This is why the wealth tax will fail to fix inequality. Eventually your parents shitty 250k house out in the sticks will qualify for wealth tax. Whatever stocks you have that aren't in a retirement account will be wealth taxed even tho

If I don't want cookies, "technical" or otherwise, I'll browse incognito mode or block them by some other means. I don't need a European bureaucrat to get involved. Thanks.

I can't imagine how frustrating this is for business owners. There are a bunch of obviously fake reviews by people in India on the local GNC branch. If you just look at the star rating, you'll think "Wow, that place must suck

I was thinking this could be a good way to get lame blogs banned off HN. Just order some upvotes for it from one of those banned upvoting services. No one is going to believe someone else ordered it.
