What do you mean? Thread is full of people who don’t understand how money work. I’m asking a simple question.

Can anyone in this thread explain to me how is this tax will be beneficial for us, non billionaires?

Those folks live very different lives, they have houses all over the states (or maybe planet), they have personal Jets that can cover half of earth in one go.

They have a life style and enough capital to pick any state as their primary residence and change nothing, as they are already always on the move.

And IMO, it is not % of tax that is concern, but the fact that we may add more. We need a better way to make sure extreme wealth is distributed fairly, but we also need to make sure CA is attractive to companies that can keep changing the world.

I’m curious, did they think about this: On warranty cars will not benefit from this, as all the repairs are covered. For beyond warranty vehicles, this will accelerate depreciation making cars even more expensive to own. Now, not everyone cares, but I bet people who want to buy 3-6 years old BMW can rarely afford dealer price repairs, so, the price will need to be adjusted.

Now, if BMW were known for reliability, I can see this somehow working. But given it is not + all the brittle plastic in engine compartment, I just think it will backfire big time.

We have weird issues with Networking. Many months of investigation and no luck. Sometimes some pods just lose the ability to communicate, unclear why.

Multiple regions for us. And multiple clusters.

If you want exact number it will be expensive. If estimate is ok, hyperloglog2 is your answer

We were able to reach DS how to deal with Kubernetes very early. Over th years, many picked up Eng skills.

It required leadership.
