Nice effort, but why? 1) There's no need to capture CO2 2) There's no need to record that on a blockchain or use crypto - you could use Github or Gitlab or IPFS with PGP-signed notary statements. Or push commits to all three. 3) M

That's exactly what it is. Privileges and handouts in exchange for obedience and votes (at least nationally - the EU has gone full CCP with their irreplaceable bureaucrats). > through taxes and inflation, which is the worst kind of

That's the whole point of a bureaucracy: grow, which means spend as much as possible. That 60K/tent makes a whole lot of unionized gov workers, contractors and NGOs happy!

That's very encouraging news for the British taxpayer! Knowing how fanatical the busybodies in the UK government are, it's probably mot going to last long. But it's great news as long as it does.

How does it matter? I don't care what other people do with their money. How is that any of my business or concern? This whole article is ludicrous. I donate (microscopic amounts, comparatively) to causes I care about. Donate, or don&#x

It's shocking that most people still believe public governments ought to exist. Why productive, able-bodied persons to live in a democracy is puzzling. Maybe they've never heard of private government, or think they can beat the sy

I'm happy for them, at least somebody manages to avoid taxes. Shame on Pro Publica for conducting and publicizing anti-public research, by the way. Involuntary taxation is a crime against the people.

Sight, those socialist thugs... All of them are above the minimum, so what does that really achieve? Message for the central planners: you can't tax me anything if I don't work. Or if I work but not here. And let's not forget

Divisive? How? And what's wrong with divisive debates? Do we need more Faucism? Let the people see whatever evidence hasn't been destroyed and make up their mind. I don't need a government Czar to make informed conclusions.

Cool, but to me it's a liability, not an asset. Appreciate the feature but I don't want Google to have anything to do with my searches, password-protected or otherwise.

The NY article is junk. Examples: > We're going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so. A private police force wouldn't rely on after-the-fact payment

It made sense to Tesla then. It may be better "understood by general public today", but it sure as hell wasn't a random, pointless invention 100 years ago.

Nonsense. Yes, you may repair it if you want, that's never been the issue. But then don't come back asking for free service or free replacement parts when you can't fix it or when it breaks next time. The manufacturer has no

Modeling a wealth tax correctly is to not tax anyone. I reject your morality and economics.

Good. When you make everything that's not permitted and highly taxed illegal, you find yourself in a money laundering war you can't win.

What a shitpost... How is it anyone's business how much private employers pay its workers? Meanwhile the Busybody Insider conveniently forgets that the minimum wage rule is immoral, anticompetitive, discriminatory and unconstitutional.
