I could be wrong here, but unless you’re actively trying to hide something pretty serious, I’d be surprised if people use a VPN and set it to a country like Nigeria or Bangladesh if you’re from NA.

Maybe Canada if you’re from the USA, likely other states, or maybe somewhere in the EU if you think their data protection laws will be better for you.

But Nigeria? Who fuck sets their VPN there?

You can also use a post-install “Playbook” to rip all the adware and spyware out of Windows

Does that actually persist across forced updates? I know they’ve been known to re-install things on updates before.

I wonder how long ill be staying on my AM4 motherboard… those updated CPUs for gaming that AMD came out with might be my only option for a long time.

This has actually been my preference vs a straight up wealth tax.

I wouldn’t really call it simple though as these types of things can easily be done off books. You’d have to be able to do audits like how did you pay for this with that cash kinda thing still.

You also need to deal with repayment and prevent double taxation, which is doable to sort out but not easy.

I’d love a major news outlet to write the headline

“Trump says Ukraine has ‘zero gratitude’ for his unconditional surrender plan”

This isn’t a tax on wealth, it’s a tax on income.

There probably isn’t a single billionaire out there with a billion dollar income in any given year unless they’re doing some massive sell off like when Musk sold shares to buy twitter.

What actually happens, is the more wealth you have, the less income you’re actually likely to have at least in proportion to the wealth, because you start doing things like taking loans out against your shares in a company, and potentially never pay it back until you die at which point the estate will pay it off, but I think there’s even some weird estate transfer things that make that favorable to them as well.
