it's only an anti-semitic term if you think the jews control the world
One of my friends actually compared this to Nazi Germany today. I could swear the Nazis were a little more on board with the "one government to rule them all" kind of plan instead of letting everybody do their own thing
your friend sounds very pro-nazi
*I doubt it*
Just maybe drank some of the kool-aid
yeah
the nazi kool-aid

Globalist coolaid is watermelon flavoured. Green on the outside hiding the red on the inside.
that's the sort of green engineering I like to see
no pie in the sky promises
just some measurable improvements using less energy
*less costly energy in exchange for basically free energy
overall less thermodynamically efficient, but, by using essentially free solar energy, less energy costly
proof of concept complete. now just the task of optimization to make it commercially viable
yes, i really like the idea of individual uses of solar power and such
There is no such thing as an impeachment inquiry. you impeach or you don't. This just shows Pelosi has lost control of the house and needs to appease the far left. The far left might have damming info on Pelosi
We are going to have a meeting to review the meeting where we will discuss the location of the next meeting
We are going to appoint a beewatcher watcher watcher
*"it's only an anti-semitic term if you think the jews control the world"*
Holy shit... *'It's only anti-semetic if you're an anti-semite...'* 😲😲
For the record, there is no mountain (mostly flat farmland) and the lake is a mud puddle 😏 (referencing the severe storm text scroller). Also, they protest because they can't come to terms of who he really is.

Makes me want to go watch the Keith Ledger Batman movie.
the idea of a wealth tax continues to ignore the laffer curve. Which basically states that income is relatively flat regardless of tax rate because of the incentives and disincentives that a tax places on the economy. If you look at the history of the US tax collection (since we moved away from the tariff tax based tax system), regardless of tax rate, the average income for the government is 18%

any new tax may collect new revenue, but also comes with added expense in administration and the issue of de-incentivizing some behaviors that may be socially positive.
Then they will create loopholes to try to reintroduce those incentives, just as we have now in the income tax system. The end result is we will still be sitting at 18% of GDP in tax revenues unless you can convince society that additional services are worth the cost and people become happy to pay more than 18%.
A Wealth tax seems really destructive to me. As Tim notes people has wealth isn't necessarily liquid. People who own businesses and house are going to suffer a lot.
example: 2% wealth tax: Person owns house worth 300k will pay an additional 6k a year on top of income tax, payroll tax, sales tax, property tax, ect.
Now my understanding is maybe you only tax people with assets over a million dollars. still My parents bought a house worth ~300k to 400k in the 90s. the house is now worth over 1millions dollars. they can't afford to pay 20k on top of the bills they already pay, they would have to sell the house.
Similar problem with businesses. taxes will just eat companies up and destroy them and the jobs they bring
