OK. What exactly did you want us to do with your warning? It’s not like we got a vote…

Of the wealth this hypothetical tax would apply to. If you want to criticize the original premise you’re replying to the wrong person.

Because, as I said, if they instead tax 98% of their wealth then all the billionaires will move there and they’ll get 98% of a lot more while everyone else gets 99% of nothing. Until a country works out they could get 97% of all that wealth to themselves and so on and so forth until you get down to the sort of tax levels we actually see. It’s just basic game theory in the end.

They’re not going to go to Haiti though, they’re going to go to Monaco or Switzerland or Ireland or The Netherlands. That’s my point, for this to work all of the “developed” nations need to agree despite having a massive financial incentive not to.

I mean, the issue is getting all nations to agree to that and making any agreement binding because otherwise the nation that decides to tax them at 98% gets all of the tax revenue…

That’s what happens when physics teachers get a cat.

Yeah, just think of all those famously unprejudiced travelers of history like Christopher Columbus, Cecil Rhodes or Robert Clive…

Pretty sure that’s a picture of the Andromeda galaxy so I’m nowhere near there. We don’t have images like that of the Milky Way for hopefully obvious reasons.

Good(ish) news everyone! Our current models suggest it probably won’t happen this century (although it might) so it’s probably another generation’s problem (although it might not be and it’s still definitely our actions, or lack thereof, that would be fucking them over).

Sorry, that’s about as comforting as climate science gets these days.

If it makes you feel any better it’s simultaneously gaining ~25Mt of ice an hour (on average) due (mainly) to snowfall so it’s “only” losing ~5Mt per hour net.

And if it still doesn’t work apply a flame (may reduce reuse potential but will definitely remove existing markings).

It was the Post Office that lied about it but the software Fujitsu developed was still shit.

Yeah, Hank Green started making them after his wife got a headache watching a 3d movie: http://www.2d-glasses.com/

Read that as “smugness” at first - I think it still fits.

Legolas maybe?
