Here is a popular press article on it. It is easy to locate github repositories and research groups developing it.

Thank you!

Yes. It seems there is a need to build in protections from the “brutal shutdowns” early. I don’t have a solution, but it needs to be addressed at the start.

I am sorry you had this experience. It is fairly common.

There is a place for gradually opening people’s eyes to a situation. If one goes too hard too fast, then they will reject any truth presented to them. (It is frustrating that the process starts over for each individual.)

you were never serious about fighting it

Yeah. I just think most people are no where near serious about fighting it. To effectively fight it, the unserious people need to help.

the people who have a minority not coddle them

What does this mean? Why would a minority coddle a majority person?

Messaging matters. The last part encourages United States residences to give up, or join the fascists (“I like my country, so fascists must be great!”). One can just be like “here are ten roots of fascism, try to work with your friends and neighbors to stop doing those”.

a 9.9% income tax on earnings above $1m

advocacy groups and unions opposing the initiative say taxing the state’s 20,000 highest-earning households could raise approximately $3.5bn in necessary annual revenue

Backing out the numbers (also rounding the tax up to 10%), the $3,500,000,000 in revenue is on $35,000,000,000 in income. Spread over 20,000 households and add a million per household for the portion not taxed, that is an average of $2,750,000 in income per household being taxed an additional $275,000.

Seems fair like a fair price for living in a safe and stable community that makes possible earning so much.

Clearly reprehensible, but consider for a moment. Los Angeles and San Diego, at least 20 years ago, were the Republican voting big cities in California. Even if Republicans are not getting that same share of the vote now, there will be many Republican leaning people there. It seems just a shade worse on an already pitch black message.

There are so many other systems. We haven’t even tried most of them in your lifetime.

Thank you. This is great.

Yes. Please list one.

Pulling forward the first paragraph of the article, as we are far from universally reading articles these days.

Hacker News (aka HN) is a link aggregator where “hackers” gather to discuss technology, politics, and anything which “good hackers would find interesting”. HN is a means by which its host, prominent startup incubator Y Combinator, projects soft power, promotes startups it funds, and feeds people with ideas into its incubation program. Hacker News is one of the most popular forums for discussing technology online today – perhaps the biggest.

Does any know of a pro-union or pro-cooperative startup incubator?

Might mean “silicon”, but might want to bang the LLM. Hard to know.

Words have meaning…

See! You don’t need a care for most errands.

indigenous nation

We don’t know the player’s characters aren’t indigenous.

I know this one! Not all countries provide tax deductions for marriage. I was going to say there is not one in Japan, but on looking it up, it is more complicated than I care to look at. (I understand spouses tend to have separate finances, but I am far from Japan.)

The historical lens on taxes and marriage is also as complex as one might think.

Point being, in your setting, marriage does not need to have any tax implications at all.

Edit: Removed paywalled link about history of marriage.

It would seem the amount of rent one can charge relative to purchase price is country related (likely also region dependent). Everything you have described is a strange version of the opposite here.

It is often repeated on various “build up your wealth” guides as the “1% rule”. here is a random link I found by searching, but there are many others, that directly states “The 1% rule says: monthly rent should be at least 1% of purchase price. On a $200,000 property, you’d want monthly rent of $2,000+.”

We clearly head different things about “landlording”. My knowledge of landlording is mostly from online references suggesting how to do it well, and the remaining if horror stories from associates who didn’t do any research.

Thank you! I thought Kraft was in Macklemore.

Edit: I have since learned Macklemore is a person, not a band, and I have been playing his music.

Yup. Rent needs to go up so as the monthly rent needs to be 1/100 of the purchase price. (A general rough guide on rent prices.)

Not going to escape this until we have free places to live and store some stuff.
