Power accumulation in families would be through the roof. I get that it feels crude when you can’t pass on all your wealth to your children, but it would widen the wealth gap so so much in just a couple generations. Is there another reason you think it should be untaxable?

How about no financial products, period. No loans, no mortgage, only rent-to-own or rent. Obfuscating financial products into more complex combined financial products is half of the economy crashes. Obfuscate the numbers, steal, grab, pillage while no one can understand what the frickel you are doing and BAM: profit on the backs of normies who are tOo dumb to understand what a margin call is or why CDO’s are here to violate you. All financial products are a scam waiting in ambush, waiting for another bank-bro to think of a way they can leach from society without giving anything back.

Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•What one town learned by charging residents for every bag of trash261·16 days agoThey do this since one year locally and it really feels like your municipality hates you. And I hate it too. Sometimes the garbage can is not opening, but it has already scanned your waste-card. That’s a very expensive empty can. You think I want to call to dispute the charges on my goshdarn garbage bag? Also, The price per bag is NOT mentioned on the can, only that it will cost ya money.
This system makes it so throwing your garbage from the window is the cheapest option. Which is what folks are doing now. If you make it hard or expensive to do it the right way, folks will do it the wrong way. (2,39 euro per 60L bag of garbage. If you only throw away 13 bags a year, you break even with last year’s cost.)

Well, cool, thanks! I just love it when corporations choose to destroy value from my devices years after purchase without my consent.
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Google Pixel@lemdro.id•Google will reduce Pixel 6A battery capacity due to overheating issuesEnglish1·27 days agoWhen the fuck will it end? This is getting stupid. I was using my 4a as an MP3 player after i upgraded to the 6a, but it closes the player within 10 minutes EVERY TIME now, because that battery update basically chopped of 7 of the 8 limbs that thing had. I guess that’s e-waste now. Oh wait, i can switch over to my main device, that will for sure work as an MP3 player, because i payed 400 euro bucks for it.
#NOPE.
I guess being an MP3 player is only accessible for 25 euro devices that are not connected to the google borg collective. Stop fucking killing my phones you dickweeds, what the actual fuck.
Hahaha, damn. I think I’d raise my eyebrows too if I saw you typing on that in the train. But hey, if it works, it works!
I like typing on my Surface Pro 7 on the go, how can a flabby shallow keyboard like that even be comfortable? I don’t know, but it is. I have a ducky one 3 keyboard with blue switches at home to compare with. I like typing on both of them :-)
Why yes it is! Aaaaah, the blessings of an IT dad :-) And if you’re gonna play Hocus Pocus, or Whacky Racing… might as well do it in style! The power button was a real chonker as well,
a bit like this one, except with more soul leeching beiges and browns. I remember I thought the CD caddy was already pretty dumb back then but hey, if that makes the twilight discs work, I’ll take it.
Might be the most attitude he ever had
And I don’t even remember it being bad, lol. There’s cushions on the bed, right next to me! WHY DONT YOU GRAB THEM PAST ME?
No worries, I knew what I shared :). Thanks! I had a lot of fun there.
Hahaha, don’t dox me (as an 8 year old) bro!
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?231·1 month agoMy dad tried this same trick and wanted to influence my relationship with my mom (who had an affair). I told him I understand his feelings but that he could never talk that way to me again or I would cut him out of my life immediately. This is my mom you’re talking about.
I can’t have other folks then myself decide who I interact with. It’s not like I’m taking sides or feel great about her actions, but I wasn’t gonna stop seeing her because it hurts someone else.
I never was that direct with my parents before, but it felt like if that line would be crossed it would all come crumbling down.
man… vibes :) made me think of mine from the late 90’s!
