99% sounds like a fair tax rate for billionaires at this point.

This post did not contain any content.Problem with taxing billionaires is they get most of their wealth by extorting people, so the more we tax them, the more they tighten the screw and pass on the buck. "Oh, I'm simply forced to increase rent by that bad, bad government who's taxing me."
The solution of course is repossessing their property. They can't hike rents on something they no longer own! -

@MostlyHarmless “Nooo you can’t tax billionaires, they’re going to just leave to another country”
Okay, then let’s also tax capital and assets being relocated to fill any loopholes. Let them move away once they’ve paid their fair share, we don’t need them 🤷♂️

And they won't be able to hob nob with other unerrich to meet and devise their schemes of eugenics and control belonging solely to the rich and white and wealthby, with a little pedophilia on the side, as Epstien had done with his Edge think tank.
From The Nerve news:
"Whatever Edge was supposed to be, it became something sinister. The salon played yenta to billionaire money and alpha-male minds, and together, over decades, they all converged on a master philosophy: they were apex predators ordained by nature to exploit and subjugate others. This creed allowed the Edge set to steer intellectual history into its current fascist dead-end." -

Or people think “tax cuts” means less taxes and more benefits for them. So they support it.

@MostlyHarmless Well put and very true about billionaire welfare cheats

@JackMexa4 @TheWolfOfSouthEnd @MostlyHarmless They do though.
You're actually not going to touch a billionaire with an increase in taxes on any sort of income. Perhaps something that triggers when they take loans on potential (but not actually realized) profit.
They play games we can't play. We end up attacking cuts and business benefits that help smaller businesses and people and just never address the bullshit games they play to just say they are broke and in debt so they don't pay shit.

Small Business should be in a different category for sure.
You are also right that billionaires don’t have taxable income. They own everything, but evade taxes somehow due to those tax code maneuvering and counting their spending as company expenses and so.

@MostlyHarmless Or we put all the epstein billionaires in prison, take all their money and absolve everyone else from having to pay any tax at all.

@JackMexa4 @TheWolfOfSouthEnd @MostlyHarmless Being able to spend money on expenses associated with your business is very important for small businesses. It's a perfect example of attacking something that is totally unrelated to billionaires but would hurt everyone else if done away with.
Billionaires don't have to worry about that shit at all. They take loans on the amount of money they'd get if they sold their stocks to people who'd buy them based on perceived future value.

Exactly why we taxed them 90% back when, they knew then, but didn't care now.

La militarizzazione di Starlink e il suo impatto sulla stabilità strategica globale
In questo articolo, due ricercatori della National University of Defense Technology, affiliata all'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione, sostengono che Starlink avrà un impatto negativo sulla stabilità globale, alla luce delle sue evidenti applicazioni militari, dell'aumento dei rischi di incidenti e collisioni nello spazio e dello stretto rapporto tra SpaceX e le forze armate statunitensi. Gli autori prevedono un aggravamento del dilemma della sicurezza man mano che altri Paesi reagiranno all'ampio dispiegamento di Starlink da parte degli Stati Uniti, con conseguenti ripercussioni sulla stabilità strategica nello spazio.

woohoo 7k followers, finally. I still don't see where in the UI I'm supposed to put in my address so that they can mail me the big silver toot-button plaque though, how long does that take to show up

actually no, unlimited[1] post length, but the font size drops proportionally to message length

Astroturfing online: un problema che va oltre la disinformazione.
I comportamenti inautentici coordinati online stanno diventando un problema sempre più serio in tutto il mondo. Una tipologia comune di comportamento manipolativo è l'astroturfing. Si verifica quando un'entità crea artificialmente l'impressione di un ampio sostegno per un prodotto, una politica o un concetto, quando in realtà il supporto è limitato. L'astroturfing online è spesso considerato alla stregua di qualsiasi altro comportamento inautentico coordinato, e si discute molto su come aggravi la diffusione di notizie false e disinformazione. Questo articolo dimostra che l'astroturfing crea ulteriori problemi per le piattaforme dei social media e per l'ambiente online in generale. La pratica dell'astroturfing sfrutta la nostra naturale tendenza a conformarci alla massa; e data l'importanza del conformismo nel nostro processo decisionale, le conseguenze negative derivanti dall'astroturfing possono essere molto più ampie e allarmanti della semplice diffusione di disinformazione.

@aeva I like how instances have their own configurations but in the end what you get is an asymmetrical conversation.
Some people in my circles often put a huge wall of text and I only have 500 chars :)trick: just ignore them.

@aeva
Or at least put anything beyond 500 chars under a fold.

@aeva nah, that's silly nonsense. In this essay I will...
