i'm not sure what precisely you're trying to say. If P(t) is the global population at time t and P' is dP/dt, then you're saying 1. P(2020) is huge, and 2. P'(2020) is low P' -> 0 as t increases beyon

How big is the set of people that can work remotely from wherever they choose to live and also would value $15k enough for it to play a significant role in that choice?

I don't have a super-well formed opinion about this but I think a wealth tax has some issues that don't get enough attention. Like that the market value of an asset can fluctuate wildly and become untethered from the actual ration

Like most articles about this topic, this one does not take note of the fact that average fringe benefits have grown during the same time period. I don't know what fraction of the relative decline in real wages that makes up, but it is
