Someone crazy person just proposed an 8,5% wealth tax to replace income tax. And then says: > Young people with high incomes now often spend on luxury, because saving for a house seems unfeasible. "If they can build wealth faster, they will postpone that expensive journey for a while," says Kooiman. How do you build wealth if it's taxed at 8.5% per year? Sounds to me like this forces everyone (even more) to get a mortgage, because a home is taxed less than every other asset and won't pay net worth tax until you've repaid the house.

Everyone should decide their own emotional state, but if you're organizing a conference and have foreigners attend, you should probably pay attention to border policy. There've always been scary incidents occasionally, but the frequency has increased and the government is actively fear mongering. My former university of Utrecht is now giving staff burner laptops for conference travel. That's the kind of stuff one normally does for China. View quoted note →

> Het OM had dit stilzetten van de overmatige bankmonitoring natuurlijk ook zelf kunnen doen. Als bewaker van het strafrecht had het artikel 138c kunnen toepassen op deze massale privacyschending. Maar in plaats daarvan richtte het zich op het verder opjagen en onder druk zetten van banken vanwege hun antiwitwasbeleid. Dát is waar het misgaat in Nederland.

Hashed out the approach between the President and Treasury on how to ban 64 byte transactions. It's a three stage process: 1. Executive Order to explain to the public how these things are only used by bad hombres 2. OFAC will add them to their list. Clearly anyonecanspend is Communist property - but Supreme Court might bikeshed the SegWit issue 3. A soft fork, but we can't wait for Bitcoin Core, they're too fucking slow #GreatConsensusCleanup Also I couldn't find the CIA headquarters.

Thankfully since Brexit the UK can have its own Bitcoin friendly policy! In any case, this comes from the #FATF and they're pushing that stuff globally. The EU does it slightly different from the UK, but most of the variation is in how companies enforce it. It sounds like Revolut picked the most shitty way. It often boils down to cost: if forcing users to send coins back is cheaper than filling out some compliance paperwork, then that's what some companies will do. Especially the kind that doesn't give a fuck about its customers. Just keep in mind that isn't "just the law". View quoted note →

So do the EU revenge-tariffs mean we get lower income taxes? Or does that economic theory on work in the USA?
