Also require greater transparency around money movement and proper auditing. Governments need to spend more on auditing.

Trickle down is complete BS and the many ways to avoid wealth taxes are part of the problem with them. You need to properly tax income and capital gains and close as many of the loopholes around each as possible. Then add a proper estate tax as well to reduce inter generational wealth

Of the counter-productive effects? I have a bunch of shares in a private company that I was given for good performance and retention. At the latest share price from the latest funding round they’re worth more than enough to put me in the 0.5%. However, they’re not liquid - I can’t sell them unless the company floats or is bought. Under a simple wealth tax I’d have to pay many thousands of pounds of tax on them every year despite them having no realisable value. Just because something is an asset with a nominal value doesn’t mean it’s liquid or generating income. Obviously when (if) I sell the shares I’ll pay capital gains, or if they generate a dividend, income tax.

Wealth taxes are rarely efficient and create all sorts of weird and counter productive effects. Better to properly tax income and capital gains.

I’ve had the same experience - make sure they don’t get hot (or are rated for it)

Agreed- the series is massively overrated

Because it’s reassigning someone’s gender - e.g. making a female body look more like a man’s. We don’t have the technology to change someone’s biological sex, but we can help them by giving them a body that more closely resembles their gender identity.

Turned out to live within walking distance - it’s funny how these things work out

What she was doing there she just won’t say…

I met my wife on Craigslist nearly 20 years ago 😁

Completely agree!

Right click Onedrive Icon, settings, sync and backup, Manage Backup, turn off what ever you don't want backed up. At that point all your desktop / document content will disappear (looks like Microsoft linked the normal and Onedrive folders, which is a useful trick occasionally) so move everything out of Onedrive back into your normal folders

It is shit but it’s easy to turn off.

It’s not difficult to turn off.

He was presumably in charge of the moon orbits?

There is some truth to that Superfest - of course they tried to sell it to the wrong people

It doesn’t.

It’s a beautifully paced cartoon, shame to loose the other two panels

The best way is to return said crap, get a refund, and then publicly complain about. That’s the main feedback loop. If the owners won’t do that then they don’t deserve a lot of sympathy.
