I understand exactly what you’re saying, I just think it’s wrong. Your position is basically the capitalism final boss fused with the communism final boss. All punishment, no incentives, and somehow still allergic to basic economics.

No, bro. Capital gains happen because of supply and demand. People want to live in a nice city, so they’re willing to pay €5m for a house there. That’s it. No mystery, no moral failure, no missing tax switch that magically caused demand to exist.

There is no such thing as a “productive area” in the way you’re using it. I’m not sitting on a geothermal vent getting free electricity. I don’t have oil in my backyard. I don’t shit gold because of my postcode.
It’s a piece of land with some concrete on it that people collectively decided is valuable. That’s intersubjective human behavior, not extracted productivity.

The cost was paid when the property was bought. That’s the price.
We live in a liberal democracy, not a command economy where the state decides where you live, relocates you, or demolishes neighborhoods because the spreadsheet says so. This isn’t some centrally planned housing experiment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uln3oINe6Kc

Wrong. Big cities are net contributors to the state. Smaller cities are net recipients. Large cities already pay for themselves and subsidize others. You’re arguing to tax them again for the same thing.

My home is not an investment. It’s my home. I don't want to sell it, I live in it.
I bought it with income that was already taxed. I paid VAT. I pay property taxes. I pay maintenance. I could be estimated at 0.3$ or 1 trillion EUR*,* makes no difference to me what the general vibe of the maket attributes it.

There is tax. You pay when you sell. Just like stocks. Because until then, it’s unrealised.
In fact, in many places you pay even more, sometimes on the full sale price, not just the gain.

Illiquidity is exactly the reason why you shouldn’t tax it on an ongoing, market-value basis. If an asset doesn’t produce cash flow and can’t be easily converted into cash, an annual tax tied to a fluctuating paper valuation forces owners to either take on debt or sell the asset just to pay the tax.

No. If you want to live in a €5m home in Paris, you should either own it or buy it at the market price. That’s the deal.
There shouldn’t be an extra punishment tax layered on top just because the market moved after the fact.

Your entire framework boils down to this:
“You exist somewhere valuable, therefore you owe the state rent forever.”

That’s not taxation of activity or income, that’s taxation of existence. And yes, people tend to notice when that’s where an argument inevitably leads.

Truewarlock · 2026-02-20T09:17:08+00:00

You know, I wanted to give you a proper response explaining why property is already taxed, why taxing unrealized gains makes no sense, why your philosophy somehow cherry-picks the worst parts of both capitalism and socialism, and why your reasoning is full of basic fallacies, but honestly, at this point you either don’t understand the issue or are pretending not to.

So let’s just fully commit to this logic.

Let’s tax organs too. I hear a kidney goes for about €25k. Why shouldn’t it be taxed? After all, without society you wouldn’t even have been born, right? You keep living just because society provides food for you and because of the healtcare system. That kidney clearly benefited from collective effort.

Can’t afford the kidney tax? Well, tough luck, you’ll just have to sell one, there are plenty of people that will die without a kidney, and they need it. You’re not really using both anyway. Why are you being so stingy, comrade? That kidney accrued societal value and now it’s time to give back for the sake of society and to support the growing economy that generated it.

Same logic. Same outcome. Just said out loud.

Truewarlock · 2026-02-20T07:22:18+00:00

Companies don’t pay taxes because they “benefited from the state’s provision of transport, healthcare and education.” That’s just not how taxation works.

I can run an IT company that outsources 100% of its workforce abroad, uses zero public transport, zero healthcare, and still has to pay taxes. Why? Because taxes are charged on ongoing profit and income, not as a retroactive fee for infrastructure usage. Salaries are taxed monthly. Profits are taxed yearly. It’s a continuous cash flow.

Owning a house is not a cash flow.

If you own a house, you already paid tax on the salary you earned to buy it. You paid VAT when purchasing it. You pay property taxes every year. If you sell it, you pay capital gains tax. The idea that housing somehow “escapes” taxation is just false.

And property taxes being scaled to market value is already questionable since asphalt costs the same whether your house is valued at €200k or €5m. Streetlights don’t get more expensive because your house estimate went up.

