"Thats not how law making currently works though"
Yes things would need to change but if law makers had the public interest in mind, things would move much faster.
Single issue bills can also be decided on faster
The idea you're scared of is a benefit to "their" system. Less gets passed, less change.
Perfection is the enemy of progress.
Tax 99% of them and then introduce another bill to tax the ones starting with "E".
You could pass the bill and then do another bill to fix the other issues.
I'm against pork in bills and feel like they should not contain more than one issue. But it is all designed that way for a "reason". Don't like the idea of a bill, well add some pork and now you can be against that.

For this one thing yeah the small fraction of inflation wouldn't probably be noticeable. But you cannot do it for everything or every fraction adds up to a bunch.
Why do you think it's just a couple "Democrats" changing sides or caving when Republicans need them to?
They are playing good cop/bad cop but they are both cops.
Sure maybe 49% of Democrats might have the best intentions but along as Republicans stand strong with their 51% they control basically everything.
It's naive to think that the rich controls everything except for the Democratic party. They do a lot of work to make it look like they don't own the good cop.

Company A gets 1k. 1k is revenue.
Company A spends 1K at Company B. 1k is expense.
Company A has made 0 profit. 0 taxes.
Now if Company A owns Company B did it really lose 1k?
This is how money laundering works. More money more problems. You just have to leave a convincing paper trail an accountant will follow. Eventually they won't be able to follow that the flour supplier Company Z that Company B buys from for it's cookies is funneling Company B's money back into Company A. The accountant doesn't know that B isn't buying flour or making cookies. Sometimes they even make cookies...
It was 12% abv 24 ounces.
A standard beer is ~5% 12 ounces.
~2.5× stronger 2× the amount
Chugging 5 beers at once will get most people feeling quite buzzed.

Imagine one of the top 500 companies in an economy being a company where it's sole job is to help people pay taxes.
Depends how you define temperature.
"There's no such thing as cold"
Something at absolute zero would have zero heat.
If you define temperature as heat then it wouldn't have heat or temperature.
Kind of similar to trying to measure nothing with a ruler. It says 0. There is no length, but is 0mm still a "measurement"?
A no-kill shelter will send animals to another shelter if they cannot house all the animals.
In reality they just killed the animals instead of the other shelter doing it for them.
I agree a no-kill shelter shouldn't kill. But if you think that giving an animal to a no-kill shelter is goIng to guarantee that animal lives a full life you'll be sadly disappointed.
