick up steam. This means that only after 2025 will middle-class taxpayers get hit with the full cost of the chained CPI provision. By 2037 it amounts to more than $100 billion, or roughly $1,000 per household.
So who wanted this, anyway? It’s been a Republican hobbyhorse for years as a stealth way of raising money to pay for tax cuts. This year, they finally did it.
Real-Estate Partnerships
At the last minute, a provision was added that dramatically reduced taxes on certain kinds of real-estate partnerships. Why? Sen. John Cornyn, who’s in charge of rounding up support for Republican bills, said it was inserted in order to “cobble together the votes we needed to get this bill passed.”
So who wanted this, anyway? That’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer. So far, no one has taken credit for this provision, but apparently it was added by Cornyn himself. As for who it benefits, the obvious answer is that it benefits anyone with large real-estate interests. For example, one of the votes that Cornyn needed to “cobble together” came from Sen. Bob Corker, who was dead set against the tax bill because it increased the deficit, but then suddenly changed his mind after this provision was added. By coincidence, the new rules will likely save him millions of dollars in taxes on his real-estate empire.
Anyone else of note? Well, there’s the guy who has to sign the tax bill into law: Donald Trump. It’s going to save him a bundle.
Carried Interest
This is not something that was added to the bill, but something that wasn’t. Like a zombie that just won’t die, the carried-interest loophole has survived yet again—despite the fact that President Trump campaigned repeatedly on eliminating it. Hedge fund billionaires across the country breathed another sigh of relief.
So who wanted this, anyway? Hedge funds and private equity managers, primarily. Despite Trump’s big talk, in the end no one wanted to anger folks who have billions of dollars in ready cash available for political contributions.
Alimony
Alimony payments are no longer deductible. This is, fundamentally, a tax on divorce (explanation here).
So who wanted this, anyway? Maybe evangelicals, who think divorce is sinful? It’s something of a mystery, since this provision raises only a pittance. In any case, it’s going to cost a bunch of middle-class ex-couples a lot of money.
Estate Tax
The estate tax exemption was raised to $11 million per person or $22 million per couple. You probably knew that. But there’s more.
First, that exemption amount is now indexed to inflation. When it comes to things like the minimum wage, Republicans flatly refuse to consider inflation indexing. But for millionaires and their heirs? Why of course we have to index.
Second, the bill provides a truly massive and inexplicable gift to heirs of the rich. Suppose you inherit some Apple stock that’s increased in value from $1 million to $30 million. Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign tax plan would have exempted the first $22 million, but then you’d have to pay capital gains taxes on the remaining $8 million. In other words, you had to pay taxes on something. Not anymore, though. Not only has the estate tax been eliminated for estates under $22 million, but the Republican bill keeps the current “step-up” law, which means assets are automatically revalued upon death and no capital gains taxes are due. If dad sells off his holdings himself, he has to pay capital gains on the profit. But if he dies and you sell it, you’re free and clear. Even the biggest proponents of killing the estate tax never imagined a gift this brazen.
So who wanted this, anyway? You don’t have to ask, do you? This has been an obsession of the ultra-wealthy for decades. They have long loathed the fact that they can’t control their fortunes even in death, and they loathe it even more that the federal government will get a cut of their hard-earned riches. With this tax bill, they have almost reached their goal of eliminating not just the estate tax, but taxes of any kind on their accumulated wealth.
37% tax rate for millionaires
At the last minute, Republicans decided that the super-rich deserved more of a break than they were already getting: the tax rate on income over $1 million was cut from 39.6 percent to 37 percent. Just for the record, an income of $1 million puts you above the top 1 percent. It’s somewhere around the top 0.3 percent.
So who wanted this, anyway? Rich people. Duh.
Topic: The married ones
Back in 2015 I started a job as a security guard at a pharmaceutical plant. I had a couple strange experiences with married women there. I never talked to anybody, but their weird body language was telling me something else…
When I went to get a drink on my first day this lady was working. As soon as I went to pay she was smiling and acting all flirty. When I said thanks she said no, thank you. Not sure if this meant anything, but to me it was strange. There was also other times when she walked by she stared at me for long times walking by. And pretty sure I was being stalked (joke) as I seen her almost every place I was shopping at. Either way it was weird.
I had an encounter with another one there. When I had to phone her about a package being delivered she sounded very excited to talk to me and was trying to make small talk. I just kept it professional and said that her mail was there. She then proceeded to try to talk me at the desk but I kept it simple. Later on during the day I had to shop for sandwich meat and I seen her at the deli. She walked by once. I didn’t really pay attention to her, I just wanted to get the hell out of there. Again she walked by. Third time she did it again. Forth time she stood in line beside me. I finally just left because the line was taking long and just walked by her without looking. When I looked back to see the line, she gave me this p~~~ed off look like I was supposed to talk to her. Whatever.
Another one tried to invite me over to her house when I was working. I knew she was married and said to her “What would you husband think?” and responded “he won’t be home.” I told her no thanks. I got another p~~~ed off look.
Another one was with my friends fiance. She wanted to dance with me at a social for some reason… She was drunk and I kept saying no I don’t want to but persisted. She also told me she liked me more than my friends. Whatever that meant.
This is proof that women today aren’t faithful in a marriage. They see flirting as nothing. And I avoided it.
What people call "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. Your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle. Rise above. Focus on science.
