>The ultra wealthy's wealth is primarily in business ownership or equity which is only taxed on gains when it's sold.

So for the rich to unlock their wealth and make it usable they have to pay a tax? Well, let's tax it again, why not? And as for property already be taxed? Why not have two taxes? The more taxes the better. The war with Iran isn't going to pay for itself.

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 though half their growth is just from inflation. It's going to suck.

Firefox is creepy AF. I was just listening to "Diamond Ned Flanders" by MadeinTYO on Apple Music, and when I open Firefox the "suggested article" on the front page is about Ned Flanders. That's some Facebook type shit right there. Uninstalled.

So true. I saw this vulnerability was posted a day ago, and immediately flagged.

Yeah, the Chicago Tribune putting cookies in your browser is just like distributing tainted meat. Got it.

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.
