Its common to see this hot money concept in a lot of farming. I cant tell you how many farmers I know who have no money in drought seasons, but they bought a Mercedes in the good years.

Am i reading that right? Its making the videos that look real, from the simplistic input?

If so, that is amazing.

And if so, how do I turn a video I have into a simple/line version, to be able to then put a different 'skin' on it?

I gave up on that page very early. Its horrible.

That being said, I have a tax theory. Forgetting about the political power required to do such a thing. Would it be possible to do away with all the taxes and replace them with a very low sales tax that gets applied to everything. e.g. Farmer buys a cow, pay 1% sales tax Milk wholesaler buys the milk to process, pay 1% sales tax Shop buys the milk to sell, pay 1% sales tax Shop buys labour to work in the shop (staff), pay 1% sales tax I buy milk to consume, pay 1% sales tax

More examples. Trade BitCoin, pay 1% sales tax Sell a house, pay 1% sales tax Trade shares, pay 1% sales tax

I accept some of this will be hard to police without the incentive for smaller businesses to claim the tax back.

I believe the key to making this work, is having no possible way to get exemptions. Doesn't matter if you don't make a profit, you still pay, doesn't matter if you are a organisation looking to on-sell or a consumer, every transaction pays and no way to offset this.

Finding the magic % would be difficult, but is the key part. Would this be possible? Where could I go on the inter webs to ask if such a scenario would even be possible

I am in Australia. But sounds like a good idea.

I think someone HN suffers this also, not already first, by early.

Some of the best HN comments can come late and never make it to the top.

I have to ask why?

I have a team of male devs, and for my last hire really wanted a female for a different perspective and help balance the team, however only received 1 not ideal female application.

At the end of the day, oldgeeks mean you are discriminating (filtering out the young), why should it not work on gender also? Its all just different levels of discrimination.

Just a idea which I am sure would be easy given what you currently have, femalegeekjobs.com
