Implicit in “profit so much that money becomes trivial” is that they think this tax rate should apply to very high profit businesses/individuals.

In fact the US’ top tax rate was 90% for almost a decade and over 70% for 40 years - during a time many would consider “golden years”.

They could have worded their statement better though.

That’s an interesting possibility - is there any data to support it?

Here in Georgia the fight is in the center, for sure.

lol

What’s good is that it might get them in office so they can continue making incremental progress.

I got a heat pump this year because of the $3000 tax credit they passed - no chance of more incentives like that under Trump.

You may need to go back to when he showed up here, when people responded to the concept of third party candidates in general, not him or their assumptions about him specifically.

After a while he made a name for himself, and people started to respond to him differently after evaluating his many interactions.

Let’s compare, for example, to mozz, who probably has a fair amount of respect for his thoughtful and comprehensive replies. Or jeffw, who also seems to want to generate traffic but appears to be much more genuine about republishing political articles of general interest.

UniversalMonk has earned some of the negative response he’s getting.

I think she is undeniably a better choice for the presidency than Donald Trump, that’s for sure

bam!

It’s like far-left rhetoric (especially the kind that seems to come from people who have never seen how e.g. spoilers work or who have never had to find a compromise) isn’t actually that popular, so you see pushback from the instance that dominates the user population, especially with it having users who aren’t “ideologically aligned” with a specific instance and who may have a perspective outside the bubble. I don’t know, just a theory.

If you think of low frequencies as “red” and high frequencies as “blue”, corresponding to the range of the visible light spectrum, then pink noise has more “red” and less “blue”; white noise has equal amounts of all frequencies, etc.

No, we don’t. Why would you make a statement like that?

What about relative energy (energy per mass) - if poop is less energy dense than the protein/fat of your tissues, excreting it should increase your energy density

in places that have large open lot retail developments, it’s very likely you could just install the solar panels on undeveloped land a few miles away.

why would you complicate both efforts by trying to intertwine them?

you have to go all the way down below the dirt to prep a site for residential units. With a toilet, shower, and sink per unit, the density of sewer and water plumbing is much higher than commercial. Fire codes also demand egress points (a.k.a. windows) for every bedroom - hard to do Inside a big box retail space.

We are currently overtaxing natural resources, human population cannot grow unbounded without many unpleasant consequences. To me, it’s not a problem if we reach a steady state or even start a slow downward trend.

But, we must turn away from “line goes up” methods for measuring success, which are pretty deeply ingrained in most of our economies.

reaches out? performs outreach?

If you also do this for the container you drain old oil into, you will be able to see if your car is starting to shown signs of oil consumption issues.

E.g. if you know you fill with 3.7qt, and you drain less than 3.7qt, you know you need to start checking the oil level every few fillups.

This kind of neglect of proper maintenance is why it started burning oil at 100k.

If you want your engine to last, you change the oil every 5000 to 7500 miles.

yeah, communities should have subject tag sets. I don’t care for anime or sports or video games - i should be able to turn off those tags. Not block 50 different game communities ad hoc

Surge suppressors do not drop extra voltage to ground. They selectively short out surges between whatever two conductors have a high potential between them.

No ground conductor means there cannot be a high potential between it and anything else!
