  • Income tax is not really what’s relevant to the rich. It’s pretty easy for them to basically have no taxable income at all. (E.g. that thing Musk did some years ago where he polled Twitter on if he should sell some stock to actually have to pay taxes for once.)

    Also, as far as I know, the USA tax your worldwide income even if you live abroad, and there’s an exit tax on your net worth if you renounce citizenship. This is the reason most US billionaires don’t live in e.g. Switzerland.






  • My mother once threatened to evict me (was still living with them) because I asked her to back up her important files for me to carry them over to the new office computer I had set up for her.

    She flat out refused to even attempt it or answer any of my investigative questions. This woman had been using windows computers for work for over 20 years at this point, but the thought of opening an explorer window apparently terrified her so much we got into an actual shouting match over it.
