That’s a non argument. The VAST majority of wealth we are talking about is in equities which absolutely have a clear price. All that other stuff is noise to confuse the point. You really think the wealthy will put all their money in art that has no intrinsic value? And wait a sec, even if they did, what did they just pay for it? That seems like a perfectly valid basis for tax.

None of these values are ever perfect. The point is, we pay a small percentage of our assets every year, but the wealthy have convinced us they couldn’t possibly. Most don’t even “own” anything, it’s all under tax and liability protected companies.

This is what bothers me. We say it’s impossible to do for the wealthy like this. Yet we regular folks get taxed like this every year. Property taxes. We have to pay for the illiquid shit we own, but it’s impossible for the wealthy?

This is true for any real insurance, but not health insurance. Health Insurance premiums are decided by your employer, someone who has no reason to even be involved. It’s entirely based on how much “benefit” they think they need to give you compared to their peers.

I was going to be disappointed if someone had not already made this comment.

I really wanted to just use the PWA, but Sync really is just so much better an experience right now. It’s smooth, but it also doesn’t lose my place in the feed every time I open a post. Trivial yet crucial!

It’s $2 here in Australia, unfortunately.

I do need to do more.

I use sway because when I came back after a long break, it seemed to be the one to go with. I kind of miss awesome, though.

Has there been any official rationale for this? It seems like a waste. It can’t be that hard to do, and while the fediverse may not be huge yet, most of its users are the type of power users it would clearly appeal to.

PS5, though I’ll probably end up getting a switch still. Probably right before Nintendo unveils a new console…

It will probably always be World of Warcraft. No time these days to match that on a single game, not by a long shot.

It is! It’s just hack and slash but a lot of variations keep things fun. There are several different game modes. And Mojang knows a thing or two about procedural generation so even the same levels stay interesting.

I’ve been enjoying Minecraft: Dungeons with the kids.
