Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you agree with this view: Why do you think societies should allow billionaires to exist? How does that benefit the common good?
1·24 days agoAt “Billionaire” (or even hundreds of millions of dollars) levels of wealth the government should implement a different tax scale based on net worth. Simpler and harder to manipulate. An annual minimum tax bill of 1% of your net worth that cannot be reduced, offset, deferred or otherwise mitigated per billion annually to do buisness in the country, per country.
Just stop them rorting loopholes. I think people would probably hate billionaires a whole lot less if they just paid a FAIR amount of tax.
Edit: actually the math works pretty much all the way down. Everyone should have a minimum income tax bill every year of 1% of their net worth with the only exemption being your primary residence.
All fast food is delicious when cooked with the fresh ingredients and exactly to the standards that they spent many thousands of dollars perfecting in their corporate test kitchens
The problem is that the overcooked patties and the stale buns with too much ketchup and the wilted ass lettuce used by your local franchise and assembled by a 15yo who couldnt give less of a fuck ruin the experience. Thats also assuming you eat it fresh in the “restaurant” not after a 10 minute drive home at which point its fully congealed and the chips are soggy.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some actors that can only play themselves?
3·1 month agoI have a love hate relationship with that movie for an interesting reason (IMO). There is not a sympathetic or likeable character in the whole thing.
The only person who isnt actively dislikeable is Ed Harris and he barely qualifies as a character.

3·1 month agoHe did a weird indie film called “The Nines” he can turn the chops on when he wants to. I find it hard to criticise those people because “Hey, want to earn millions of dollars doing this the easy way? Or you can go do some passion projects to prove a point and make less.” Is a damn awkward spot to be in.
Im sure we all like to think we would take the route of Sandler doing Uncut Gems, I love to think that was him just telling his haters to go fuck themselves. “Just because I dont, doesnt mean I cant”

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling products of all time. It cost nearly $1,000 per pill, even though that same pill cost just 25 cents to makeEnglish
53·1 month agoYou also arent funding the development of the drug that worked, but also the dozen that didnt.
Not saying they arent predatory, just that the math of “The pill only costs $0.25” is a massive oversimplification.

Theres a hillclimb circuit near me and I’ve contemplated buying a cheap hatchback just to have something to take out, abuse and upgrade as I can.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•WHY the only men who approach me with amorous intentions are unhealthy, cigarette, alcohol, junk food men??
12·2 months agoIn my experience most guys who work out, eat clean and get lots of exercise are super conscious of not being “That guy” at their gym, running spots or wherever they go to get their workout on. They also dont tend to have to do a lot of work to meet women outside of that environment. If a guy is handsome, employed and is generally polite and friendly available women will make the advance because as you have found, theres a lot of (even if they are very nice people) guys that well… arent.
