  • I don't think salary caps are necessary. Just having steeper tax brackets will eventually lead to a soft cap, while not feeling like a punishment. Maybe even a simple function instead of brackets, its more dynamic and easier to calculate.

    Wealth tax is kinda weird, since first someone needs to estimate the wealth, which is not easy. Then the amount to be paid probably needs to be cash, since 20% of e.g. a house is pretty useless. But actually liquefying enough wealth can have wild effects. For example Tesla stock plummeted for a while due to elon needing twitter-money.

    In a sense it could prevent companies from growing. If I own a company imma make sure it stays below the threshold, since I don't want to sell my shares and loose voting-rights.

    Or if you look at countries trying to seize Russian oligarchs' property: A lot failed, due to no one knowing who actually was the owner.

  • Well, that's what unions and regulations are for. Plus if they piss me off, I can just leave and work somewhere else.

  • OK, that's some US issues.

    But if enough people want something, it'll happen. It's just that 50% of the US hates the other 50% and vice versa.

    Abortion has long been a contentious issue and will probably be a big part of the election. Republicans are currently shooting themselves in the foot with that.

  • Idk, what to tell you m8, but your idea of what's happening in the middle east seems way off.

    Among Jewish interviewees, 88% give a positive assessment of the performance of IDF forces in the war until now.

    The majority of Israelis want the war.

  • Did some research (read the wiki).

    Seems like working at a co-op sacrifices wage stability and maybe wage amount in favor of job-security.

    It solves some issues, but gives way to new ones.

    While the jobs seem to be more secure, they also grow slower, so hire less.

    This suggests to me, that the workload can also vary with the wage.

    Overall I wouldn't like it. I like planning my stuff. If once in a blue moon I get layed off, I can make new plans. But adjusting ervery month sounds exhausting.

  • Yes, because the democratic nations have democratically decided, that we want to consume more than is wise, that we want to retaliate for Oct 7 and that private property is cool, even if a few have more.

    I agree, that mob-rule would remove billionaires, but how would it stop climate change, if there are no regulations against emissions?

    Palestinians idk. In nationless anarchy it would not be a structured military, but let's not pretend there wouldn't be massive amounts of bloodshed.

  • Oh no, Anarchists!

  • You mean the process, that is democratically decided by elections with a bunch of checks and balances in the process?

  • Nah, fuck that.

    I don't want my salary dependent on how we are doing on a monthly basis.

    If I create my own company, sure. But I can kinda control it.

    If there are a thousand other people voting for dumb stuff and I loose a third of my income, I'm gonna loose it.

    Also if we are doing equal splits, college is actually useless. Why would I waste my time becoming an engineer, if I could have earned the same money the whole time instead. Even worse with american college, where you not just loose all the salary from not working but also like 10-20,000 in tuition.

  • So basically mob-justice.

    Because witch hunts have never gone wrong and were always justified.

    "This man loves other men, that's weird, let's kill him." - apparently no one ever

    Also relevant meme:

  • Can we stop pretending billionaires are like Scrooge McDuck?

    They don't have money, they have assets. You can take those, but dafuq you wanna do with it? Let the state run the companies? Have you seen any state-ran stuff? Idk, if I want amazon state run.

  • There should be a rule against this

  • But what if I'm attracted to androgyny? I feel like a lot if people are and I don't know a word for that.

    For reference I'm talking about memes like: My taste in women: Picture of LeanBeefPatty My taste in men: Picture of F1nnster

    I think finnster had some coming out video, so might not be accurate anymore. But I see similar memes a lot.

  • It probably is the same rationale as with clickbait. It at least gets a response XD

    The messages from gay guys are pretty similar sometimes.

  • It's not that much landlords but homeowners. They want to keep their property-value, so they vote to block any rezoning. And since they're mostly boomers they vote a lot and show up to local hearings etc. Landlords just don't have that much political power.

  • I mean, if you had a bunch more hospitals, probably. But that requires a lot more doctors etc.

    In a way it's already proving my point. By having cheaper in-network doctors the price goes down if you are able to choose.

    The problem is, that healthcare is often an emergency thereby creating an inelastic market by removing that choice.

    That doesn't mean that the American health care system isn't also super weird for other reasons tho.

  • I think in the US that's true, but most homeless people are in cities and all the vacancies in rural areas. The city vacancies are way too low.

  • I mean, they can only do that, because people are willing to pay that. Just increase the supply and prices should go down. If they artificially keep them high, government should step in.
