rchive , to world in Global billionaire tax could yield $250 billion annually, study says

I know in the US, if we taxed 100% of all US billionaire wealth, dropping their and their companies’ productivity to zero, you could fund the federal government for only like 7 months. You’d squander tons of production for comparatively little gain. The problem isn’t that we don’t tax the rich enough, the problem is that we waste money left and right.

I think people use things like Reddit for anything because Reddit has a built in system of human curation. It’s not just SEO engineered garbage fake websites like basically every search engine will yield now, or sites’ internal searches pushing you to their top players instead of what you’re actually searching for.

The article also mentions how storms are becoming increasingly deadly, which they’re not, necessarily. It’s so up and down year to year it’s hard to pick out an actual trend.

All of Earth has always been a disaster zone. Do you realize how incredible it is that we don’t all get eaten by lions every day like our ancestors did? Lol

Everything has a buyer at some price. These people will just have to sell at a loss, probably.

Don’t worry, housing prices will crash next year and then you can buy cheap. Lol

The criticisms I hear from the American left about carbon taxes is that they don’t work, not that they look like socialism. I think they probably would work, but what do I know.

We don’t just allow construction in risky places, we subsidize it. If you’re an owner or developer and you wanna put your own money at risk by building in risky places, you should be allowed to do that. Just don’t expect me to pay for it through taxes and FEMA flood insurance.

Good. Subsidizing risky behavior, as we do with some kinds of disaster insurance, encourages risky behavior. Rising insurance costs are the market telling people to stop living in certain places. We’d do well to listen and stop living in places like Florida so much.

He probably does think that. He could spin rising premiums as speculation based on climate change belief.

rchive , to technology in Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU

I watch plenty of YouTube, so I get the attraction. But at the same time that’s basically like saying your favorite ketchup brand has a monopoly on ketchup just because it’s your favorite. You have the power to switch ketchup brands, very easily actually, and you also have the power to watch other content on other platforms. I think talking about YouTube like it’s a monopoly is actually empowering to Google. They want you to think it’s a monopoly.

ISPs mostly aren’t public utilities, so none of that applies to them. Taxes generally don’t go to them. They’re no more public utilities or tax funded than a company that would come to your house and cut your grass.

It is true that several times in the last few decades the government has handed ISPs some cash in exchange for doing specific things like expanding service to certain areas. It’s more than justified to be mad at them for not holding up their end. That doesn’t make them public utilities, though. The government deserves a bunch of blame for that, too, because it’s stupid and handed a bunch of private companies a bunch of money with no accountability mechanism. Of course they’re gonna take the money and run.

That’s why I’m saying stop trusting the government to fix things like this.

I’m not sure what that has to do with YouTube detecting ad blockers.
