> The big flaw in his argument is that a mere 1% which is actually 20% of annual return is still less than the average income tax rate on workers

This is untrue btw

50% of people in the US pay effectively no net taxes

>If that is what is being targeted, then why not actually target that. Apply some percent taxation on the current value of all assets transferred because of death.

That already exists. The rate is 40% of the asset value.

CEOs are democratically elected. And if they do a bad job they are democratically removed from office.

What are you talking about??

>For instance - If overhiring happened, how is this not at least a little bit on the individual that approved of a hiring spree? Why is it that they should be able to yield a baton that hurts the workers they hired, without having to actual bare the brunt of the decisions?

Do you think shareholders do not consider their employees performance when deciding to hire/keep them?

Do you think CEOs don't do that when it comes to their executive team?

Do you think the executive team doesn't consider that?

It all comes flowing down.

I can assure you as a shareholder i am 100% focused on getting a return, and I will fire (or vote to fire) any executives that i believe are doing a bad job, or who accept that their underlings do a bad job.

Hiring people, and then firing them some time later is not intrinsically the same as doing a bad job, nor does it mean there was "overhiring".

Also. "hurts workers"? What?

Workers receive the payments that were agree to, for the period that was agreed to. No more, no less.

You are no more entitled to a job than the supermarket is entitled to my patronage, and me choosing to no longer purchase from you, whether it be groceries or labor, is not me hurting you.

Why should people who are profitable to employ be laid off as well?

It just sounds like you're upset and want to hurt whoever you feel is responsible for making you upset. That's not a productive stance to have on important topics.

They don't have a PE ratio. They have never made a profit.

Cloudflare has never made a profit.

Is your stance that shareholders should perpetually subsidize it out of the goodness of their hearts?

While that does sound interesting, I don't see any benefit for me.

It would still ultimately exfiltrate the data outside of my control, and frankly i don't trust any "secure enclave" tech.

As far as i'm concerned physical access is root access, and for any private stuff that is wholly unacceptable.

I just use the API directly. It's simple enough to setup and i like the control i get from just charging up and not having to worry about any random subscription taking money out of my account

I've been using v4 pro for the past few days and honestly in terms of quality it seems more or less on par with open AIs 5.4 or opus 4.6 (i havent tried 4.7)

To be clear, i'm not doing state of the art stuff. I mostly used it for frontend development since i'm not great at that and just need a decent looking prototype.

But for my purposes it's a perfectly good model, and the price is decent.

I can't wait for open model small enough for me to run locally come out though. I hate having to rely on someone elses machines (and getting all my data exfiltrated that way)

You request the judge to apply a lien on their assets. You take that to their bank and request that it be applied, and the money paid out.

If that doesn't work, you can always go to the police/bailiff with the court order and schedule a date/time for them to go with you to their offices to seize and auction off their stuff.

Such censorship shouldn't exist in the first place.
