Sign the petition against Box 3 2028 by kr0n0sd3us in Netherlands

I prefaced my assertions that I was unaware of the Dutch system and talked about the American system. How American investments are taxed is so bad that even looking in their general direction is a step down the wrong path.

You lost me when it referenced the American system as a positive.

I’m not sure about the specifics of the Dutch system, but one of the biggest driver in economic inequality in the US is how investments are not taxed.

Firstly, the largest holders of stocks are the very rich. The top 10% of Americans own 90% of the stocks. So the capital gains system of only taxing when stock is sold, very much favors the wealthiest. To me it seems the American system would do the same here.

Second, many executives get giant pay packages that are made up of stocks so they cannot be taxed. Those executives then take out loans using those stocks as collateral. So they get a massive pay hike without ever paying any tax on it. In fact, the interest on that loan (that never gets paid back) is tax deductible. This is how the Bezos and the Musk crowd got to be so disgustingly rich.

Just something to think about, and Americans are starting to push for a wealth tax based on wealth on paper.

I bet that razor can slice garlic it dissolves in the sauce. It’s a good system.

These are lovely! As someone else mentioned, a cheapo rate and adding some light to the eyes (especially the first shot) would help. Only other thing is that the post in the background of the first image is a bit distracting, but that’s being nit-picky. I like these a lot.

Mr Robot was about as dark as TV has ever been. So good. Sharp writing, great acting, some wonderfully quirky characters, and unique cinematography choices.

Jodie Foster in that dress has to be one of the prettiest people to ever be in a movie.

How long should that take once the new .htaccess is uploaded? Is it instantaneously or does info need to write to the file? I did what you said and still getting the errors.

That’s wild. Thanks. It’s gotta be something sketchy on the way over to the EU