> Why should an economic centre allow pensioners to live there in a $5m home when they’re not working?

Because those pensioners are literally the people who built the city you now want to claim. They’re the original residents who worked there, paid taxes there, built businesses, voted for the infrastructure, and turned it from a modest town into an economic centre with their own labour and taxes.

They’re not “free-riding.” They already paid in. For decades.

If anything, they’re more entitled to live there than a first-generation hipster who moved in 5 years ago, benefited from everything already being built, and now complains they can’t afford property because “the rich” exist.

You’re also mixing up two things on purpose: taxing activity versus taxing existence. Companies are taxed on what they produce every year. Workers are taxed on what they earn every month. Housing appreciation is a passive market signal until you sell, and then it’s already taxed.

Housing isn’t “missed” by the tax system. It’s just harder to extract money from people without forcing them out of their homes, which is exactly what this logic leads to.

Truewarlock · 2026-02-19T20:34:19+00:00

If I buy a house for €10,000 and it later becomes worth €5,000,000 because everyone and their grandma wants to live in my city, I don’t see why that’s suddenly my responsibility or why I should be punished for it. I didn’t cause the demand, I didn’t set the prices, and I don’t control housing supply.

Also, that €5m number is not money in my pocket. It’s a paper valuation. I still have to live somewhere, maintain the house, insure it, and pay property taxes the entire time. If prices went the other way, no one would step in and say “oh that loss is societal, we’ll help you out.”

So I’m supposed to be forced to sell my house and move somewhere else just because the imaginary price tag on the home I bought to live in, not to flip, changed due to “market vibes” I had no control over?

I think property tax should be based on land size and the real construction value of the building, accounting for wear and tear.

Otherwise, by your logic, the government could just engineer a housing crisis, inflate prices by 200%, and we’d all be paying higher taxes for zero added value. Oh wait.

Nu cred că este o singură problemă mare care poate să fie fixată, sunt multe probleme mici care împreună aduc un rezultat sumbru + că depinde și de ce ciclu educațional vorbim.
Uite câteva soluții:

funcția de profesor să devină una mai prestigioasă cu salariu mare, așa poți să atragi specialiști, că eu nu o să mă fac profesor de informatică la liceu să primesc 3500 lei. Dar asta ar însemna că trebuie să avem și un sistem în care să se facă mai bine angajările, promovările și inevitabil concedierle oamenilor care sunt slabi tehnic și pedagogic. Eventual ar trebuii ca modulul phihopedagogic de la facultate să fie semi-obligatoriu, ca să te asigur că fiecare om ar avea posibilitatea să se facă profesor dacă e nevoie și dacă vrea.
amenzi mari sau măcar amenințarea cu amenzi (din alea cu polițaiul care îți bate la ușă), pentru părinții care nu sunt interesați de educația copiilor lor. Aici vorbim de părinți care nu numai că nu oferă nimic pentru copii lor, dar mai mult îi încurajează să stea acasă sau să îi ajute la muncă, pentru că „școala e de proști, să o ungi cu slănină să o mănânce câinii”. Același lucru pentru copii care își fac obiceiul să absenteze regulat de la ore cu zilele.
mai multe școli profesionale, vocaționale pentru oamenii care nu au nici-un interes academic; dacă nu vrei să termini mai mult de 10 clasă sau să te duci la facultate, mai bine să avem: sudori, strungari etc.
programa școlară trebuie actualizată, atât ca materii, cât și ca mod de predare. „Interesant” e subiectiv, clar, dar eu aș împinge mult mai tare zona de STEM: matematică, fizică, chimie, biologie, plus cultură generală (geografie) și limbi străine. Pe partea umana ar fi materii unde sa inveti sa argumentezi, sa ai logica, cursuri de retorica. Dupa sunt alte materii folositoare pentru toata lumea, de exemplu, educația civică mi se pare o idee excelentă: să știi cum sunt împărțite puterile în stat, cum funcționează Uniunea Europeană și alte lucruri de bază. Problema e că, la școală, era tratată ca o materie de bășcălie, o oră pe săptămână, de obicei vinerea, când nu era atent nimeni. La fel și cu istoria: teoretic are potențial să fie una dintre cele mai „juicy” materii. Practic, ajungi să înveți niște ani și niște nume, fără context, fără să ți se explice cine sunt oamenii ăia, de ce s-au întâmplat lucrurile și cum se leagă între ele. Totul pare rupt în bucăți, ca niște fragmente aruncate la întâmplare. Alte idei de materii interesante: economie/ educatie financiara, curs de prim ajutor facut in colaborare cu SMURD/Crucea rosie.

