This is why things like the NY Stock Transaction Tax rebate should be repealed and expanded. And why we need property taxes to apply to these financial holdings. There is currently too much untaxable property that will never be cycled throu

The primary goal is to not contract covid-19.

That is great. But still, vaccinated people shouldn't be told that they cannot get infected. There is this weird misconception floating around that just because we get vaccinated we are somehow immune to covid-19. That is a dangerous a

Vaccines still aren't 100%. This is bad advice from the CDC. It will only lead to anti-masker/vaxxers using this as an excuse for not wearing a mask. Even the fully vaccinated should be wearing a mask around other people. 94%&#x2F

I am in favor of more laziness. Spend 20% of time automating 80% of the work. Spend more time with your loved ones, pets, take longer walks.

I'm not up to date on current industrial-scale solar cell manufacturing processes, but doesn't the manufacturing proccess still require massive amounts of coal? And what is the lifespan of the cells before they have to be replaced

I can't help but wonder, "what's the point?", if this is all going to result in the destruction of our natural habitats in the end anyway.

I'm not very optimistic that we have enough time, nor individuals have enough financial resources, for the market to realize how cheap / efficient these technologies are. We really need this progress implemented as part of large s

also, just to add. The Stock Transfer Tax started in 1909. They were paying until the 80s when the state started rebating it at 100%. Its is a 0.5% sales tax on the value of stock trades, 0.1% on debt and 0.005% on derivatives. The NYSE was

No worries. The STT was first imposed in 1909. They started rebating it at 100% in the 80s. They didn't have the political power to outright abolish it. What should happen now is that rebate should be removed. The STT is a 0.5% sales t

But that is the crux of the issue. Wealth is political power. The only way to mitigate wealth's influence on political institutions requires drastic, systemic changes. The wealthy can be as well meaning as they want, but no individual
