  • This definitely won’t be popular, hope you stick with me to the end, but real estate is collateral that holds its value quite well most of the time, and is insured by the homeowner.

    Stocks don’t have that. Companies with large valuations can liquidate overnight.

    Does that mean it’s all a bad idea? No, but it just is different than the frame provided. They are different assets.

    Taxing rich people in new ways can be a good thing. Taxing unrealized gains gets complicated, but can be done. But also comparing it to property tax is problematic for a lot of reasons. There are much better arguments, so I think we should stick with those. This one has too many easy attack angles with valid points, even if the main point of “rich people get out of taxes more than normies” is completely true.



  • I feel in the minority on this. It felt like watching someone else play a video game as a plot.

    The ideas were OK, but the slapstick seemed crazy childish to me. I just did not get into it at any point.

    Like I didn’t think it was just ok, I was pretty actively turned away by it.

    Could be just not in my style, but it was the first time I’ve watched something and completely misunderstood the hype. I can listen to music or watch movies & tv shows and not be that into it but understand it. Succession was that way. Wasn’t for me, but could see the appeal.

    Hundreds of Beavers was just awful for me personally.
