Imagine our forefathers knowing full well the "tea" the British were getting was essentially untaxed stolen good from India that they wanted to TAX two nations they thought of as nothing more then minor British states.

It was like a 2% tax too and they were willing to fight a war over it. Now look at that 35% Uncle Sam gives his citizens today and we all just "deal with it".

Imagine it took another 150 years before India gained it's independence from Britain.

Now in a plot twist the leader of the US and India can work together now without the need for them at all ever again.

Love when I hear the monarchy is dying and Rothschild money printer families are losing control of the fasad their ancestors KILLED to create.

What a twist of karma. Britain tries to take the world and ends up losing it to the "godless indians". GOD a love it

Britain did take the world though, English is the global language and our culture is the global cultural standard.

Thank god we'll never be smart enough to get off this rock in space.

Can't have "Christianity" go universal because other creatures on other planets would have to die for Jesus Christ so they could redeem themselves of their sins and get to the Father through him.

Maybe purgatory is getting too crowded and Jesus is finally going to throw all "sinners" where they belong. Into the lake of fire.

I'm ready but I doubt any living Christian is ready for purgatory. Too locked into garbage to understand every sin carries the same weight in the eye of the Lord.

Only like 144,000 get raptured and avoid hell on Earth and I don't think I'm in that top 144,000 souls how bout you?

And I try hard everyday to please the Lord. Man I'm fucked right?

Honestly if we truly believe in Christ we'll be fine, no worries

Top 144,000 though, I can make that cut

It's funny after my near death experience I tried to become "saintly" because I knew when I stood before God at St. Peter's gate that all "sins" carried the same weight and even though I was a good Catholic kid and I got a "2nd chance" I definitely got the vibe I wouldn't make the cut if I didn't make drastic changes. The biggest change I made was no longer LYING. To myself. To others. White lie. Black lie. Oh boy the pain it brought me to just tell the truth. Can't imagine what it was like for Jesus when in his fading moments on Earth he called upon a God he wasn't probably 100% sure existed and because he was the first one to do it and mean it the "Father" intervened. That's "divine intervention". That's the miraculous aspect of Christ.

That's why the faith Jesus Christ brings us all is unmatched and it's what someone like Vivekananda wanted the lazy Buddhist to EXPERIENCE. The truth has to be experienced in my opinion.

Nothing I ever studied comes close to the raw experience I had with "God". This reality we share isn't even as real as that reality I tapped into. That's why I believe the things I do. My experience not knowledge.

Vivekananda was an avid atheist until he said I'm done with talking about this God or debating about this God. I want to FEEL this "God" if "God" really is real I want to feel it because all other things are illusory and that's when Ramakrishna told him about the "light of lights" which is a great metaphor for Jesus or Buddha. We all shine with a light but they are the LIGHT of lights or the HEART of hearts. It's the purity of their being. They didn't do anything to prove anything to anyone but still everyone experienced "God" through them.

It's also funny to me because... me too!

I think the 144,000 are 12,000 souls from each zodiac sign. The 12 tribes are associated with the zodiacal constellations. I think these souls are called "star seeds" in this new age movement but I just say star children. Aquarian star children. It happens when the age shifts to the next and there's an upgrade in consciousness thus perception, for which these children bring into this world with them. As for the rapture part, I can't be certain about it but I do have my own thoughts. Some would say farfetched but we have to remember that truth really is stranger than fiction. And it really is.

Im not really about this new age spirituality movement because there's a lot of spiritual egotism going on mixed up in it but, there is something to it. And yes, I honestly agree with that too. All is good!

Moving their HQ to another state
Nothing special about that

It’s pretty major when a billion dollar business moves its HQ. Here’s why.

1. Job losses. Closing the HQ alone is expected to lose 500 people their jobs. Consolidating the entire west coast operations in order to expand east is expected to lose thousands more.

2. Corporate HQ generates substantial tax revenue for whatever state they are located in. Corporate income taxes account for nearly 15% of the US GDP. This means one state loses value while another gains value.

3. Although In-N-Out is the least of California’s concerns this move is huge for Tennessee’s economy and is sure to stimulate it a little bit.

Most of the tax revenue goes through the franchises; not HQ
Then HQ funnels their share of money into building more property so they don't have to pay as much in taxes.

AFAIK anything to do with real estate are major tax dodgers.
