I agree this is a significant factor. I saw some documentaries talking about the decisions we made with the power grid pros/cons wise when you consider ac/dc. No the band 😋
We use so much technology that requires direct current that we have at spend a bunch of resources converting it back from ac. The whole efficiency of transportation from large central generation vs smaller local less efficient stations.
The documentary said some industrial areas in Germany? were considering providing local grid based direct current.
I'm curious what the cost benefit analysis says about going back to local DC and not needing so many transformers.
There's also upcoming solid state batteries, and maybe flow batteries if they can get the electrolyte mixture efficient.
I am very intrigued by flow batteries. It basically behaves like a gas fuel concept. Pump some out, pump some in, charge it slowly somewhere else,. hopefully from solar and wind, or fusion haha
I appreciate the fact that both of you didn't just say all rich people are ___ and acknowledged they're still people. I have actually met some really nice rich people, but not fortune 500 rich, just well off.
I very much agree with the better circumstances comment. I know some people who definitely didn't have any obstacles in their upbringing, but they weren't bad people.
I also believe they have a hard time empathizing or even understanding less fortunate people because they don't know any or didn't have the experience. I'm sure they make decisions based on this life experience.
I've also met some loaded super garbage people too. The kind of people who treat everyone like the help. Lots of them at sporting events oddly?
Everyone has well covered my frustration with both the tax ideas here and some miscarriage justice, so I have this question:
Question:
What countries do you think are really good examples of what right looks like for taxation?
Any countries that rise above the rest for proper proportion of personal tax, corporate tax, etc?
Why: The older I get, the more I feel like Americans are tought that capitalism good, else bad; rich are the reason the rest of us have it as good as we do, and we should thank them for it.
I'd like to compare to other countries, that's why I'm curious,.just trying to Google is a broad starting place.
There are also equity based life insurance policies I think you can do similar things. My guy explained it to me as the justification for the policy and of course because I'm a stupid simpleton, I've never looked at actually trying to do something with it.
This seems like a very academic and thought intensive process. That's not a criticism.
I'll have to fight my natural instincts of finding the easy button on this one.
Thanks
