What a fantasy world you live in. Must be nice. In truth, the state is a gang of thugs and parasites. Has nothing to do with the collective will of the people, a concept which doesn’t exist in reality.

Literally the first paragraph of OPs article: “The plan would impose a 25 percent minimum income tax on anyone worth at least $100 million.” I.e. if your asset size is less than a certain threshold it won’t affect you. So it will require audits of asset size to accurately tax.
It’s the first step in a wealth tax. In the future a government “wealth assessor” will inventory everything you own or invest in, make an arbitrary determination of how much its “worth”, and then set your taxes. Like property tax but a million times more complex and arbitrary.
The theater just projects pirated copies rather than DRM copies
ELI5…what’s leftism?
Game mat, books filled with random tables, spell cards, monster cards, other rpg books, boards games.
Why do you think there isn’t more competition? I was wondering if it was too much red tape/legal risk to start up a business. Everyone is saying how greedy these companies are, so they must be charging way more than a fair price, which means an average Joe should be able to step in and provide the same stuff for a fair price.

Businesses who want to make money need a way to make a product that can’t be trivially reproduced on any basic computer. Or at least a way to distribute their product more conveniently. Everyone always pointed to how piracy declined when streaming was affordable. That was because it was more convenient to stream than make copies and host content yourself. Now that’s reversing again.
Maybe it will be good if the only movies and music that are made are the ones from people with true inspiration. I wonder if Homer only wrote the Odyssey because he knew the state had strong copyright protections?
It was nearby geographically and the guy running it seemed to know what he was doing from a technical aspect.
You mean make a copy of the car then.
I don’t trust any proprietary software. I don’t like putting a lot of work into something only to have the rug pulled out from under me by an arbitrary change from the dev. Open source means I can always keep using the software, even if it means I have to push code myself.
