Ah - a sensible comment in a thread about a wealth tax 😁. Yes - wealth taxes do raise money if they’re on things that are hard to move - so land, property. Also death duties - add up the estate, take a percentage. Anything else is more trouble than it’s worth. Better to effective and enforced income and consumption taxes.

And no getting away from the fact that it doesn’t solve the problem - to do that most people will have to pay more tax, and government needs to get much more efficient.

Also square pins make better contact than round ones

So do I, even though it’s my own board and nobody can see it

And they’ve got my credit card details, and an email address and purchase history more than 18 years old. So use that..

If all the ‘corporations did this’ articles replaced ‘corporations’ with ‘some people’ I feel they’d be much more likely to get the kind of positive action that would do some good

And don’t forget the dentistry. That’s the best answer to someone who wants to live in the ‘idyll’ of yesteryear

Maybe (like everywhere?) but that’s not the point I was trying to make. There is a stereotype that autism and generally being neurodivergent is somehow compensated for by academic talent - it’s not fair to make this assumption

It’s a joke - and academic achievement doesn’t correlate with mental health - that’s a stereotype we would benefit from losing

They also don’t want to be photographed and end up with their tits all over social media. Places where this used to be routine (European beaches and so on) there is a lot less of this than 30 years ago. Another thing mobiles phones and social media have made worse

 

I’m used to browsing the web on Firefox with ad blocking - works great. My experience of Safari with AdBlock Pro is much less good - many websites block access unless it’s disabled. I also used to have good results with Firefox on Android. Does anyone have better suggestions? Many thanks!

 

This annoyed me. You can boost pack all the way from your New Atlantis penthouse balcony to the New Atlantis star port. Off a skyscraper, travel for miles. It’s fantastic - everyone should do it. Really gives a sense of the scale and capability of the world and game. It does that better than any actual quest or cutscene… bit of a missed opportunity if you ask me.
