Happy Monday everybody. As I feared last week, the tiny one has started running. He’s hilarious because he keeps his arms and hands still, but now down at his sides instead of out like a zombie. So he’s basically Naruto running. Its cute. Less cute is when he does so down the driveway at full tilt as soon as he can clear the garage door. Eh. With the fourth, you just kinda say, “he’ll learn better or hopefully survive the car hitting him”.
Norway discovers that rich people can just leave. California is also discovering this.
Its kind of weird how the current era is like a 1980s comedy played for horror.

Yes, I think it does.

“In a tweet on Sunday, the Republican from Georgia said: “Last night in my DC residence, the television turned on by itself and the screen showed someone’s laptop trying to connect to the TV.”

“Donald Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner whom Greene supports, has claimed without evidence that Obama authorised spying on him when Trump won the presidency in 2016.”

We all tape the camera on our laptops for just this reason.
It would not surprise me in the least that a TV would be capable.
It’s possible somebody in the house or nearby was trying to cast to the TV, probably by accident.

“One sister, who remained anonymous, told the National Review that Langford has not made ‘any effort’ to ‘physically look like a girl’, adding: ‘He’s just calling himself a girl. All you have to do is identify as a she/her.'”

I’m not sure identifying as a chick and making some sort of effort makes all that much difference, to tell you the truth. Maybe it moves the needle from “creepy” to “crazy”.
It’s a huge difference. Which sounds like you don’t know any good efforts. It definitely moves the needle from “creepy” as feminine presentation is perceived as much less of a threat.
Oh, I know the difference. That’s what takes it away from “creepy”.
They’re still crazy, though.

Following its 2021 electoral victory, the Nordic nation’s Labor Party made good on its promise to soak the rich. Norway is one of just a handful of OECD countries that still taxes net wealth, and the Labor Party increased the country’s wealth tax to 1.1 percent despite warnings that such a move would “trigger capital flight and threaten job creation.”
Foreseeable consequences are not unintended.
Which
begsraises the question: why does the Labor Party want to drive away capital (in this case, both financial and intellectual)?I usually go with evil over stupid but in this case I really think that stupid wins out.
Hey, we’ve completely fucked up the Russia gambit, so now we’re going to double down on China.

So now the Chinese go back to not talking to our “diplomats” and maybe start selling the Russians ammo.
In terms of legitimately elected leaders, I’d guess that Biden is slightly above Xi and way under Modi and Putin.
Xi isn’t trying to destroy his own country.
Well, not intentionally. Vast damage seems to getting inflicted, though.
The interesting thing about this is all the Chinese outrage is external and non Chinese language.
They don’t like the optics internally if even mentioning that a spade is a spade.
Unlike other “face” issues you don’t see a riled public display.
Don’t want to risk repeating Xi is a dictator. Domestic audience might start agreeing with it.

“More than 30 Norwegian billionaires and multimillionaires left Norway in 2022, according to research by the newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv,” reports wealth correspondent Rupert Neate. “This was more than the total number of super-rich people who left the country during the previous 13 years, [the paper] added.”
Did you catch that? More “super rich” Norwegians left Norway in 2022 than during the previous 13 years combined. The reason wealthy Norwegians are fleeing the country is not a secret.
Following its 2021 electoral victory, the Nordic nation’s Labor Party made good on its promise to soak the rich. Norway is one of just a handful of OECD countries that still taxes net wealth, and the Labor Party increased the country’s wealth tax to 1.1 percent despite warnings that such a move would “trigger capital flight and threaten job creation.”
Capital flight is exactly what happened, and it has left the Norwegian government with less revenue.
They forgot to put
an exit taxa ransom demand in place.Once again, the only thing that matters when economics get reported is how it affects the fucking government’s cut. Hey, if businesses close, sales are lost, and people lose their jobs, who cares? They’re just tax cattle.
/pet peeve OFF
“If it’s an annual wealth tax, it’s taking a fraction of your wealth every year,” Berkeley economist Emmanuel Saez, who helped design Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax proposal, told the Post. “Almost by definition, you’re going to have less wealth after you pay the tax.”
Our best. Our brightest.
“Almost” by definition. Subtraction, how does it work?
To be fair the assumption is that the wealth generates income too and aggregate wealth would still be higher year over year.
OTH if you have capital losses and no offsetting gains with wealth tax you are basically doubly screwed.
The real evil is that it forces wealth holders to liquidate assets based on some paper valuation. The act of liquidating some percentage of that magic number devalues the remaining assets, destroying jobs and future growth.
It is fucking ignorant.
Are you suggesting the wealthy don’t have piles of Scrooge McDuck cash that play around in and they can’t just simply send a portion to the benevolent state?
A depressing number of people think that is so.

Seems super suspicious. Maybe not a good shoot, but it’s much more reasonable than the headline.
Stand Your Ground still requires a reasonable fear that one’s life is in danger, and there is no possible way that this is the case given the scenario as described.
Bradley Hocevar should be in jail right now.

