That sounds like a great idea. It would devalue the dollar a bit but you can print new price tags. Just create a new similar shit coin

Sometimes it's hard but with things like gold it's pretty obvious.

Like you should stop blaming someone half way beating you up. Running away seems a valid option. Europe seems a good place to run to. Who would have thought.

I was once asked to look at some letters by a reasonably fresh immigrant coworker. (He learned the language and found a job in a few months which to me should be all we needed from him) He brought a 1980 style stack of paper 30cm thick and

Certainly, but it's about as useful as comparing the range of a radio with that of a car. We might also compare tax revenue. For the US 1% wealth tax (for the 0.1%) would generate 250ish billion while 1% income tax would also generate

So 5% wealth tax would be the same as 100% income tax, 6% would de 120% AND 100% wealth tax would be the same as 2000% income tax. I think some relevant factors are missing. What is the polite way of putting it... Ah right! You are a clown!

It means whatever is convenient. If you are looking to monetize knowledge you would use it like "your car", half way your books are just books you've purchased a copy of, at the other end your car is now mine. I found an aban

I think it should work like this: government buys everything zoned as a store, restaurant or pub at a deliberate unfair rate. Create A budget for maintenance. If you want to open a store you wait for a vacancy and apply. Citizens may vote f

If they think you are a fraudster or terrorist (etc) they have to refuse giving you an account and must silently report you. What would happen if they skip/delay the reporting part?

Yeah, so they say. The eu it self has a faceless committee that debanks people without a day in court or any oversight. The us also freely debanks people (and their family!) in the eu without any kind of legal process. https://ww

They no longer have to limit themselves to forking software but can do a global Google Burgers in a single prompt. It will no doubt be a huge success before shut down.

Bit like Moldova automating government because there simply was no money for armies of overpaid burocrates.

Surely the funny part is that china is now miles ahead of the west and, in stead of debugging our mistakes, we look for ways to cut off our nose to spite our face.

Boss, I make 16.50 per hour, say 15, I work 36 hours, say 35, say 500 per week, say 4 weeks per month, that's only about 2000! Don't you agree I need a raise?

I use to have a neighbor with a car that made all nearby buildings shake, 5am every morning, idling for 3-4 minutes. It always made me laugh but it never struck me as beautiful.

Normal roof tiles are just as ugly as solar panels. They should simply make panels in all sizes so that they cover the roof properly. You probably need only a few custom size ones. I forget who but it reminds me of electric cars with speake

Seeing is believing I guess? I often joke that the company I work for did the same job 100 years ago but they only had manual laborers on hundreds of locations. They made the work schedule, they did recruitment. they filled out the contract
