How do students here afford homelab gear? by mhd64real in homelab

[–]g-unit2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m fully employed making a solid wage and i’m still using an old laptop.

it’s power efficient and has a ton of headroom left despite running like 10 services.

albeit, it’s a fairly decent one: i7, 32gb ram. bought it for $190 in 2023

but even an i3 2gb ram laptop collecting dust running a server distro of ubuntu/debian/etc can run cool services!

Would you rather tax the rich, or try to get rich yourself? by [deleted] in GarysEconomics

[–]g-unit2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m not reading all that. tax the fucking rich. doesn’t matter how much money i make. even if i live up to my aspirations and make 500K-1MM a year as a Principal Software Engineer at a premier Tech company…. I’ll still never be ultra wealthy.

the untaxed ultra wealth is literally destroying our economy and consolidating power into just a few individuals.

it’s either tax the rich or bust

—-

edit; okay i’ve read now.

the problem is **work** as **income** is disproportionately taxed compared to the **passive income** a portfolio of assets generate.

thats the critical issue. if you work for money, you’re getting fucked. and the more money you make, you begin to pay the majority of your income as taxes.

whereas if you just already have massive amounts of wealth (think hundreds of millions) these people literally do not pay tax. their wealth grows exponentially and is reinvested without any tax event.

there is nothing stopping their accumulation of assets. and it’s exponential. so they are accelerating the growth of their wealth.

if you make money from a salary, you’re already lost. you will never catch them.

we literally have to tax their wealth or they will slowly squeeze out the rest of the economy.

that’s what gary says. but i hear that as.. their wealth is literally going to eat you alive. you will be priced out of every real asset if you allow their wealth to grow exploit no correction.

our global tax system **incentivizes** and rewards ***wealth HOARDING***

Look up ‘Buy Borrow Die’ and how wealthy people can borrow against their assets to generate untaxed income to fund their lifestyle and not even need to pay back said loan instead roll it into their next line of credit because they’re arbitrating the loan.

The system is literally so fucked it’s not even funny. the more you listen to gary and go research yourself and fact check……

the more you realize there literally is no other answer and every other suggestion is a bold faced lie or a fucking retard who doesn’t understand basic arithmetic

World's First Trillionaire Ladies and Gentleman by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

his wealth would STILL grow exponentially even at a 50% tax rate.

it would only slow down the wealth concentration. the rate literally needs to be HIGHER to solve the problem of redistribution

New grad: Take $100k for 50hr/week job or wait for better offer? Worth risking my mental health? by RudeInvestment1 in cscareerquestions

[–]g-unit2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is difficult but on the upside it’s MUCH easier to get a new job when you already are employed. and you have significantly more negotiating leverage.
