  • Yeah I guess there would have to be some kind of bracket system like... the more people who are registered supporters of your party the higher level of campaign funding you unlock? And it starts at zero

  • That's an interesting idea. I've found personally that every time I've worked for a publically traded company I've hated it because everything is just about increasing share price no matter what. OTOH I think investment is very useful for progress though... I'm not sure how investment would work without ownership

  • You missed a very important one, fix the main reason billionaires don't pay any tax:

    Using your unrealised gains (e.g. shares) as collatoral to take out loans should be considered realising those gains and thus subject to capital gains tax

  • I dunno what you're doing wrong but I bought an apartment in Germany a couple years ago and that wasn't my experience at all. I saw plenty of nice places big enough for a family of three for 250-300k. We had a little bit more than 50k in savings and were able to buy something much bigger than we need with a large garden (we spent 440k), but could easily have gotten something big enough with 50k savings. We're in a medium/large city but just not right in the middle, more towards the outskirts. Still only 15 mins bike ride to the centre though!

  • Yep that's generally how housing prices work in Germany, since rent is heavily controlled and fixed interest rate loans are readily available, the value of a property adjusts depending on the current "cost" of a loan
