Power accumulation in families would be through the roof. I get that it feels crude when you can’t pass on all your wealth to your children, but it would widen the wealth gap so so much in just a couple generations. Is there another reason you think it should be untaxable?

How about no financial products, period. No loans, no mortgage, only rent-to-own or rent. Obfuscating financial products into more complex combined financial products is half of the economy crashes. Obfuscate the numbers, steal, grab, pillage while no one can understand what the frickel you are doing and BAM: profit on the backs of normies who are tOo dumb to understand what a margin call is or why CDO’s are here to violate you. All financial products are a scam waiting in ambush, waiting for another bank-bro to think of a way they can leach from society without giving anything back.

It’s good enough, and that’s really great!
Hahaha, damn. I think I’d raise my eyebrows too if I saw you typing on that in the train. But hey, if it works, it works!
I like typing on my Surface Pro 7 on the go, how can a flabby shallow keyboard like that even be comfortable? I don’t know, but it is. I have a ducky one 3 keyboard with blue switches at home to compare with. I like typing on both of them :-)
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?241·1 month agoMy dad tried this same trick and wanted to influence my relationship with my mom (who had an affair). I told him I understand his feelings but that he could never talk that way to me again or I would cut him out of my life immediately. This is my mom you’re talking about.
I can’t have other folks then myself decide who I interact with. It’s not like I’m taking sides or feel great about her actions, but I wasn’t gonna stop seeing her because it hurts someone else.
I never was that direct with my parents before, but it felt like if that line would be crossed it would all come crumbling down.

Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Since it won't happen the other way around, how do I get people to approach ME in public?8·2 months agoWhere there’s a will, there’s a toupee . I am blessed with a full, thick, luscious dark blonde coupe, but everyone around being so negative about hairpieces made me think about them a lot… Following that, I have come to peace with the fact that I might go bald, and I might not like it, and rando hairpiece-haters around me won’t stop me from going all 18th century on my new hairpiece.
My first own house was in the middle of a lot of cultures that are different from my own, and man did those folks LOVE changing their hair every few days, with pieces or otherwise. Every second shop was selling surrogate hair, and it looked very cool. I think that part of those cultures is fucking rad, and it inspired me to pre-emptively accept my own future toupee, if it ever comes to that.
Awwww, it doesn’t even say “This is the year of the Linux desktop!”
With great sacrifice, comes great responsibility…
We take what we can get, and keep going.

Basically it’s really great to have this card out for yourself, and pretty horrible if it’s on your opponent’s side.
