- Comment on Contractual trap on remote working job offer 2 weeks ago:
A lot of these clauses might be illegal under German labor law. Check with a lawyer. Also ensure there is a clause saying they have to sponsor your blue card. Many countries allow employers to cancel residence to “fire” in violation of labor law.
If the clauses are unenforceable, my suggestion would be to take the contract, get through the trial period and then mention the unenforceable clauses. That’s to say if you really want to go to Germany.

- Comment on Most Of Billionaires’ $7.6 Trillion Has Never Been Taxed - Americans For Tax Fairness 3 weeks ago:
The article says this
Sen. Wyden’s proposed Billionaires Income Tax (BIT) would tax the wealth gains of billionaires and those with consistent income above $100 million. Currently, such investment gains are only taxed if the underlying asset is sold. But the ultrawealthy don’t have to sell to benefit. They can secure low-interest loans secured against their rising fortunes and live luxuriously tax-free. Under Wyden’s plan, such wealth-growth income would be taxed every year just like worker wages are now. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimated this proposal would raise $557 billion in new revenue over the next decade from just a small number of ultra-wealthy oligarchs.
I don’t like wealth tax for a number of reasons, but a capital gains tax on unrealized gains that phases in after a certain amount seems very fair. The phasing in is important because average people’s homes and other assets should be untouched imo, but after a certain amount of unrealized income it should be.
I’d also suggest taxing secured low interest loans as a form of realized capital gains.

Don’t forget how billionaires are noble and don’t give their wealth to their children unless their children could earn it themselves
