I mean it’s still better than AlJazeera I see posted here. But you are correct, it should not be taken very seriously.

theotherverion ,

That would be so communistic. I agree their taxes should be higher but definitely not 100%.

theotherverion ,

Considering the price of certain goods, this is extremely low.

theotherverion ,

Yes, the stock market is doing great and it it possible even for those that don’t have millions to take advantage of that.

theotherverion ,

That also won’t work. Imagine someone has now 40 billion and this law comes into effect. Pretty much they would have to get rid of 39 billion. What would they do? Move it to their company and problem fixed. Instead of people having luxuries, you would end up with huge companies owning these.

theotherverion ,

Let’s say cars such as McLaren F1 and Ferrari 250 GTO.

theotherverion ,

I don’t necessarily see Elon’s billions harm me. I see that limit can be limiting when the individual wants to buy, let’s say, a company.

That’s why I see a hard limit like this wrong.

Far better approach would be to sanction shenanigans like private flights for 100 kilometers, uselessly huge yachts, etc. These luxuries actually make my life worse. They fuck up the air I breathe.

theotherverion ,

That would be a very much communist way of doing things. Do I need to explain why communism didn’t work, doesn’t work and won’t work?

theotherverion ,

I get your point but that would be genuinely impossible to implement it.

Imagine you would have to know how to bake before being able to buy a flour. Monitoring what can/cannot people buy based on their profession does not make a lot of sense.

Also, the person didn’t have to go through the interview process but he had to go through the process of earning that money.

theotherverion ,

Basically a system where the society is classless there is common ownership of property.

theotherverion ,

Hence why the government should strive for as open economy as possible, so there is competition in the market and so the wages go up. Or if the government is not capable of doing that, they can move.

theotherverion ,

It creates literally same structure as socialism in my country (which btw attempted to reach communism). Paychecks were essentially set, so no one has an income higher than X, everyone had either žiguli, skoda, trabant or tatra car.

So whilst I agree that ultra rich people should be taxed more (or contribute to the solution of world problems more), setting a high limit may just affect the persons’ possible achievements.

theotherverion ,

Well yes, such a team would suck and they would loose all matches. Just like a company would collapse if a billionaire chose to run a business he has zero clue about.

But it’s his money. He would lose it and I think he should be free to lose his money. And that’s the beauty of free market. If you are cunning, you win and if you are an idiot, you loose.

theotherverion , (edited )

But why should the person be limited? If they are capable of achieving that amount of wealth, why should we limit them to 100 million and give the rest to the government. I am not necessarily convinced the government would spend the money wiser…

Edit: Better approach would be to sanction certain useless activities they practice such as using a plane for 100 kilometers, etc.

theotherverion ,

Even as a someone with no experience, I can be accepted as a “lawyer” by a law company. But no would ever accept me because they it would harm the company very much.

Same thing applies for companies. There is already a motivation for their leaders to lead them in the best way possible even without limited maximum amount of money. In addition, there is no such a company that is so critical that its crash would destroy the world.

theotherverion ,

Taxing corporations is of course needed. However, you cannot do it in a brutal way. Oftentimes higher taxes result in higher prices of their products and that will be eventually paid by the people.

theotherverion ,

Because it is simply limiting what a person can achieve. Hence why I would rather see sanctions on specific actions.

theotherverion ,

I have mentioned what communism is in my other post. It is in accordance to your definition.

However, to get to communism, you firstly need socialism and this idea is very close to socialist practices that were present across the europe in the last century.

theotherverion ,

You are right the scale is different, but essentially it is the same idea.

Apart from many other issues this proposal has, limiting possible individuals’ achievements (just like socialistic regimes in the last century) is one of them

theotherverion ,

Still better than many governments. Imagine this law was applied in Russia. All those millions would be used to fund the war against Ukraine.

Edit: Hence why I believe that rather than setting a limit, we should create a set of sanctions on certain actions these people make.

theotherverion ,

Best music was produced last century in the era of hard rock and heavy metal. Change my mind.

theotherverion ,

I have not get out of high school yet.

theotherverion ,

I believe it’s not NSFW, I just use lemmynsfw.com as my instance because I found it first when I decided to create lemmy.

theotherverion ,

I agree with you that Leviathan is genuinely nice. Also I like some linking park songs.

However, I still believe that hits, let’s say from 1970s by bands like Black Sabbath, were better.

theotherverion ,

I think there are better ways to reduce environmental damage.

