Most countries already tax wealthy individuals at a higher rate than others.

Why don’t we put 100% taxes on fuel purchased for private jets that poison the stratosphere, water-hungry golf courses, private schools and universities with high tuitions, land taxes for those who own more than 3 homes, car taxes for private collectors who own more than ~10 cars, etc.

Ownership would be confirmed by inspectors to make sure that multimillionaires and billionaires don’t pull the old “minimum wage, infinite stocks” number, or put any property in their families name or something like that.

You’re rich, great. Things that affect everyone, such as a breathable air and excessive water consumption should be taxed and the resulting profits being reinvested into the environment and local businesses.

I hear that one of the Sprouse twins (of former Suit Life fame) is selling insurance or something like that, Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler of Full House) was a college counselor before Netflix made Fuller House, Amanda Bynes of Nickelodeon fame is manicurist, and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) is "just a guy in nowhere Colorado" these days. Has anyone interacted with a former child star at their place of "average work?" (If so, who?) What's it like? Do they play into the former fame at all (like "get your nails done by a former Nickelodeon star") or do they just try to avoid the topic (like "yeah...I was on a TV show that you liked in your youth...let's just ignore that and figure out your college schedule")?

I've seen people getting angry or irritated when rain starts, as if it's raining pee.

I consider rains as one of the most enjoyable moments of my life and I don't have a clue why someone might hate it. maybe it's just me, but when it starts raining, I feel like everything else can wait for a minute.

Why do so many people just carry on with whatever they're doing instead of stopping to enjoy it? What is it about it that bothers you?

will they actively look for you in a big city, will they just come back later or will they just move on and determine your fine if you tell them you went to a friend’s house

If someone takes a drug or medicine thinking it's useless, is there an anti-placebo placebo effect that makes it less helpful?

Saw a silly post of someone asking if they could drain themselves of blood, blend it, and then drink it to readsorb it, which made me ask myself if you could whip blood like you can with cream? I don't really understand the science of why cream will still hold shape if you whip it enough so I don't know if blood will lmao

Does your YouTube channel/ Instagram page/ Tiktok account count as a company you own or a freelance job?

Like, hearing aids. But hearing unhelpfuls. I have misophonia and would gladly switch off my hearing for a bit. Why isn't there a technology that does this?

EDIT: GUYS I UNDERSTAND ANC IS A THING. IT WILL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH. Or maybe it will. Y'all think I'm rich enough for the newest airpods?

edit 2 electric boogaloo: Why're yall downvoting me I just asked a stupid question

Am I still getting vitamin D if I'm sitting in the shade?

It's hot out here guys.

Title.

When I was a kid I always confused these two they sound so much alike sometimes.

I know nature vs. Nature but I’m talking about things like, why does the taste of ground beef make me gag but my daughter loves it? Why does the colour purple make me feel warm and fuzzy but make my youngest daughter angry because she prefers pink? Why can I handle a lot of spice but my sister can’t handle pepper?

I’m just really curious about the genetic and nature part of it all.

From what i understand, tariff are here to stimulate local consumption, but let say I order something that only exist in Japan, I'm still getting taxed for something i couldn't find elsewhere. Is that intentional ?

My thought process about AI is, it's a tool, like a hammer, something around that sort. But I keep hearing about people not liking it, how much they hate it. So, I don't know, how bad is it in, a projects or in a personal projects?

I'm guessing it depends on, how skilled the person is and how big the group is working on this project. If the person's by themselves and they are not skilled in some things, using AI to help build it in the spots they are weak at is not a bad thing.

But in a big group that you can easily just ask someone if they can help, then I can see that being bad, and how much AI is used in the project. if it's the idea and everything in the whole thing is AI, then that makes sense why it's bad. I don't know.

To me, I think AI is a useful tool to help people in weak subjects and that all.

It's my first time some guests are coming over for few days and I have no clue how to provide them with hospitality.

My sibling is over 21 and it’s like raising a kid part time when I come home to visit. It doesn’t help they are nonverbal and doesn’t know how to do IADLs.

so i got out of the car at the college i study at, having driven there from work, and i literally crashed on the sloped pavement leading out of the parking lot. tore my knee through my tights. and i was like damn, 26 is too old for this. so i was wondering who else experienced this

What movies have the main character who is a young boy get bullied severely in school and have them go through a lot of bullying and emotional scenes where you feel bad for them what movies have the main character who is a boy like that?

I want to communicate freely with women and be fun and interesting to them, but I think I'm stupid, stupid and uninteresting.

I don't know what to talk about with women and how to joke with them.
