I’m not sure you understood my point. Moving continents isn’t an average person solution. In fact it exposes another problem - companies can easily register anywhere and restructure their finances for lower taxes.

But the given examples are basic procedures like “wrist x-ray” or “endoscopy”. Surely they have simpler rate calculations than the potential special cases you mention?

> Dividends aren’t great tax wise Tax code can always be fixed if the gov wanted. For some reason, they don’t like profit sharing, only speculation. More tax payout I guess!

> Money is just a store of work So, when you print more of it, whose work is being encapsulated into it? And how do you explain profit margins? You are aware that things aren’t priced at just the cost of work, right?

Are you positing that companies should never go public? Or even if public, that there is no physical limit we can impose on growth expectations?

There is no value in labelling fallacies, unless you have a legitimate point to make outside of being contrarian.

I’m not convinced it’s an AI quality problem - rather, the difficulty of translating natural language into machine requirements. This is an age-old problem, not even restricted to Computer Science.
