Here’s the basic idea of what I’d think is fair

You have a basic rate for income below the 20th percentile of all incomes

Multiply that by 1.5 for income between that and the 40th percentile

Multiply that by 1.25 for income between that and the 60th percentile

Multiply that by 1.125 for income between that and the 80th percentile

Multiply that by 1.0625 for income between that and the 95th percentile

Multiply that by 1.03125 for income between that and the 99th percentile

Multiply that by 1.015625 for all income above the 99th percentile, with the additional caveat that people who top this bracket even once cannot hold public office, donate to political campaigns, or hire lobbyists and lobbying firms for ten years following them topping out.

Imagine something similar for taxes on units of housing owned, dividends earned, and so on and so forth.

The idea being that the highest rate can’t be adjusted without significantly reducing the tax burden of the poorest, basically erasing the only way conservatives have been able to balance the books whenever they try that shit.

Here’s hoping the SGA and UAW win their bouts too!

Fucks sake even the original projects are just repainted iteration, Moana, Frozen, and Encanto are all Disney Princess stories, MAOI EVEN CRACKS JOKES ABOUT IT!

As if the micro plastics crisis hasn’t already made the “pie in the sky” solution a necessity at this point

I think it doesn’t have the same problem a challenger to other social media sites would have.

A Facebook killer has to contend with everyone’s friends already being on Facebook, same for Twitter, Instagram, and so on. This problem is probably why threads links to your Instagram account, to try and convince users that their friends are all technically already on the site!

With reddit though? Nobody’s on Reddit because of who they know, in fact people discovering each other’s handles will sometimes lead to frantic account deletions and reinstallations.

For this reason, I think Lemmy will do much better than other killer sites, however, it’s probably still not going to surpass Reddit by a longshot, mainly because while nobody cares about their friends already being on Reddit, they will care about not wanting to go through the bother of creating a whole new account and navigating how the fediverse system works for a maybe better version of what they’re already getting.

Reddit’s overall quality would have to drop into the damned abyss to cause enough of a mass exodus for a competitor to take it out for good.

Day doesn’t start at 12, it ends at 11:59 before turning back over to 00:00

Personally I’d argue for base 36 time!

36 hours, each consisting of 36 minutes, each consisting of 36 seconds.

Lets you treat time as a 0-Z number with two decimal points, the day ends at Z.ZZ at night, plus base 36 is SUPER conveniently divisible, which jives really well with how most folks actually consider how much time they need to do whatever or what time it is.

A Parisian expert in French literature failed Quebec’s “French Proficiency Exam”, not to mention how other languages don’t get anything close to the pedestal treatment English and French get under Canada’s official bilingualism. One of Trudeau’s cabinet was subjected to quebecoise nationalist mistreatment because she spoke an indigenous language instead of French.

And BTW, I’m saying that as someone of Quebecoise descent, likely pure laine as recently as my grandmother.
