Oh look, another “political strategist” who literally looks like a reanimated corpse talking shit.

Probably still schadenfreude, since we use the German word in English.

What a horrible name for a Pokémon.

Is that your alternative to voting?

If he gets $223M a year for being a detriment to society, I should be getting at least $446M for being relatively neutral.

Making money by destroying/burying digital media. What a backwards world we live in…

This practice feels like something that should be illegal. Effectively it is destroying art that hundreds or thousands of people worked hard to make, for the sake of fiddling the books of the owning company that commissioned it.

If you “write it off” to be worth zero, it should either become freely available abandonware, or can be claimed as the intellectual property of those that worked on it. Otherwise it is evident that there is some value to be had and therefore tax fraud to claim it has none.

That’s not how GDPR works. You’re legally allowed to request your data and request that it is deleted by the entity that is collecting it and in both cases the company is obliged to act on it.

It’s a slightly longer process to extract tea from a British émigré.

Get yourself one of them Elon chips.

I tend to put bread or crepes under mine.

How can you even pick up butter with Nutella on?

Cookies aren’t good? I feel like that’s a spicier take than Marvel movies.

Have you been eating them like apples?

I think the downvotes are just for the earlier comments where they didn’t come off great. The turnaround post is getting positive.

And personally I loved the ankle analogy. Happy birthday!

Yes. Well, some saying we shouldn’t tax billionaires more and others saying that the money is better off with one private individual setting up companies and charities, rather than leaving that to governmental entities.

To me, someone paying only ~25% tax when earning millions per year is obscene.

It’s interesting as a thought experiment because there’s no real world example of this. Which I guess is the gotcha OP was going for, but kinda fumbled.

Arguably hoarding the wealth for yourself (and even your immediate family), never mind how you accumulated it, is still not “good”. It’s indirectly oppressive to collect a bunch of money, while many suffer, and say “noone else is touching this, it’s mine”.

Very true.

I was just trying to draw attention to some of the comments that are defending them. You’d think from some in here that a little smidge of philanthropy in retirement makes it all okay that one person can hoarde enough personal wealth to feed millions.

Reread my comment. I’m commenting on the content of the comments.
