I want to point out that this is something that’s been largely misrepresented to make it look like Bill is disagreeing with paying more tax. He’s not saying her idea is bad. He agrees with more of his money being used to help people. He’s saying that most billionaires use “creative” methods to avoid paying the tax they should already, so to just focus on increasing tax isn’t addressing the actual problem, that many of these people should already be paying a lot more than they are, and constantly find ways around it. https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/everybody-talking-about-tax-bill-gates-pokes-holes-in-extreme-tax-idea/news-story/48b324ddbf03e97ef5c7c69f1682f01a The problem is, the headlines are very deliberately being written in a way to make it look like a smart guy like Bill is saying “AOC is wrong about everything”, when he’s actually saying “I agree with her idea in principle, but if you don’t close the tax loopholes, it won’t work as well as it should”.
specifically his criticism was that if you want to tax the rich you need to target capital gains and inheritance, because most super rich people aren’t getting rich off of ‘income’ as it’s legally defined, so a higher marginal tax rate will only target a fraction of the wealth of the average billionaire
and he has a point but most of the people opposed to a higher marginal tax rate ignore that because they’re the same people that like to scream about double taxation
How deep does the hole go?

I can’t quite get over Al being one of the most powerful alchemists in Amestris, possibly the world. Potentially there are others like Izumi, who have seen the Truth and just kept quiet about it? But…unlikely. Narratively speaking. And having seen the Truth automatically puts you several steps up over most other alchemists out there, so Al is, objectively speaking, in an elite club of four living alchemists right now, one of whom can’t practice alchemy anymore (hi, Ed) and so doesn’t really count. With flame alchemy, Mustang is another whole level of danger, but Al and Izumi are right there at his heels in terms of ability to Casually Wreck Your Shit. Yet there she is, a simple housewife, and there he is, a well-dressed young man with an eager smile who probably still picks up stray kittens whenever he finds them…who is, in a traveling party of himself and two superhuman chimeras, absolutely the most dangerous one. “Stop right there, or the prettyboy gets it!” snarls a bandit with a knife to Al’s neck. “Please stop,” says the prettyboy anxiously, and presses his hands together. A fist of earth knocks the sword from the bandit’s grasp, and another his feet from the earth. “I don’t want to hurt you.” If he didn’t just sweep the man’s feet out from under him with a well-placed kick - you know he trained that old body right back into the shape he’d had his metal one in. He looks like the sort of young man you would be delighted to bring home to your mother. He could probably level a city, though it might take a couple hours. Second only to his teacher (maybe) and the Flame Alchemist himself. I love Alphonse Elric.
Congratulations to Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse on winning Best Animated Feature!
“Enjolras was a charming young man, who was capable of being terrible. He was angelically handsome. He was a savage Antinous. One would have said, to see the pensive thoughtfulness of his glance, that he had already, in some previous state of existence; traversed the revolutionary apocalypse.”
this may be an Unpopular Opinion (even on tumblr) but like the 8-hour workday is just Too Gotdamn Long
like even sitting in an office for eight hours a day isn’t particularly pleasant (or healthy, as we are beginning to see) but when we’re talking about doing *actual work* for that same amount time it gets pretty fucking brutal
doing literally *anything* (even leisure activities) for eight hours straight tends to be less than enjoyable but when we’re talking about things like construction, landscaping, factory work, and hell, even foodservice and retail, eight hours is a fucking ETERNITY
i might just be a lazy weak-willed bitch but honestly i think i’m not entirely wrong
this was being worked towards by leftist labor unions way back in the day after the time of FDRs new deal. people in the 40s and 50s were already starting to realize that we no longer actually needed an 8 hour work day or even a 5 day work week.
even with the comparatively primitive factory tech of the time we were already creating a huge amount of excess production back then and companies were making massive amounts of profit. So it already stood to reason that companies should either let their employees work less and thus each employee could work a shorter shift without lowering the yearly compensation of each employee, or in cases where businesses provide an active service they would shorten the shift but hire more people to cover the necessary operating time. but of course that would mean less money for people at the top so companies fought back hard and we ended up with nixon’s bullshit and so on and now its considered the norm for us to spend the vast majority of our lives doing work that really just amounts to waste.
The IWW realised this and were fighting for it all the way back in the 1930s. This is a take with a lot of historical and theoretical grounding, OP, so you’re standing in good stead.
I’d also like to add it’s also been studied and scientifically proven that after 6 hours, we have an extremely noticeable drop in productivity. Sweden saw nothing but benefits from a 6-hour work day, including worker productivity, happiness, and half the amount of sick-leave used when applied to nurses.

It ceases to be about production and more about subjugation.
DING DING DING
WE HAVE OURSELVES A WINNER!
Let’s just start circulating the images from the IWW again.
It’ll make old (rich and white) people mad and that’s only a plus. Seriously, put it on your Facebook and see how long it takes for Aunty Soandso to have an opinion about how “lazy” Millenials are and who is going to serve her coffee at 4pm after picking up her kiddies because all the shops are going to close and go out of business forever and society as we know it will crumble!
Let. It. Fall.

I reblog this every time I see it, because the part that makes this so horrific to me, is that the room is a direct callback to Goodnight Moon. It takes this memory of safety and security and turns it directly upside down and I love it.
