I think it would be complicated.
The demand for GPs and family doctors would increase.
The demand for hospital beds would decrease.

In the long term, things would stabilize into a new ratio of services.

BY YOU!

Maybe fewer people faced higher rents since more bought instead. But that would depend on the details of a specific market.

As I said the tax itself won’t fix everything. If rents get too high you need to adapt zoning to encourage more duplex and multifamily homes.

Not necessity. Since housing will be cheaper to buy, some will do that instead of rent. So the market of renters will be smaller, keeping rental prices in check.

Maybe. Mostly it’ll drive down the rent, since the homes are worth less.

The idea is to make the wealthy sell some of their assets. Thus driving the price of those assets down. If people horde fewer houses, the market of buyers shrinks and prices fall.

Now a 2% tax on certain assets won’t solve everything. But its a good start. There will need to be a number of loopholes closed and other taxes targeting the super wealthy, in order to make a real difference.

You have a checkbook‽

I’m compelled to point out, all names are just made up.

Colossus: Four or five moments - that’s all it takes to become a hero. Everyone thinks it’s a full-time job. Wake up a hero. Brush your teeth a hero. Go to work a hero. Not true. Over a lifetime there are only four or five moments that really matter. Moments when you’re offered a choice to make a sacrifice, conquer a flaw, save a friend - spare an enemy. In these moments everything else falls away…

Volume and Dynamic Range are different things. One doesn’t effect the other.

Stable Volume just uses a form of ReplayGain to adjust volume for each track so they don’t swing so much.

It’s not doing any dynamic range compression, like some Nighttime Listening mode.

I don’t block what I don’t like.
I subscribe to what I do like.

Ambulances are for people, not cars. So yes, ambulances just leave the cars there.

Tow trucks on the other hand, are like ambulances for cars. So they take the cars, to a car hospital or morgue.

Increased tariffs, aren’t going to compensate for the loss of the other taxes they cut. On balance it’s still lower taxes, just not for the poor.

Pedophilia and corruption are unrelated to family values. I never mentioned them. Not sure what your getting at with that.

They have nothing in common with the traditional platform of the Republican Party - smaller government, lower taxes, economic/fiscal responsibility, family values, religious values, etc.

Well they are still all in on lower taxes, and traditional religious family values.

I find it strange that anyone can look at the current US government and think it’s “Conservative”. The Republican Party has clearly become a radical, right wing, extremist, authoritarian, revolutionary sort of ideology. It’s obvious they want to completely remake the government and all of society. They’re not looking to conserve anything anymore.

Why do we advocate for, and pour hours of development into, ActivityPub rather than building clients which add a social layer to existing content distribution and communication protocols?

If clients built their own social layer, those would be limited to users of that client. If they opened up the social layer with an interoperable protocol, now you just made ActivityPub again.

“My favorite book said so”, isn’t an argument. It’s a delusion.

No. He operates as an Evangelical Apologist does. He makes disingenuous arguments that sound logical and convincing enough, as long as you don’t think about or look into them that much.

I think at Stamford Cambridge recently his whole argument against gay marriage was completely torn down, and he finally just said, he simply didn’t like it. I’ll look for the video.

Edit: Found it. His own channel has a video of the Cambridge debate. Odly, that student was edited out. But Cambridge has the full event. Including the one omitted