““The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amount of feathers with the smallest possible amount of hissing,”
That may be the government’s objective but an enlightened government would aim for a level of taxation equaling the highest point on the Rahn Curve.
https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2010/06/29/we-all-know-government-is-too-big-but-heres-the-evidence/
The Rahn curve is for spending, the Laffer curve is for taxing. We are definitely on the wrong side of both those peaks.
The thing is that federal government revenue seems to stagnate at about 17-18% of GDP, no matter what the tax policy is. It is next to impossible to get it above that. Which is convenient, as the Rahn curve peak appears to be about that range.
Of course, both the Rahn and Laffer curve are based on total spending and total taxation, not just federal.
One of my pet peeves about the Laffer curve is that a tax gets cut and revenue OF THAT TAX drops, and someone says “see we are still on the left side of the curve”. But you have to look at total tax revenue. A cut in the Federal Income Tax, for example, could cause a small drop in Fed income tax collected AND an even larger increase in state taxes collected.
“Planned Parenthood is BANNED across Saskatchewan after supplying 9th graders with sexually explicit card game for ‘queer youths’ that teaches them about being attracted to TVs, kink and extreme pornography

ESG, a catch-all term that encompasses a range of ethically responsible business practices, from curbing carbon emissions to cracking down on discrimination in the workplace, has become politically polarizing in parts of the Western world, especially in the United States.
As any rational knowledgeable investor knows, those business practices re indisputably ethical, correct and effective. To say otherwise is sheer political fiction.

At this point, you’re a conspiracy theorist if you think your TV isn’t spying on you.

I’ll try a dummy plug, thanks.
Try this experiment. Play some music in a phone, then open the Amazon app. For me I notice an immediate difference in sound quality, because Amazon is listening to it and it is running through some kind of filter. This should get your attention. Keep all apps like that “off.” Remove them from every device except one. No facebook or anything either. It all listens even when running on a device.

I wondered about that, too. Especially if his wealth is primarily his Norwegian company. Although, not a Norwegian resident, not subject to the wealth tax.
I’m sure there are plenty of other taxes to be paid.
It makes sense to somebody over there in Norway. Or maybe he is just B.S.ing until he can change his residence and then yank all his money out. Doesn’t want to tip off the Feds.
My guess is that by being a resident of Switzerland, he’s saving himself ~$50M annually by not being subject to the wealth tax. Everything else stays the same.
Besides, it’s not like he can pick up his fishing fleet and move them to Monaco.
I do wonder though, if the Norwegian EPA is going to come after a fishing magnate for his depredations on the country’s steelhead population.
If I had to guess, the tax is on individuals residing in Norway. So his company will still pay their usual tax, his dividends will be taxed at the usual rate, but because he and his money are in a different country, he won’t be subject to the wealth tax.
The US is one of the few countries that taxes money earned outside the US.
Thanks, that makes sense.

Simplistic and not-terribly important, and we benefit from it in some ways, but computerization and the AI push is stripping hospitals of Bedside Manner, in a non-casting couch, sliding next to Jessica Alba in Sin City sort of way.

They were in the open, visible to other bystanders. The scan was sent off through however many avenues to whomever.

“ But a French TV anchor wasn’t having it, and confronted Kerry over US hypocrisy, given Washington has mounted multiple invasions of sovereign countries in recent decades, especially since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Well-known French journalist Darius Rochebin during the Sunday night interview on news channel LCI posed the following: “We have to judge Putin for crimes of aggression, of course. But you, the Americans, you committed the crime of aggression in Iraq.” Rochebin then asked Kerry: “These countries of the Global South say, should we judge George Bush? Why isn’t Bush judged in the same way?””
You’ll also note that the other central banks have stopped protecting the Bank of England’s yield curves. The financial situation there is unraveling very quickly.

Precisely. Virtue must be signaled.
If you look at current environmentalism like a religion it makes sense of many of its tenants.

Thanks. I’m going with the damn iPad on that one.
Not my first choice of name to use as a seller of crap remanufactured automotive parts.

Similar to Toyota’s TRD.
Good luck with that.

I find it more interesting that Gutfeld is moving to 10pm.
All rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. The US Government owns Fox now. They cover the margins. Gutfeld is all they have left.
Kinda surprised they gave it to Watters instead of Ingraham. She’s probably brushing up her résumé tonight.
whaddup doh’
I trust you’re out pillaging San Francisco.
Still in the Bay area? If so, taking your antibiotics as a precaution?
Im on the NW side, safely away from San Fran. Across the San Pedro Bay (I think it is).
I imagine this is what it looks like as the denizens of the Bay Area fight over Tres.

NH Journal, GOP Establishment news outlet, covers RFK, Jr. at PorcFest
It was a hot Thursday morning and the air in the PorcFest Pavilion in Lancaster and, as hundreds waited in the sun to see Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the air was thick with excitement.
And pot. And the scents that come with the presence of a large number of dogs.
It also didn’t help that the central bathroom with showers, located near the Norse pagan spiritual village, was out of order. The adjacent port-a-potties were also shut. It was hoped that would all be fixed before Thursday night’s scheduled free couples shower event.
“ located near the Norse pagan spiritual village…”
Da fuck?
Oh! You need bathrooms. Turn left at the Norse pagan spiritual village, head all the way down until you see a drunken Sterno bum. Turn right, and the bathrooms are under the altar to Beelzebub and the entrance to the arcade.
It’s PorcFest.
That’s still hilarious.
More on former state rep arrested for kiddie porn
Last June, New Hampshire Democratic Party chair Ray Buckley gave a shoutout to state Rep. Stacie-Marie Laughton as one of the “LGBTQIA+ Democrats who are the backbone of the Granite State.”
Today, former Rep. Laughton is under arrest on charges of trafficking child sex abuse images taken by a former lover at a Massachusetts daycare.
When Buckley gave his endorsement last year, Laughton had already been in and out of jail on multiple charges, including credit card fraud and calling in a false bomb threat. But the shocking new charges — Laughton’s partner allegedly took photos of young children at Creative Minds daycare in Tyngsboro — are more serious than the crime of stalking for which Laughton was most recently jailed.
