  • This is stupid. We pay other people to do things we can’t or don’t want to do all the time. That’s what economy is.

    The fact that people who order takeout could also cook at home instead doesn’t diminish the impact of the inflation spikes that began with Putlers invasion. You can’t fix the problems of neoliberalism on an individual level.



  • It’s trivial to design an inheritance tax that doesn’t tax a family’s (first) home and starts above a certain amount (500k, a million, two, make it 10 for all I care) that still allows lower and middle classes to build reasonable wealth. It’s also not that hard to not have a million loopholes for the excessively rich. That only gets difficult when people fall for the usual lies, like “businesses will close down and you will lose your jobs”.

    Start penalizing tax havens like Ireland.

    Tax based on passport, allow for taxes at their place of residence to take priority (so, you can pay low taxes in Ireland, but if it’s less than our tax, you pay the rest here), tax them a lot if they relinquish their passport. No need to start international beef about this.






  • I hear it every time: But Muh Windows is better, because you dont have to install Drivers!!!11!11elf

    I come from a time when you (in Windows) had to hand pick the correct driver for the individual device from a very long list of options to make anything work, not just graphics. Not just “the nvidia driver”. Think “driver for the Sapphire RTX 12345.6.7-8 pro super max whatchamacallit RGB edition with anime waifu on the backplate, manufactured between May 21st and august 15th, quality controlled by Jeff and packaged by Tony”. If your card was packaged by Bertha instead it wouldn’t work. (Mine was always packaged by Bertha. Fuck Bertha.)

    I feel so fucking old when I read complaints like this (yeah, I know, it’s because I am). Is clicking the highest version number behind the word “nvidia” considered complicated nowadays?