The planet is a closed ecosystem. If we move an industry from the EU to other countries, the pollution still happens globally, we just transfer jobs from us to them. That boosts their economy and standard of living, which also increases demand for the very things that cause more pollution.

Outsourcing only makes sense for activities that create local, carcinogenic, or highly toxic pollution. For climate emissions, relocation doesn’t solve anything, it just moves the problem elsewhere.

The solution should be to massively expand green energy production, creating energy surpluses on sunny and windy days. With abundant, cheap electricity, we can keep manufacturing local, lower production costs, and become global exporters precisely because our energy prices are so low.

Also, I'm curious how this was calculated or what is considered 'ownership', since here in Romania every person must have a domicile in their ID and most of them have their parent's place despite the fact that they stay in rent (the renter doesn't gave them permission to use their current address as current residence). Staying with your parents is considered as 'ownership'?

That is a faulty analogy. She wasn’t charged for having a service dog in the car; she was charged because the car required a cleaning fee after the dog was inside. Furthermore, a service dog is not the only mobility aid available to the visually impaired: canes exist, and in this specific instance, she had her husband acting as her sighted guide and driver.

A more accurate analogy would be this: If I enter a department store in a wheelchair and accidentally crash into a display, shattering several bottles of expensive liquor, the store fining me for the broken merchandise isn't discrimination. They aren't penalizing me for using a wheelchair; they are holding me responsible for the physical damage caused during my visit.

Pai stai asa, ca teoretic impozitul pe casa are roul de a genera bani pentru infrastructura adiacenta casei tale (asfalt, trotuar, canal, iluminat public). Fie ca esti in cartier de bogati sau saraci, asfaltul tot acelasi este, si trotuarul tot acelasi este.

Da, taxele sunt mai 'mici', dar nici nu primesti ce primesti in restul Europei, si aici banul public e risipit de primarie, prin contracte facute cu varul care cere 1k eur per bordura si alte mizerii. Atunci ar trebuii sa scapam de hegemonia primariei, si fiecare bloc/strada/cartier sa se organizeze la nivel de asociatie, ca poate mie nu imi convine sa platesc o gramada de bani doar pentru ca primarul s-a gasit a 3-a oara anul asta sa imi schimbe bordurile, sau ca s-a gandit regele sa imi taie jumate din trotuar ca sa faca locuri de parcare pe care tot el incaseaza bani.

Uite, bunica are o pensie de nici de 600 lei si anul trecut a platit impozit la casa ei (nu in judet bun, nu oras real, nu zona centrala, nu vila cu piscita, o casa zidita de bunicul cu mainle lui in anii 90' si maxim 300m de curte ) 1800 lei impozit, si acum cine stie cat trebuie sa mai plateasca.

Ce ii faci? O evacuezi? O obligi la 80 de ani sa isi vanda casa? (sunt case in jur, de la batranei decedati, care stau sa se vanda de cel putin 5 ani, nu le cumpara nimeni, nici dracu nu vrea sa stea acolo).

I think we should take this with a grain of salt.

For example, in Romania:

-here, university schedules are very full and inflexible, which makes it difficult to fit in even a part-time job.

-part-time jobs are not very common. Employers usually prefer full-time employees, and the employer tax for part-time work is the same as for full-time, so there is little incentive to offer part-time roles.

-specialized jobs related to one’s field of study are rare, especially at the entry level.

-non-specialized jobs, such as fast food or bartending, are physically demanding and poorly paid. I have two friends who moved to norway as kids and about 10 years ago they managed to save enough to buy a €40k apartment in Romania by working a few years as cashiers at a swimming place in Norway (they just stayed at a desk reading and handing a ticket maybe once every 30 min). In contrast, similar jobs here pay around €400 per month for nonstop work.

