  • The scenes in the isolation chamber in underwear applying gel to each other were totally unnecessary

    I thought so at the time but later realized that was a key scene of the whole entire show. You missed a lot of the nuance. That was where T’pol developed her crush on Trip. Her crush on Trip was the only reason she became the first Vulcan to be able to stay aboard a human ship for longer than a few weeks. And T’pol’s presence on the ship advising Archer was what made Archer so successful in laying the groundwork of the entire federation.






  • That’s just punishing people at the top of the working class. Doctors, lawyers, etc.

    Nope. First of all taxes are not “punishment”. Right wing propagandists use that word because they never get common sense feedback from ordinary people who immediately notice how ridiculous that word sounds. 2nd, nobody is pushing for a 91% top rank on doctors and lawyers. It is what we need for billionaire elites. And actually I think that the top rate of 75% we had before Reagan would be fine.

    The truly rich would be fine. They don’t pay income tax, they live off of capital gains.

    Income taxes consists of taxes on earned income and unearned income (e.g. capital gains). Billionaires do not earn their income so yes most of their income is “unearned income”. When we set the rate for billionaires we need not distinguish between earned income and unearned income.
