why not just raise income tax rates? because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”. you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens. you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.) the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen. the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure. it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking. that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all. i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%. want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes. want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…

@MattGlantz Ok fine, but which reason will the market find to rip higher off of this? Lol

Japan could be blowing up. Nothing concrete has broken yet, but the smoke is there. Rates are grinding up even though the government is desperate to keep them down. This is the biggest risk to our market in the US right now. The "quiet" risk is about to get very loud.

i’d argue you’re too easily moved by the choice words. “privilege” and “equality” are selected because they confuse the notion of fairness. another way to frame his statement “if you’re accustomed to succeeding due to hard work, ingenuity, risk/sacrifice, and, sure, some amount of luck, having the outcomes reset so that everyone is rewarded more equally feels unfair.” is succeeding after making good choices, sacrificing personally, and working hard really “privilege”? is it oppressive that everyone doesn’t get to the same place? perhaps the real oppression is the loss of individual liberties when naively egalitarian philosophies mutate into marxism, denying opportunities for individual sacrifice, effort, and achievement to be rewarded. framed as privilege v equality misses the mark.. equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are v different things. silicon valley’s most successful are the immigrants who found america as one of the only places on earth where an individual with zero baseline privilege can struggle and sacrifice and effortfully succeed. calling them privileged after the fact seems hardly the point. but an easy one to make.

If I had to go long a “surprising health trend” over the next decade the way I did anti-seed oils in 2016, I think I’d go long on fruit juice and sugar being reclaimed as healthy. Will break many millennial brains the way “saturated fats are fine” is hard for Gen X/boomers.

For anyone that has won more than $5000 from a player funded bad beat jackpot in poker.... did the casino force you to "take taxes out" (withholding) from your winnings?

Instant bidon collé pour Lenny Martinez, qui ne prend même pas de bidon au final. Le groupe de tête a 2 minutes d'avance sur le peloton maillot jaune. Le contre où se trouve Jordan Jegat est à près d'une minute. #TDF2025

@Tratnikstan Feel like Morkov is the obvious exception, made quite a name for himself as a leadout. Maybe Renshaw too.

And even if you are incredibly good at your job, you won't be noticed unless the leadoutman and/or sprinter are one of the best. Unless you are a superstar that is. In that case everyone will salivate even when you take the smallest pull

Being a setup man for sprints must be one of the worst jobs to have in cycling. The commentators and media never mention you despite being incredibly important for your spritner's success.

that he has been exceptionally unlucky in the Tour ... and indeed, at least two of his DNFs in the Tour have been due to freak events: 2022: hay bale 2024: unmarked road furniture causing a rider to spill from one side of the road to another (10/n)

I've been bothered by the story of how Roglič always crashes and "if you crash that much, it can't just be bad luck" .... Yesterday, I decided to investigate by doing some statistics. The results are surprising 🤯 (1/n)

Day in my life as a level 5 $ABNB Engineer > 5:00 AM Wake up. Life is so much better now that I'm not a level 4. House is empty - wife left me for the shaman but no big deal. Head outside without bottoms to get some raw morning sun on the "family jewels", then back inside for a little more shuteye. > 8:00 AM Timed released caffeine pill I paid $10 for kicks in, wake up hungry and ready for what the day brings. App latency is hyper low, but support requests are through the roof. Interesting. > 8:20 AM Blend erewhon salad with two ten dollar "Super Strawberries". Sprinkle in some soy, swallow, and I'm ready to roll baby. > 9:00 AM Hop in the Tesla, make sure my "I bought this before 2024" bumper stick is still on, San Francisco is really dangerous this time of year. Queue up some of Chamath's podcast before I pull out of the driveaway, always drive safe. > 10:00 AM Arrive in office. Speak to HR briefly to sell another 20,000 of Level 5 RSUs I was awarded. "Now Cluseau, we want you to remain invested, why not sell 19,000 instead?" I agree. Now that I'm single and ready to mingle, I don't need to carry that much cash. > 10:30 AM Sit down at desk. Product Manager arrives, tells me the content moderation system is overloaded. How could that be? > 11:30 AM Begin sifting through the tickets, seems reviews are being flagged for "best Tuggies", "might've lost some kids but never felt more relaxed", "the slop and top of NYC". Huh? I thought we were an apartment rental company? > 12:00 PM Day ruined. While getting to the cause of these weird "erroneous" reviews, HR comes in. Tells us that in the age of Chatgpt our output of 25 lines of code a day just isn't enough. Share awards for 2025 have been reduced to just 18,000 per level 5 instead of 20,000. My coworker, Roberta, is brought to tears and hurries to the inclusive bathroom. Sucks for me, I have to take a dump but I don't want to run in to her. Decide to hold it in. > 1:30 PM Finally! Something exciting! Bunch of "investors" wearing suits walk in. Start yelling at management about "total return since 2021" I think? Can't hear them, but can see commotion in the glass office. Product Manager tells us to get back to work, nothing to worry about. > 1:45 PM Delicious lunch. More synthetic strawberries with oat derived "cream". Doesn't quite hit the spot, whip out the phone beneath the desk and have a minority bring me something tasty off Doordash. Careful, can't be seen doing this since we are competitors! > 3:00 PM McKinsey consultants arrive, this time they are even worse than the logo consultants, they're "optimization consultants". Ugh. The worst. They tell us the $50 Million we've spent on the most recent corporate rebrand isn't working, that costs will need to be cut. PM interjects, agrees to reduce hiring 50 UC grads to just 48 and quickly ends the conversation. I grin. No wonder the shareholders love him, one day I'll have the balls to make decisions like that too. > 4:00 PM Head back home, it's been a "tough day". Decide to light one up and listen to some "All In". Learning about regional bank failures in 2023, wow, they're so smart! > 5:00 PM Get confirmation from HR the 19,000 RSUs were liquidated. Finally crack open the email from the founder of "Basic" who is pledging to help everyday Americans. If I inject some seed capital, people might not have to work until they are 75, just until 70. Wow! Quickly sign the docs, this seems like a great idea. > 7:00 PM Get a text from the ex-wife. Needs some help since her new hubby has some child support in arrears and a new court case, but hey, at least she's texting me. Smile to myself... things are really looking up
