  I don’t quite follow. I agree that wealth doesn’t trickle down and tbh I can’t tell if we agree or not generally. I can’t quite follow. I think the wealthy should pay a wealth tax.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A UK headline wealth tax? It may be simpler to put up existing taxes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The 70s comparison doesn’t really hold. Healey’s 98% rate was on paper but almost nobody paid it because of loopholes and avoidance. The IMF bailout then was about 13 percent of GDP, but scaling that up to 100% doesn’t make sense. The UK borrows differently today and isn’t in that situation.

  The idea that millionaires are leaving in droves is exaggerated. A few go, most don’t, and the UK still draws plenty of wealthy people in.

  The real point is that the very rich don’t take salaries. They hold assets. Income tax doesn’t touch most of their resources, which is exactly why a wealth tax is being talked about. Saying we’d just be repeating the 70s misses what the debate is actually about.

  You can choose to have Bluetooth headphones and still have the option of a jack though. It’s partly the choice people like.

  At the moment.

  I like that we can get both indie and AAA and that indie developers can successfully create a whole of the former without big business. Not many places any more where a single person can offer a quality product that sits next to a business’ with hundreds of millions of investment.

  I’d put money on this happening. My mum and dad can’t wait for an excuse to put their trust back in the Tories. All it’ll take is a few headlines.

  Not saying this is a good one but Splatoon on switch you manipulate the music speed and pitch with the analogue sticks.

  I have a retroid pocket 3+ which I prefer for PSP emulation but I do have Adrenaline on my Vita.

  I have a vita and I’m intrigued about the dual controls. Remapping to the second analogue stick?

  I’m not disagreeing, I’m saying that the study doesn’t necessarily account for the treatment as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨XL Bullies: Prime Minister's XL Bully ban will not apply in Northern Ireland⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But is that is because of some treatment or training from the owners also? Doesn’t seem clear cut.

  I’d rather be sure the least worst win and still protest etc I think. It’s a Tory stronghold where I live though, and ukip matched the labour votes last election.

  What would you recommend?
