I believe the purpose of life is to create possibility. If that’s true, there will never be an incentive to work less so long as there is more possibility to be created (assuming that people are living purposefully, and it seems to me that

Changed my life as well. Accelerated my assimilation of good software principles, management theory, business strategy, and salary negotiation. Accelerated my career by like 40%. And lots of entertainment along the way. Thanks HN!

How should the government decide which taxes to implement, then?

by purplerabbit 3y ago
I think the solution to this is an incremental shift towards property taxes + away from income taxes. Doing so would nullify the investment arms race that’s turning home ownership into a sick financial game. If you’re paying 6%/year in
