I suspect a lot of mansions and compounds would become bank and company owned and the billionaires homes addresses would all be in the nearest tax haven.
It would probably do wonders for all the empty highrises in Boston and NYC, where all the Chinese and Arab oil wealth is stored.
I did, we weren’t going to have kids but decided to when we were in a financially and emotionally stable enough time in our lives.
We decided to have 1 child with the hopes that he can be a force for good. Maybe he’ll invent a solution to some of these problems. Or help find the cure to some climate borne diseases.
At the very least we’re raising him to be a compassionate human, who can at least offset one of the assholes who are helping ruin the place’s kids. We no nothing is guaranteed, but things are going well 7 years in. 11 more to go (I know it’s really more like 5 before we get tweeted out, and 20 before he can move out, but I can dream).
You mean income tax.
His stock options would be capital gains. But the loan trick works on either one. No selling stock, no capital gains taxes, paycheck/salary, no income taxes.
But you still get mansions, compounds and mega yacht fleets.
If he’s smart he’s not taking a pay check. They get bank loans backed by stock. They never part them of and the bank just assumes the estate will settle it.
They have to bet on Nvidia staying valuable enough to cover the loans though. (Or not, hence the adage about owing the bank a billion dollars).
Even if it doesn’t take long, it’s helpful for some if they get an explanation that shows your expertise. Which is lots of what they’re paying for usually.
They’ll just give you government issue glasses
IE one more screen based thing to distract from the fact that other humans exist.
Rear cameras make sense and help people who might no be tall enough or flexible enough to twist and look out the rear window.
But the front camera will be a distraction from lying proper attention while driving forward.
We need more vans really, but consumers (who can afford the fucking things) are too insecure to drive anything that might make their wieners look small.
Or giving Trump an excuse to cash out of his shares.
The ruskies should be extra nervous about drones these days too.
“Is drugs? Or about to blow a spire off the kremlin?
Very few software engineers deserve to be called engineers. It devalues the term for the rest of them.
Right, Hardly anyone goes to prison for tax evasion. Especially once it’s paid off.
You could be liable for UP TO 5 years. Which means your have to be pretty fucking flagrant.
Also he pled guilty, it wasnt the “minimum” bullshit you claim.
Just try not to leave the few remaining people who depend on you, up shit creek. Get a will.
I bet more than half of us didn’t want him to go to jail for something that no one else would have gone to jail for if they weren’t a political pawn.
What if we disarmed the police at the same time?
Gas prices have been lower than average too.
Yeah 1.4mb floppies (not just AOL diskettes) we’re still everywhere when CF cameras came out.
Is that why his chest looks so fucked up too?
It’s also roughly the size and population of Texas alone. Does it have a wildly unfair Electoral College?
There were great local stations that played alternative and indie rock though. Especially if you were near a medium+ sized city or college town.
Now there are a few left and you can stream them, but unless you live in about 5 markets it’s all Clearchannel (I heart radio bullshit).
The yo-dog of knives. Besides Swiss Army knives anyway.
