  • DO IT!

    Seize The Fed and abolish all Federal taxes!

    The Federal Government does not need tax revenue to provide services. Federal taxes just delete money in a targeted way. When the Federal Government wants to buy something, it creates the currency it spends. The balance of interest rates and Federal taxes determines the speed at which the overall supply of currency grows - either lever can be pulled to moderate inflation. Taxes make people poorer, reducing demand. High interest rates slow the growth of businesses that need to take out loans from a bank. With lower Federal taxes putting more money in people’s pockets, successful businesses will be less dependent on bank loans: win-win.

    Although, the clowns of the Republican circus would probably pull the wrong lever, reducing interest rates, which would necessitate increasing either taxes or inflation, leading to stagflation and recession.



  • As you’re out hiking with your cat, a lettuce, and a vacuum cleaner, you come upon a river blocking the path. On the side of the river, there’s a boat that’s just big enough for you and one other passenger.

    The cat can’t be left alone with the lettuce.
    The vacuum can’t be left alone with the cat.

    How do you get everyone across?

    I think this take is mid.

    A doctor pulling in $400k a year is still working class. Even if they somehow managed to save 100% of their income, and invest it all in a portfolio that consistently grows 10% each year, and do so from age 18 to 65, then when they retire at 65 they would still not have even half of 1 billion dollars.

    The truly rich, the billionaires, can “make” that much in a few days, without having to work for it.

    I would prefer to tax the 1% until they’re working class again before we talk about taxing the top earning people who actually work for it.



  • While blowing, some of the fan’s energy is spent on increasing the pressure inside your dishwasher, which increases the density of the air the fan blades move through, increasing drag on the fan blades causing them to move slower and create less airflow.

    While blowing, you’re also pushing moist air to the back of the dishwasher, and after that air reaches 100% relative humidity, it can’t hold any more water and will not help dry your plates. Some of it will eventually escape around the sides, but some of the airflow your fan creates just circulates humid air around the inside of the dishwasher.

    Turning your fan around solved both problems. It increased the volume of air flow, and decreased the relative humidity of the air flow.
