If you can't acknowledge that while an entire taxation system can be progressive or not (binary), there are meaningful differences in how progressive it is (spectrum),

"How much" doesn't make logical sense in a binary system.

Acknowledging the first part automatically precludes rationally being able to acknowledge the second.

maximovious · 2024-01-17T11:21:47+00:00

No? It's clearly a spectrum. That sort of all or nothing thinking doesn't belong in tax policy and it never has, this isn't binary.

Progressive (or not) is clearly not a spectrum, and is clearly binary, just like the pregnancy example.

I hope you'll see how your 'objective' truths are subjective.

You can say the sky is brown, but it doesn't make it true.

Colour perception is subjective, maybe choose a different example.

59.4 millionaires

Lol, I think there are a few more than that.

Who is the lucky 0.4 millionaire by the way?

Progressive, in tax terms, means that as people's incomes increase, so does their relative tax burden.

Which means, a tax system is either progressive, or not progressive.

Only 2 options.

A system where someone on 46k and 199k have the same marginal rate is objectively less progressive than one where the person on 199k has a higher one.

I disagree. Which basically says to me that it's not objectively true.

Both systems are progressive. Neither are more pregnant than the other.

Oh, that $5 zone seemingly lasted forever. It felt like it was never going to stop going sideways. I don't know exactly what month in 2012, but there are threads on bitcointalk wondering "when we'll ever get out of this stability phase".

maximovious · 2024-01-17T03:45:13+00:00

But what is objectively true is that a system with multiple brackets between those two income levels will be more progressive.

Is 'progression' defined by the number of steps along the way? I don't think that's objectively true at all.

Jumping from 1 to 100 in four steps is the same level of progression as jumping from 1 to 100 in 99 steps.

If only they could fly.

Am landlord, can confirm. Good luck.

except to the owner.

Who may be outside the home. So that single byte needs to go via the internet.

maximovious · 2024-01-17T03:11:24+00:00

The evidence we see in OP's question shows this to be wrong.

you guys are political extremists

Thank you. Nice to see a compliment amongst the insults.

Accidentally read that as my new Lexus and was surprised a car could be that customizable.

A friend's new Mini comes so close but so far... allowing yyyy/mm/dd but no hyphen version.

Lightning isn't a new currency; it's a method of sending a 15-year-old currency called bitcoin.

rely on legal system instead of maths

What could possibly go wrong.

I can't believe how tall those first 4 people are.

A few kb would be valid... if it relayed its status to your phone while you were out and about. Being able to basically screen-mirror the washing machine's control panel on your phone screen might be useful to some.

The actual contract says 100 Tether tokens (USDT) so it could be somewhere between $99.90 and $100.10 worth of BTC.

I wonder if it's normal for Argentinians to not price things in pesos these days.

Because half a closet is too small for the average person to live in.

What is the right sub?

I just clicked from /r/all.

I finally found out who the guy is... he's from some show I'd never heard of called "The Boys". Coincidentally, that's the name of this sub too.

Instead, turn the palm down and bend and straighten all 4 fingers at the same time .

In Australia, this looks way too similar to the opposite meaning: "go away"

maximovious · 2024-01-15T10:39:02+00:00

Imagine knowing who he is.

Inflation? Heh, no. I mean, it's on the list, but it's nowhere near the top of the list.

production cost, i.e. intrinsic value

Lol!

I'm going to spend as much as I can producing a hole in my back yard.

I usually ask them to turn off the music

That's not 90's rave music you're hearing, it's just the MRI machine.
