I agree with you about that it should only punish those that directly benefit.

The thing is that the wealth that you inherent doesn’t have to come from victimizing others. I live in NL, we had a lot of slavery and the VOC became very rich ofof it. But most Dutch people aren’t decended from anybody who profitted from the slavery that happend. At the same time a lot of these massive companies from back in the day had a lot of funds go to the government or indirectly to the public in some other way. If the money can be traced back to slavery or whatever victimizing then yes tax it a lot (without the descendants getting into actual financial trouble because of it)

I agree btw, the angelo-saxton way of thinking is why they got to wealthy over the back of others. That’s part of the reason the climate for workers is better in western Europe (NL, DE, DK, etc)

Ps. I always wonder what actually happend with the VOC money since if you calculate the value of the money to todays value it would have been one of the biggest companies in the world (top 3 or something). Like we are rich, but not THAT rich.

Ow right, I forgot the US is a corrupt nation and allows bullshit like this.

Then again, it is most likely his personal holding/company which has the loans and stock and he has 100% of the shares in that company which will go bankrupt if his loans ever default(? I think that;s the right word?).

Why would he be in debt though, the depreciation of the goodwill will not cause him to be millions in debt, just that the company would sell for less. There isn’t a lot of ground to sue Elon sadly, you can sue Tesla for things like this though and there are probably some other things you can sue either Musk or Tesla, but even if you sue Tesla in the ground Musk wouldn’t go into debt from it. Most likely case is that his assets are in a holding company anyway.

The US is a corrupt country and a lot of people are defending it or otherwise funding the corruption. Like why can’t we see the annual reports of the companies these billionairs own?

Pretty sure there are more sides, but the system doesn’t allow it.

Also people can’t choose their ancestor’s, so why would they need to be punished? Taxation of the transfer of funds is not an issue in my book, but don’t blame somebody cause 5 generations before them or whatever, the ancestor was a dictator.

Depends on the context and your gender

You thinking that are just two type of voters is disgusting, blame the system that allows for just two parties not the people.

No I agree, hopefully we can all agree that the MMDDYYYY is the worst date format

it’s crazy to me that for all the ai “advances” in the past few years nobody has thought to improve subtitling.

That’s what OP say, I just responded with the reason why that wasn’t being done. Aka money

HA! if you even get to be 74!

But in some jobs the year is more important (bookkeeping/accounting) and doing YYYY-MM-DD automatically sorts your dates

I rather have somebody write their invoices at DD-MM-YYYY cause there is a bigger chance it will most likely not be an invoice from a North American company which notriously cannot make proper invoices and most software that actually scans and processes invoices is based on the European standaard DD-MM-YYYY or on ISO8601.

ISO8601 is YYYY-MM-DD nothing to do with weeks and isn;t the only difference of RFC3339 that you can use a space instead of a T in between the date and time? Also RFC3339 is only an internet standard while ISO is a generally international standard?

Actually YYYY-MM-DD is better since it can be used basically everywhere and with / it can’t be used in filenames

Or just use ISO8601 whi uses hh:mm:ss and well it is an ISO standard, but at least DD:MM:YYYY makes more sense than what Americans are doing.

Also 4th of july …

iso8601 aka 2025-06-12

Where do you think money for development of new shit comes from? From places where money is made, like TV, movies etc. YouTube doesn’t really make more money because the ads are there.

And Twitter hahaha I can only laugh at that

The game is alright, just go to the trans person and go and see the burning JK rowling picture

No, but on the fields where there is money to be made for subtitles, like movies and tv shows.

Probably because a lot of countries either dub the content or it is already in their native laguage. You generally see a lot of subtitles on OpenSubtitles of countries like The Netherlands where that doesn’t happen

Probably more, some that are mentally challenged awknowledge Trump is terrible, they are just mentally challenged in a nother way.