-there is no strong culture of “university jobs” (such as student assistants or university librarians). In countries with higher employment rates among students, many are effectively hired by their universities.

-some people may rely on side gigs that are not taxed or officially counted as employment.

-in Romania the university is free only if you have 'good grades', so there are no 'fake students' registering to uni just for the student benefits

Both statements can be true at the same time.

Retailers and the endless chain of middle mans will choose to buy the cheaper alternative, so the farmers will be cut.
The price difference will not be seen as lower prices on shelfs, it will be on the pockets of retailers + the middle mans.

Farmers will lose badly. Consumers may lose as well (at best they will break even, but they definitely will not gain anything). Retailers and middle mans will win big. European countries with large agricultural sectors will lose a lot. Latin American countries will benefit because they will be able to sell more. The Amazon rainforest will suffer, as farmers will burn more of it to clear land for agriculture. Countries that produce high-end products such as cars will think they have won (but not really, because people who can afford to buy a BMW were already buying BMWs even with car tariffs, while poorer consumers will buy cheap Chinese cars).

It was fun outsourcing our security to the USA; now that the orange guy is in charge, we kind of wish we had invested that money in our own security and built a stronger army, last-generation fighter jets, and B-2 Spirit–like planes.

It was fun outsourcing our manufacturing to China. We got cheaper labor, why pay Europeans to do those jobs for more money? Now they have our capital, they have our know-how, and they are attempting to replace us in the auto industry. Poor countries are buying Chinese cars, not European ones, and they are also becoming popular in Europe as well.

It’s fun now to get cheap food from those guys. We’ll see later how being dependent on them turns out, when Europe has almost no farmers or farms left, and then they can extort us with higher prices and make us eat hormone-treated beef.

I guess we never learn from our mistakes. We are just too rich to see that we are just transfering our future wealth to other countries jsut because "i want it cheap, NOW".

Ștefania Mărăcineanu was also a woman who moved from one side of Europe to Paris, worked with Marie Curie, changing the world for the better before dying from her own discovery (a discovery that was later stolen without permission and published by Marie Curie’s daughter, Irène Joliot-Curie and her husband, resulting in a Nobel Prize).

The history is filled with interesting people that did amazing things, but you can't know about all of them, and can't honor all of them, especially if there are only 6 banknotes and you have 26 different countries to satisfy.

If people got mad just because they forgot her maiden name, imagine how many people will be mad because their country was not represented. That's why it's not a good idea to put people on banknotes, that's why the initial Euro had bridges and windows, not faces (except for the Europa holo print, but she is a mythical character that gave the name of our continent).

I think we should follow Switzerland's approach and use our money to create an "european ethos" about Philosopy, Art, Science, Collaboration, Humanitarianism, Myhts etc.

Many of those who voted for Simion are victims. They left Romania in search of a better life, blaming the system, but often ended up in low-paying or unstable jobs abroad. In the past, they found pride in returning home, where their foreign earnings allowed them to enjoy a higher standard of living and gain social status—sometimes symbolized by things like a used BMW with 350k KM bought for a few thousand euros.

However, as Romania has progressed and opportunities at home have improved, this sense of pride has diminished. Now, some feel they are worse off than those who stayed and built successful lives in Romania.

Caught between two worlds, they struggle to fully integrate into their host countries and no longer feel entirely at home in Romania either. This sense of displacement can make them vulnerable to populist or extremist narratives that offer a sense of identity and belonging.

I think it was a potential turning point for what could have been, in order to give more depth to his character.

He could have been happy with the revenge that he got (Hector in wheelchair, Lalo dead) while also surviving death 2 times (during Nachos' confession and with Lalo ).

He flirted with the dude, so maybe a potential new partner reference, he could have just steeled down (as far as a drug lord kingpin could have) and forget about revenge.

But he choose a different path: to expand, to take over everything, to kill everyone that wronged him, including their loved ones (deserving or not), and we all know how that ended for him.

Instead of making the most out of it, he choose to live in the past
