The ticket monopoly baffles me. Surely it can’t be that hard for someone to set up an independent site?

Fedora + GNOME my beloved <3

I see they ‘obliterated’ it the first time in the same sense that they ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear programme last year

They reported this anonymously to the press, probably because they were worried it would be covered up. Will be a massive witch hunt ongoing to identify them right now, I’d guess

It seems like you have more to learn about taxation, so it’s not worth me discussing this with you.

It’s inherently progressive because it counteracts the inherently regressive distribution of property in a capitalist economy.

Taxes are not either flat or progressive. They are flat, proportional, or progressive. This is a proportional tax which targets unequal distribution to achieve progressive results.

If you mess with the rate, the system will be more easily exploited by the ultra-rich.

Not with a regular property/land tax. There’s essentially no way to game that.

My point is that adding frills to a tax (like making it progressive) usually just enables the people with the means to do so to take advantage of provisions protecting the poor. A property tax is effective because it is inherently progressive and doesn’t need to be tweaked much.

People celebrating this are engaging in the same dumbass tribalist mentality as the MAGA lot.

There’d likely be a lot of ways around it. Large plots would be broken up into smaller legal boundaries, parts would be owned by shell companies, parts would be loaned out and rented back at low rates, etc. etc. They’d find a way to take advantage of it to pay less than anyone else.

A straight-up land tax with no frills does the job. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I never liked those stupid handles, I like that there’s actually a good reason to hate on them

“Identified”? Not “arrested” or “charged”? I can identify lots of people who did bad things.

These are unironically my two simultaneous reactions to Marty Supreme

He’s actually a 9 year old from 2013

This sounds like a convenient way to have all your locally saved photos wiped by your kid

In a lot of places in South Asia, it’s common to place small religious shrines on the dash of a car to ward off bad luck. Just thought I’d mention for no reason.

As much as I generally agree with you on principles, you sound utterly insufferable

Well put

Just “sub” kinda works too

What arcane blasphemy were you up to that required you to pentaboot 😭
