Nice to have you over here. May i ask what sort of job are you looking for?

Man that's some fucking weasel wording. Will be seen as flying in the face of international law? That would be because it blatantly does.

Look at mr. billionaire over here able to afford eggs

Yes, all quick google two of my normal human hands

Privatizing it in the first place is the work of people who are corrupt as hell, inhumanly evil, dumb as rocks, or, most likely, all of the above.

In this case corrupt and evil. Thatcher had tried it twice before and had to back down because it was (and still is) an incredibly unpopular policy that was at risk of losing them the 1987 election. Immediately after the election they privatized the lot before anyone could complain.

Isn't owning ideas the whole point of IP laws?

Landserf would be a more accurate term.

a lot of the pretty CNN idiots are Trump protagonists

Sure, but for Trump it's important not just to have sycophants but to not have any dissent.

unless someone went to the trouble of making a font that looks exactly like AI generated text.

Can I just say that's a hilariously evil idea to fuck with people and if I knew more about font formats I'd be tempted to give it a go.

Technically never got arrested for it though did he?

OK. What exactly did you want us to do with your warning? It's not like we got a vote...

Of the wealth this hypothetical tax would apply to. If you want to criticize the original premise you're replying to the wrong person.

Because, as I said, if they instead tax 98% of their wealth then all the billionaires will move there and they'll get 98% of a lot more while everyone else gets 99% of nothing. Until a country works out they could get 97% of all that wealth to themselves and so on and so forth until you get down to the sort of tax levels we actually see. It's just basic game theory in the end.

They're not going to go to Haiti though, they're going to go to Monaco or Switzerland or Ireland or The Netherlands. That's my point, for this to work all of the "developed" nations need to agree despite having a massive financial incentive not to.

I mean, the issue is getting all nations to agree to that and making any agreement binding because otherwise the nation that decides to tax them at 98% gets all of the tax revenue...
