Sure, but that’s not what’s going to happen as a side effect of taxing unrealized gains, like what was discussed in this thread until now. A gradual transfer of ownership to the workers would have to be nudged in some other way.
In competitive industries (read: tech) this does happen to some extent in the form of stock being part of the compensation, but that’s not going to happen organically for every employment situation.
Give up control to whom? Some megacorp with infinite money would just buy a majority stake (often referred to as a hostile takeover) and wind up owning everything to an even larger extent than today.
The issue with realizing the gains is that you have to relinquish control of your company bit by bit. However, you could have the company (which you likely control) give out dividends, or you could use the stock as collateral for a loan. Or just pay yourself a bigger salary.
The state is a pretty big employer, so that portion might be held back for a while. That would still have to be paid by the end of the year, though.
Somehow property taxes are okay, though, even though we haven’t realized the gains!
I’m guessing those pretty beefy joists are cantilevered, and the 2x2s are unnecessary. They were likely added for the joke.
From https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/24/mayoral-election-first-round-results-cuomo-mamdani/:
In this ranked-choice primary election, Lander cross-endorsed Mamdani as his number-two pick, meaning that many voters who selected Lander are likely to send additional votes to Mamdani in the final tally.
So I’m guessing Cuomo didn’t think round two was going to do him any favors.
Not the most famous by any means, but about 30 years ago I saw an episode of Cheers where Frasier Crane’s ex-wife was trying to win him back, and she supplies her phone number through a singing doll. The doll repeated the number so many times that I still remember it: 555-6792.
The first was probably Duke Nukem 3D, released January 29th, 1996:

If you consider their hacky approach to 3D cheating (they didn’t support one part of a level to be above another, and implemented looking up/down by just distorting the image, so all corners were too pointy), then you’d have to wait a few months for Quake.
The first actually 3D first person game was Quake, released June 22nd, 1996, and it let you swim:
It looks like you’re relying on media automounting to access the drive, but this is happening too late for Docker.
I would suggest creating the empty folder and explicitly adding the mount to /etc/fstab instead. This should mount early enough, and even if it doesn’t it needs an empty folder for the mount point anyway.
Edit: Make sure you reference the partition by UUID, because the device name of USB devices sometimes change after a reboot.
They probably figured hurting her or locking her up would be too bad PR. Which is ironic, considering they’re okay with committing genocide.
Exactly. Looks a lot like they found the gun near the scene of the crime, and then planted it in his backpack. That makes a lot more sense than him hauling it and an incriminating manifesto with him for several days. If he wanted to do the manifesto thing he’d have left it at the scene of the crime. None of that evidence makes sense.
The court is also going to need to decide if the cops planted the evidence he conveniently carried with him several days later.
I’m a straight white dude who goes to work to do work, not to find someone to party with. The common ground is having the same job.
My current team has the following composition:
We all get along just fine. Sometimes I learn something new about a different culture or lifestyle.
Not all aspects of diversity are equally important. I’ve been in teams before where everyone else was Argentinian. I’ve had teams where everyone else was Indian. I’ve had teams where we were all straight white dudes. They were all fine.
The most important part of diversity for me is a nice spread in experience level, which usually means a spread in age. I like training people who are more junior than me, but I also like someone more senior to learn from. Having someone more senior than me also prevents me from gliding into a role where I only train people or review their work, which I’m not personally interested in.
There are more things you could ask about even if the job description is good, though.
As a software engineer I like to ask questions about the team dynamic. I’m not interested in working with a bunch of bros, so having some diversity in the team is good.
This response is also too vague. You need to at the very least ask what kind of position OP is interviewing for.
Dude, most other countries, bar the dictatorships, have more changes happening than the US. Most other countries don’t have two-party systems with filibusters, debt ceilings disconnected from the budget, and whatever else.
Any country implementing parliamentarism, especially those not implementing first past the post, will have a lot less stalemates, because there are multiple other parties to make horse trades with. Do you have experience with any other country’s system of governance?
You can say what an increase in funding is meant to finance without earmarking the funds. Other countries do that just fine. In this example, you’d run on lowering property taxes, because campaign on the tax you’re increasing is never a good plan.
I get that there’ll always be some taxes collected at different levels, like some federal, some state level and some municipal, and that does to some extent direct how the funds can be used, but earmarking the funds beyond that just adds complexity and fucks up budgeting. It’s how you end up with stuff like every other thing on the budget borrowing from social security.
The real thing hindering these kinds of reform is that American politics are inherently resistant to change. With a two-party system in near equilibrium there will rarely be any opportunity to change big things, and in practice most big changes in the US happen at the judicial branch as a result. For example, WA doesn’t have income tax due to the WA supreme court declaring it unconstitutional, and changing the constitution is nearly impossible to get the votes for in the current political climate.
Why? Knowing that my property taxes pay for one set of things and my income tax pays for something else does nothing for me. In the end, all that really matters is how much my net pay is, and whether the government is spending its income reasonably.
In the school example, my area also pools it, I believe statewide. The schools also receive federal money from my income tax. I don’t care, as long as the schools have the funding they need. Which they don’t.
I don’t get to choose what kind of taxes I pay or what they go to (except that dollar to the presidential campaign fund), so how do I really benefit from knowing which goes where? Just pool it all and make a budget! It’s like Americans are addicted to overcomplicating things.
Lone Wolf type attacks do have a much lower chance of being discovered, but that doesn’t change that just running at a group of armed agents is dumb. Planting a bomb or sniping them at a distance seems like something with a higher chance of success. Or even a suicide vest, since surviving certainly wasn’t a goal for the guy.
