How is taxing someone an unreasonable amount of money based on what seems to be an arbitrary gross calculation of their apparent wealth with the intention of taking their assets to pay for it fighting fair?
To actually be fair, I would prefer my government be more fair than less fair as a general rule.
Conveniently glossing over the fact that we, in a normal world, would only be using the AI to look at all of their stuff and not ours. Stupid idea all around.
Why can’t we just use the numbers we already have? I mean they say Musk is worth x amount, Bezos owns x amount. They get those big numbers from somewhere. Tell them how much tax they owe based on how much they theoretically own. They can pay their taxes with their theoretically valuable stocks/shares whatever. They are going to be all like, “I can’t afford that. Nobody has that much money!”
To which we will say, “Fine then, uh give me that super yacht right there and 10 super cars and we will let you start a payment plan.”
If people don’t pay their taxes the government can seize their property to cover it, right? This is how we can achieve the reduction of billionaire wealth and find a path to balancing out all of the money we owe ourselves from all the government shenanigans over the last century or so.
Is it schizophrenia if we are all in agreement?
Sub conscious pattern recognition is what tripping is all about. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who has experienced this.
Too many hallucinogens in my youth? I hear music in the shower too. Anywhere where a white noise is the dominant sound my brain just starts making shit up. I get the same deal staring at static on an old tv. I start seeing patterns in the chaos.
Not reliably, I tend to hear metal or jazz and I think that correlates with the amount of noise in the white noise. It’s more like a slower flow makes less noise so I hear less music or none at all. It’s gotta be saying Ssshhhhhh or I don’t hear squat.
I will admit that I do. However, in my defense, I hear music coming from the faucet while it is on and I like to jam to hallucinatory music while I brush. My brain just makes whatever it wants to hear from any white noise source but water from the tap in the bathroom produces the best results.
I feel the same as you but for different reasons. Games with mtx have a different pace and game progression to account for the mtx. If I’m paying full price it’s for the kind of game that is very much not a mtx kind of game. There are certain expectations that game developers keep trying to change for the worse when it comes to what you are getting when you buy a copy of a game. The only way to fight it is to be picky about what you buy.
Nah, I meant the banks are the scam. They hold your money in a low interest rate savings account. Then they loan out your savings account (on paper at least) to someone at a higher interest rate and so on. Every bank for the longest time was a big old house of cards that only held up as long as no one moved too much money at once. I get what you are saying about wealthy people wealth acquisition, though.
The only actual cash billionaire I can think of is the guy that created and sold Minecraft. That dude has billions in the bank. Or at least he did for a minute or two before I’m sure he invested a ton of it. All the other billionaires just own billions worth of stuff for the most part. Banks don’t even leave money in banks. They invest or loan out all of it and keep the returns. That’s the scam, same as it ever was.
Yeah, I know. 😔I just hate pedophiles a whole extra a lot. You can’t trust government to even deliver the mail on time anymore let alone decide who gets capital punishment. I know. I get the disconnect between wanting some criminals to be tortured and live streamed and forgetting who would be charged with carrying it out. Sorry about that.
Can you make a martyr out of a pedophile? If not, then sure. Pay per view and give the money to the victim. People who rape are the worst people. Worse then murderers. I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who does the worst thing you can do to someone.
Isn’t that like, a backwards way of just saying follow the law? Isn’t it already illegal for anyone to interfere with an election? We have got to put mechanisms in place to hold national referendums to remove people from office. Congress clearly can’t be trusted on its own since it can be co-opted. Something triggered from the bottom up if the people think there are shenanigans going on. I think we are coming up on the point of no return when it comes to taking back our power over government. If we don’t do it soon we are going to lose our ability to do it at all.
There won’t be anything stopping people from unplugging their tech and just walking away from it. Go back to writing checks and paying cash. Buy an old school flip phone in case you need to call somebody. I mean, the internet is mostly shit at this point already.
