WTH = Wealth Tax Henceforth!

I just watched the playthrough and there’s already a film adaptation in the works.

My concern was that not everybody can afford to buy a house, but back in the day people on a receptionist income could buy a house, so if we go back to those days, house ownership would rise again. And as others made me realise, the stuff standing empty for investment would be sold to be used again and outsized homes could be sold to be repurposed as social housing or jousing outright.

Good point! Yes, larger estates could be sold to be used for housing multiple people or indeed for building new housing. Thank you

Well, there is a lack of houses for rent at the moment. Aaand, while writing that, I remembered that there are lot of things standing empty because they are for investment! If those were forced to be sold, that would add more housing stock on the market.

Thanks for the comment.

The idea is to make the wealthy sell some of their assets. Thus driving the price of those assets down. If people horde fewer houses, the market of buyers shrinks and prices fall.

But who will they be selling to? I imagine it will be people who actually want to live in their homes, not just rent them out. Wouldn’t that reduce the number of available homes people can rent?

Don’t sex workers drink on the job too?

Hopefully they have a few for Ukraine!

Androgynous people are going to have a bad time.

There are two sexes, right? And multiple genders? But what about all the sex chromosome anomalies? I’m curious what sex those people would have under this law.

We should all be reporting these racist fucks and their reviews too.

I don’t know how to make Valve aware of the blatant racism going on. Maybe they only look at twitter and reddit and there needs to be a “shitstorm” about the harassment the devs are facing. It’s despicable how it just continues to happen and there doesn’t seem to be a “account banned for improper conduct” on most of those fasches.

It better be. They stole saved so many artifacts!

No, it was god. You must be misremembering in your old age :P

No-one is saying “stop building solar and wind”. Nuclear is for transitioning and should’ve been built 10-20 years ago, but now is also a good time.

Better blame an immigrant!

It’s better than coal and oil. People shit the bed because of 2 big events that happened to old reactor types which were susceptible to such errors.

Honestly, would you rather live in a world where nuclear and gas are used to transition or coal and oil? Wind and solar still can’t power all of Europe 24/7. Solutions are being worked on, tested, and built, but in the meantime, I’ll sleep better with coal and oil centrals being replaced by nuclear. They will use less space, provide more stable power, and serve as a fine transition until the storage issue has been solved.

Of course subsidies for coal and oil should be phased out ASAP, but let’s not paint a pure coal and oil transitional period as better.

Germany is a already a nazi state. The elections are just lagging. If the majority were really against Nazis, these fucks wouldn’t even be in parliament, but the majority is just silently OK with it because they either don’t vote or vote for AfD-lite.

Not only the average voter is OK with the narrative, the editor of newpapers like DW are too:

After the AfD, which is classified as partly right-wing extremist, became the strongest force in the city of 265,000 inhabitants with 24.7% of votes in the federal elections in February, it is now hoping for more success deep in western Germany.

They have been classified right-wing, not “partly”.

Will somebody shoot this guy to make him a martyr?

My dreams have certainly changed, but they aren’t smaller. My dreams now involve space travel to other galaxies and particle physics, which is different from what I dreamt of as a kid which was building a space elevator, drilling to the middle of the earth, and solving world poverty. Well, the last one was naively assuming that poverty was a natural result in a world of benevolent humans.

The universe is still infinite. Take a look at this “Timelapse of the future of the universe” and tell me it doesn’t make you dream of how different our existence could be. Or this one about Egoistic Altruism.
