I’m extremely interested. Perhaps somewhere on a niche instance?

Perhaps a post about this in politics? You’ve piqued my interest.

Probably won’t have to pay. They’re appealing.

Your English is fine. The same words often evoke different mental images from one person to another. Sometimes I have trouble distinguishing when to embrace literal meanings and when to go with the general gist of words. Thanks for addressing my comment, a gentle reminder for me.

Google went live in 98? First Arch in 02?

I wasn’t contradicting, but adding.

They do not care, that’s what’s extremely sociopathic.

Think of all the data breaches of big insurance and clearinghouses. That’s definitely going to be an AI nightmare.

It can happen to you, too. Stay vigilant.

It’s using user details without consent.

It costs bandwidth too. Is YouTube giving my internet provider a cut to lower my bill/increase my time? No? Keep it to two thirty second ads per thirty minutes.

In Japan?

😒

Anyone not plain vanilla and falling in line, apparently. Unless you’re fabulously wealthy or otherwise “useful.”

Thanks for that. I need to reread it a couple of times and stew on it for a good while. Being from the USA, my perspective is obviously skewed from that perspective. My immediate question arises from generations behind baby boomers who never had the opportunity of home ownership (and related maintenance/tax expenses), who may be able to inherit properties, if not having to be signed over to the state for necessary elder care expenses. In this situation, the beneficiary have wealth, but have to sell the property to pay taxes, then be taxed on savings, and still unable to afford modest housing, rented or bought.

In this example, my immediate thought is in favor of doing away with sales and/or VAT, but having aggressively progressive income taxes, with income under $x being exempted, or even negative tax burden*.

Sure, and that’s extremely important context that should be included, because

taxes are a way - and always have been - to redistribute from the poor to the rich. Sounds about right.

Comes off sounding ancap or USA style libertarian.

Exactly.

We were, but being set to expire in a decade and redundant 24 hour news cycles means they were designed to be forgotten.

Can you find and link me to the article? Ideally, they’re to fund public necessities, schools and other infrastructure, roads, etc, fire departments, sanitation, defense, anything used by the collective.
