Define "total privacy". Please, really, do so. I think once you know what you're talking about, the answer will be clear enough.
Another way of looking at things is to ask what threats you are worried about, and focus on stopping those. That will give you clarity, which right now you're lacking.
Much of the time, patriotism leads to nationalism, and therefore xenophobia and racism. How could it not? If you think your country is great, you need to find ways to justify that beloef, and when facts don't get the job done, the next steps are lying and stereotyping.
More than one person can be at fault, my friend. Don't lie about your product and expect no consequences.
If Tesla promises and doesn't deliver, they pay. That's the price of doing business when lives are on the line.
Don't you already do that? It's common sense.
The other point is that I think this article made a shitty economic argument. If rich people are staying because they're making money, and if you stop them from making money then they'll leave, what's actually happening is that they are stealing our money while they're here. It's not like that money magically showed up, right? It came from somewhere, it came from someone, right? In reality, they're getting a ton of benefits from the taxpayers. So if the claim is that the economy will suffer when they depart, that's an interesting question, and it really depends on the details.
I think you're ignoring the Congress index fund people. They've proven quite clearly that members of Congress are beating other national index funds on a regular basis. Is that because Congress is smarter? More informed? I'm going with the latter, not the former.
It sounds like you want to try to reduce other types of corruption. Great, let's do that too. But this is an obvious starting point especially when you see the president throwing up terrorists just so his buddies can time the market.
Clearly Nancy doesn't believe in a word that she's saying. It doesn't take decades to figure out that you're getting rich because you have insider knowledge. Which means she knows there's no chance the legislation would pass, and she's just grandstanding, and hey that's better than nothing, so we can give her a golf clap.
All he needs is the Supreme Court to agree. My guess is that they won't, but they are out of their fucking minds, so we really have no idea, it's a giant coin flip. The majority of those judges are horribly corrupt and basically terrible human beings, but if they destroy the country badly enough, they know it will come back to burn them. The question is how much risk they're willing to take.
We can bet on a lot, but when you're betting on human lives, you might get hit with a massive lawsuit, right? Try to bet less.
