“We tax earned income too much and unearned income too little.” 👏.
As ever, endless nonsense spoken about this. Your money has not already been taxed. Inheritance tax isn’t a tax on your wealth. It’s a tax on the windfall of the person receiving it, which they have not earned. We tax earned income too much and unearned income too little.

“Sometimes, it’s the boring things in life that can bring the most satisfaction. Fresh bedsheets. Opening a newly delivered parcel. Colour-coded spreadsheets. Arsenal signing Christian Nørgaard? Maybe that’s another one to add to the list.” 👌.
@Arsenal It’s not glamorous. Nor is it flashy. But sometimes it’s the quiet signings that make the most sense:

yep 🤙 .culture is what you cultivate, not a virtue signalling poster.
Most startups treat culture like a slogan. I learned the hard way:.Culture = who you hire, fire, and promote. So I built a system to tie culture directly to feedback. Here’s how it works →

government goals: boost defense spending + boost economic growth. measuring 1 as % of 2 is daft. good growth makes defence look like it’s shrinking even when it’s growing. use better metrics 📈.

hard to come up with any other credible explanation other than tinkering by people that don’t really know what they’re doing 🤔.
Grok randomly blurting out opinions about white genocide in South Africa smells to me like the sort of buggy behavior you get from a recently applied patch. I sure hope it isn't. It would be really bad if widely used AIs got editorialized on the fly by those who controlled them.
