Either watch the movie OR read the book. Never both. Both just leads to disappointment at the cost of your time.

Kacarott@aussie.zonetoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Bernie is asking you. That's all hes got. Sorry guys, no one else can do it.7·28 days agoObviously tax law would have to be more nuanced, if you only own a single house then you can’t be expected to sell it just to pay the tax on it, but the tax could accumulate for when/if you do sell it. But someone who owns hundreds of properties which increase in value, could be expected to sell some to pay the tax. The point is to affect people who hide their actual income from taxes like this, just like Bezos does.
Because it is also a messed up way to tax people, to only require people who can’t afford these tax evasion strategies to pay income tax.

The “real tax rate” isnt based on a stable net worth, it is based on the increase in net worth over X years (ie. Income), compared against the amount of tax paid over the X years.
If someones house increased in value at a rate of $1M per year, then they absolutely should be paying income tax on that $1M every year. Once it stops increasing in value, then it would no longer be contributing to income, and therefore would not be subject to income tax. It is pretty simple.

Maybe I misunderstood it then, it seemed like they were presenting this as a defence for people who cheat, like “don’t blame them, blame the society which ultimately causes it”.
Edit: reading again, it very clearly says “… Instead of vilifying it [infidelity]…” So they really are trying to say “stop getting upset about it”
Your exact same argument could be made for murder, for sex crimes, for hate crimes, etc. Just because some people might occasionally want to commit these acts, does not make them okay, because they hurt people.
Open relationships already exist. There is no limit on what kind of relationship you can define with your partner, so there is absolutely no “necessity of lying and cheating”. That is just an excuse for people who don’t give a shit about hurting people.

That is just the tip of the iceberg:
This is exactly why it should throw an error, to make it incredibly obvious something isn’t working correctly so it can be fixed. Otherwise you have wrong logic leading to hard to notice and hard to debug problems in your code

Kacarott@aussie.zoneto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I mean... think I don't have hundreds open at a time with all my memes?English101·2 months agoThe semi-logical reason that I leave so many tabs open, is that I do need/want the tab now, or in the near future, and keeping it in a tab is sort of like a sticky note to remind myself to do it. It rarely works though and just contributes to a growing sense of anxiety as I’m constantly stared down by a huge row of “to-dos”
Don’t be silly, you’ll obviously have your hands full defending your spleen from chipmunks, no time to dial 911
