Yeah because arguing about taxing the rich to prevent kids dying in the streets from tuberculosis is roughly the same thing as human trafficking or defending social darwinism. What the fuck ?..

I don’t really know the guy, he just pops up on my feed sometimes, so I have no idea if he’s a self important jackass or not. But he raises a lot of important questions with answers we already know to be part of the solution. Raising taxes, destroying inheritance above a certain threshold, the looming threat of extreme Victorian-like inequalities, are all valid points.
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 2 days ago:
Because it allows them to increase their wealth, but the assets and properties are not moving or changing hands (well, they kind of are by moving from holding A to holding B, but the holdings are still entirely within their hands). That’s the expensive part which justifies paying experts.
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 2 days ago:
That’s absolutely not surprising. Paying for attorneys, transfer pricing experts, etc. would definitely cost a lot more
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 2 days ago:
You realise that they’ll not leave because it would be A LOT more expensive than just paying their taxes right ? Moving assets is expensive, they will not sell all their property, they will not move their companies. Them moving away is just propaganda for fools like you.
And in any case, they already don’t pay much, even if 1% of them move away, the tax income from the rest will make up for it.

His father died of FTD, and signs point towards him having it too. Epstein suspected it, and it’s becoming fairly obvious something is really wrong with him. He’s also suffered multiple strokes (visible facial droop), he has congestive heart failure (swollen ankles), and he might even have diabetes (needle marks on fingertips). He struggles stepping down stairs, and walking in a straight line. He also struggles with swallowing (slurping sounds), filtering whatever comes from his mouth, or what his body does (getting up to look at his ballroom in the middle of a meeting), he’s showing sundowning behaviour (falling asleep during the day, even in crowded, loud places, and tweeting crazy shit all night long) and has been incontinent for years at this point.
I don’t know what he has exactly, but I hope his days are painful, his nights sleepless and that he hurts every single living second.

Same thing happened here in France with our equivalents of Labour (PS) and the greens (LFI). It’s utter insanity especially when you look at the progress of far right parties
- Comment on SHL0MS(famous prankster on X/Twitter) baited AI haters by posting a real painting by Monet, claiming it was AI generated. The post got viral(>6M views) as art critics started deleting their replies 1 month ago:
Well, if you’re an art critic and can’t recognise a famous Monet, are you really an art critic?

- Comment on Delicious rocks 6 months ago:
I’m not a geologist so my explanation might not be 100% correct, but a mineral is a bunch of molecules set up in a crystalline pattern, so ice is a mineral form of water. Or water is the lava of ice, ice being technically a rock.

I mean, ice is technically a mineral so, that’s at least two tasty rocks

That’s a lot for someone who doesn’t understand computers beyond Windows and MacOS. People also don’t realise that since the PS4 and the Xbox One every console is just a X86-64 machine. So, I think it’s a good move from Valve

Keep in mind that these apps are run for profit by corporations. You meeting someone suitable and leaving the app, means less revenue for them.
So they can be fun to mess around for a while, but unless you’re extremely lucky, don’t expect long lasting relationships from them. - Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America. 1 year ago:
