I was thinking more along the lines of my purchase price is x + y tax + -z tax. A return eventually isn't quite the same, but maybe it's effectively the same.

Well I was thinking more along the lines of the price of a good is x, plus y taxes, reduced by -z tax. Subsidys might effectively be similar, but it won't be calculated the way "positive" taxes are.

There are major strikes in Germany about Quality of Life issues right now. I think France might be having strikes too now, but I haven't investigated the one clip I saw.

Saying you are "transformational to [their] company" implies the companies are in need of, or could be improved by, transformation - that can be a rather foreign idea to many people who are used to maintaining the status quo.

How does this work? The rate and therefore value is fixed in contract? Is that why the previous tenant rent is used and not a market rate?

New people will constantly be finding zig, and they will constantly be wondering why they should pick up zig, they will find that reference, and share it to educate others! You can see this happening with the duplicate stories that show up

Most information in most spaces is noise. Finding the signal in the noise is difficult in every area, and restricting colloquial (or philosophical) discussion because of overlap with a medical field seems rather harsh to me. We need to lear

You are certainly correct it is working for them - the concentration of wealth is getting worse and worse. [edit 1: added the below] I don't think the best idea in the room wins - the most persuasive person's idea usually wins. [e

I am disagreeing - why would more money make you inherently smarter? His premise that smart parents make more more is unquestionably false when 99% (or something) of wealth is transferred via inheritance - people don't generally get ri
