  • You have 3 wishes.

    First wish: I wish my last wish would count as me consuming two wishes. Second wish: I wish to have 0 wishes remaining.

    First wish puts you down one wish, so ending at 2. Second wish removes one wish, so at one, then wish happens putting you at 0,

    then because this second wish now becomes your last, as you have 0 remaining, the first wish then takes effect and consumes another wish, putting you to - 1 and overflowing.




  • Same. But I think their argument is that the investment is a net positive, but only if you actually get them to invest in your country and not the neighbours.

    I can see why they would think that, but I agree with you that in reality it isn’t beneficial.

    Id rather have internal companies invest in that hole in the market than reduce the taxes to have someone foreign invest in it, while moving a lot of that money out, leaving a tiny surplus. It would be better for that internal investment to leave a LARGE surplus, and have no money leave.


  • The argument that makes more sense I’ve seen in this line of thought is that it will stop NEW investment in your country by people on the outside. If someone is expanding and considering your country or another with less taxes, they will go there and not give your country the value growth of their business, leading to less taxes for you. The low tax is incentive to come invest.

    Do what you can when you can, and live the rest of your time in peace knowing you did your best with what you had.

    Could you have done more? Sure, but at what cost?

    Organized protest when your voice can bring change, then go back to focusing on your local community where the stakes are smaller, but you still get the wins. Get others to join when the topic comes up, but accept that people need boundaries to stay sane, and might have different capacity than you.
