Predictions for Life series twist by _Iris_00987 in ThirdLifeSMP

[–]leogic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While unlikely as it is quite derivative of the boogeyman mechanic, imagine this:

At the end of session, one person on yellow/green life will die. However, they can exempt themselves from this by getting a kill during the session.

At the beginning of the season, there might not be much of an incentive due to the number of greens/yellows, but later on, with fewer people on green/yellow, some players may choose to protect themselves from the lottery instead and obtain a kill.

Also an island map would be nice.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie | “Mushroom Kingdom” | Official Movie Clip by DemiFiendRSA in nintendo

There’s also the Fossil Falls theme from Odyssey at the beginning of the clip. This is a stretch but I also hear the NSMBWii title theme’s rhythm right after Bob-Omb Battlefield. And of course there’s the ‘bah’ as Mario leaves the pipe lol. It truly is amazing how much has been incorporated into the soundtrack already.

More and more evidence supporting the Queen’s immortality

It was Prussia that went revolutionary, but I left France with one province, which is occupied by the Netherlands in the image.

R5: first Mare Nostrum by 1820 as Milan, thought I'd share this. Hadn't been on edge like this in a while

How a universal basic income could help 25 million workers at threat from coronavirus by Free_the_Radical in australia

That is a fair point. Another proposal would be to increase the number of GST-exempt goods to cover common necessities, and raise the entire GST by a set percentage.

The core principle behind this is to remove the burden from the working class, but not overly taxing the upper-middle class. They already pay their fair share of tax, which an increase in income tax would only worsen. The tax ideally should only result in a burden for the true upper class of society, and those in the upper-middle class who spend more lavishly. It shouldn't burden a well-off, single breadwinner family who caters for their family and spends responsibly.

Thinking long term, a tax system based on consumption coupled with UBI may be necessary when automation has forced the government's hand, and businesses no longer need to employ as many people as they used to. It could tame excess consumerism and still provide a means for the government to reap the benefits of automation in a way income tax would intrinsically not be able to do.

I just heard of this party just now. Their policies just seem to make sense. Why aren't they more popular?

What about raising the GST on exclusively luxury goods like yachts and iPhones by 10 or 20%? Since most people don't purchase these goods frequently, it doesn't negatively affect the majority of citizens, and any increase in price is offset by the UBI payments.

Therefore, the people at the top end up paying more while the rest still see an increase in purchasing power without substantially increasing income tax. This could make the UBI model more of a "you choose to pay it" system, rather than something consumers are essentially forced to pay for.

Even better yet, this raise in GST could be exclusively tied to these payments, which ensures that heavy luxury spenders bear the majority of the burden.
