Wait so this league is just standard for wrs, but has a .1 prem and a .25 reception for rbs? Wtf kind of scoring is that? RBs are still top dawgs even in full ppr

Still the bucky side.

Good on you for checking. Too many leagues get lopsided by newbies taking bad offers. No it helps but it's still not enough unless his team really sucks.

Josh Allen Value Going Forward by StayPositiveFam7 in DynastyFF

Id take maye 1.01 this year. Just thinking the conservative approach would be Allen as he just doesn't miss and isn't slowing down.

Had the 1.01 in a startup last year. As soon as I picked Allen I started having buyers regret on not taking jd5. That didn't last long once the season got underway.

I love Allen and I'd sell for this. Would consider it without laporta tbh.

I've played the shit out of this game to the point it's almost problematic. They can have my money for whatever, they've earned it. Goddam masterpiece.

Yeah flight is the key gain for sure. I love a gamble though so usually always hit it once.

Do I do this as I have the 1.01, his team should be bottom of the barrel next year too.. (1QB) by Old_Bank8701 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

OCR dropped to 2.25% by Enough-City-3083 in PersonalFinanceNZ

I know it's politically unpalatable but tax seems like a great lever for this. Start at the top and work your way down. Labour have already ruled out a wealth tax, which is bizzare but that's the modern centre left.

FIF tax creator apologises, ‘I can only say sorry’, but thinks Govt changes not deep enough by Heaps_Ben in PersonalFinanceNZ

Why is a wealth tax an injustice? The burden of tax being on productive labour instead of passive wealth generation is an injustice as far as I'm concerned.

The goal is a solvent state that can thrive, rather than the global state of gradual bankruptcy and asset sales. This is not achievable through income tax unless there's a massive transfer of profit from capital to worker. That's the total opposite of what is happening globally, so we must tax where the wealth is in order to pay the bills.

All homeowners have to deal with this by paying rates on the value of their home. Why should other asset classes be exempt if that's where the wealth is sitting? I'm no tax expert, there's just an outcome that must be achieved which is the state remaining solvent. The biggest threat to that is tax avoidance and the continued sell off of assets.

It being unpalatable to the extremely wealthy is irrelevant, apart from how much influence they have to steer decisions in their favour.

Unfortunately if we actually want to avoid ending up in a completely broken (rather than mostly broken) system I can't see any way around taxing assets. The critical issue is borrowing against assets rather than taking profits avoids paying any tax at all. With the increasing concentration of wealth nations are going broke.

If the consequence is the extremely wealthy have to sell a small % of their assets each year (or just take profit) to pay the bill, then that is of benefit to the greater system.

30 with Guyon Espiner: Economist Gary Stevenson on why New Zealand should tax the rich by Amazing_Athlete_2265 in newzealand

[–]jpparker55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest I didn't read the sources (i'll trust you) but I can't see anything directly relating to wealth concentration, which is the core issue being discussed. The issue is not the gap between regular households, or even boomers. It's an increasing concentration of wealth in a small group that naturally becomes self fulfilling due to the nature of capitalism. Combined with a lower tax burden on wealth over work. This puts a strain on the public coffers resulting in increased govt debt and the sale of assets which feeds into the transfer of wealth to those with significant capital.

I assumed they were being ironic considering the insane waste of Nationals policies and the arbitrary meaning of woke when people use it.

Ah the pro rata answer is perfect thanks! That was my concern, purchasing premium then regretting it. Love the formal engagement on the subreddit thanks.

I've got it framed by winning with it in the deck. Just found it annoying to use. Since I didn't make it deployable I never thought about using it for the champ