Still, not eating meat every day is good for every human.

theotherverion ,

What part of Palestine is occupied?

theotherverion ,

Find a more stupid reason than “God gave us…”

theotherverion ,

I wanna see the list of terrorist attacks committed by LGBTI movement.

theotherverion ,

THAT IS SO TERRIBLE, We have to eliminate them

theotherverion ,

It totally wouldn’t be biased!

theotherverion ,

It’s just you compared that the speed of killing in Gaza to a concentration camp. The size and population of a concentration camp is far smaller.

theotherverion ,

First of all, Israel left Gaza in 2005. They no longer govern it. In addition, they have been allowing huge amounts of cash flowing into the region and they are even unable to impose a full blockade considering the border with Egypt. If Palestinians are so peace-loving individuals, why the relations with Egpyt are far from ideal, too? Hence why it is mostly Hamas responsible for the situation in Gaza.

So yes, a response is fully excepted if members of a different state (that by the way wants to exterminate Israel) illegally cross the border.

theotherverion , (edited )

It literally cannot control the Egypt border considering the fact they are not in. If Gaza had normal relationship with Egypt, maybe we could start believing Israel is the problem here but if none of Gaza’s neighbors/any other Muslim countries are willing to take Gazans in, the problem must be somewhere else than in Israel.

Edit: Before 7th of October, there were more people of Gaza coming to Israel on daily bases rather than to Egypt. Why are we blaming israel of “occupation” and not Egypt?

theotherverion ,

I have never said that there is something genetically wrong with Gazans. However, it’s a simple fact no one is willing to take them during the war compared to Ukrainians, for example.

It’s an unfortunate situation for them because the leading party is an extremely radical leadership that radicalizes the whole population. Is it their fault? In my opinion no but at the same time certain attacks and escalations cannot be justified.

theotherverion ,

If Israel controls the import so much, how come they have so many weapons and so much money?

If they were as locked as you say, they would not be able to create such an attack.

theotherverion ,

Why is Gaza reliant on a state they are in a war with in the first place?

theotherverion ,

Did any country take Palestinians in during this (or any) escalation?

theotherverion ,

Yes and there was a military conflict between them and the country that has taken them each time.

theotherverion ,

I don’t know how organizing terrorist attacks from time to time and then refusing 2 state solution can be considered a resistance. EDIT: To me it seems like they chose the all or nothing route.

Also, it is still counter productive for Palestinians to attack israel when they are reliant of them.

theotherverion ,

What are you referring to as wrong. Were there uprisings each time someone took Palestinians? Yes.

So maybe that’s one of the reasons no one is willing to take them compared to Ukrainians.

theotherverion ,

Issue with this argument is that there was never a palestinian state. It was ruled by Britain and then Britain left and let UN decide. UN decided to create 2 news states that never existed before. It was not like someone had a state before and then UN came and chopped part of it.

theotherverion ,

Why should Gazans go anywhere? Simply because there is a war in their country. That does not mean they are leaving forever. Just like thousands of civilians left Ukraine when the war started does not mean they will never return home.

I am not saying there is something wrong with Gazans or that this situation is their fault, however, I at the same time fully understand that no other country would temporarily take them in. Also, how my claim is wrong? How many refugees from Gaza left the area since the beginning of this escalation?

Edit: Regarding Jews: I think it’s completely understandable for civilians to temporarily leave Israel when the war is there. Of course, only if other countries would be okay to take them in.

theotherverion ,

There was an offer to create Palestine but it was declined.

theotherverion ,

Guarantee is unfortunately impossible. Like in every war. It’s a choice between staying in the battlefield and risking your life or leaving and risking your country.

Regarding Nakba: it was not right. Israel shouldn’t have done that just like muslim countries shouldn’t have expelled Jews.

And the reason why it was not fixed is simply because backtracking all humanity’s mistakes is not possible and creation of new states/regimes usually have these consequences.

theotherverion ,

Rather because tracking back all mistakes humanity ever did is nonsensical.

theotherverion ,

I cannot guarantee that. It would have to be guaranteed by the government in Gaza.

theotherverion , (edited )

Is it a rule that because you lived somewhere, you have ultimate rights to that place or what? So theoretically if I find out that my ancestors owned a huge castle 1500 years ago, should I be able to just claim it?

edit: grammar fixes

What do you think of framework and their methods? (frame.work)

We are not sustainableAnd neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of “feel good” messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on...

theotherverion ,

I love them and I honestly hope they succeed. Honestly, which other manufacturer is as fair and as consumer friendly?
