How is taxing someone an unreasonable amount of money based on what seems to be an arbitrary gross calculation of their apparent wealth with the intention of taking their assets to pay for it fighting fair?
To actually be fair, I would prefer my government be more fair than less fair as a general rule.
Conveniently glossing over the fact that we, in a normal world, would only be using the AI to look at all of their stuff and not ours. Stupid idea all around.
Why can’t we just use the numbers we already have? I mean they say Musk is worth x amount, Bezos owns x amount. They get those big numbers from somewhere. Tell them how much tax they owe based on how much they theoretically own. They can pay their taxes with their theoretically valuable stocks/shares whatever. They are going to be all like, “I can’t afford that. Nobody has that much money!”
To which we will say, “Fine then, uh give me that super yacht right there and 10 super cars and we will let you start a payment plan.”
If people don’t pay their taxes the government can seize their property to cover it, right? This is how we can achieve the reduction of billionaire wealth and find a path to balancing out all of the money we owe ourselves from all the government shenanigans over the last century or so.
More LSD is always the answer. Sometimes more for them. Sometimes more for me. Solves most psychic issues.
I feel the same as you but for different reasons. Games with mtx have a different pace and game progression to account for the mtx. If I’m paying full price it’s for the kind of game that is very much not a mtx kind of game. There are certain expectations that game developers keep trying to change for the worse when it comes to what you are getting when you buy a copy of a game. The only way to fight it is to be picky about what you buy.
Yeah, I know. 😔I just hate pedophiles a whole extra a lot. You can’t trust government to even deliver the mail on time anymore let alone decide who gets capital punishment. I know. I get the disconnect between wanting some criminals to be tortured and live streamed and forgetting who would be charged with carrying it out. Sorry about that.
Can you make a martyr out of a pedophile? If not, then sure. Pay per view and give the money to the victim. People who rape are the worst people. Worse then murderers. I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who does the worst thing you can do to someone.
Same here. I’d be willing to sell it though. It’s beyond maddening to me that they think it has value and then turn around and blatantly steal it. Cut me in and I’ll happily check all the boxes. Spy away if the price is right.
This is a wonderful thing to read. I don’t think other states ought to wait to pass similar legislation.
Can they charge you with destruction of property if they don’t know whose property it is? Seems like the way forward is to just keep breaking these things. More of us than them. They want the data. Don’t give it to them.
There won’t be anything stopping people from unplugging their tech and just walking away from it. Go back to writing checks and paying cash. Buy an old school flip phone in case you need to call somebody. I mean, the internet is mostly shit at this point already.
