AUSTALIAN HERE: In future if you are going to have people on who make claims about other countries can they just get their facts RIGHT. Is it just too much to ask they get the basics right. Nauru was a BRITISH not Australian protectorate and it was a British company that strip mined the island for phosphate. That had nothing to do with Australia. It was Australia that helped Narau get out of that hole with the court cases. It was Australia that helped invest the funds from the settlement with the British Phosphate company. It was Australia that helped set up their international banking sector which then helped rich Australians avoid tax. Narau DID NOT cede a part of their country to Australia for handling the illegal arrivals. That whole case of the ILLEGAL (and they were illegal) immigrants included a massive multi-national criminal people smuggling system that was insanely exploitive of the people trying to find a new home. In all the years since when people have complained about what Australia did we ask 1 question. *WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE TO STOP THE CRIMINAL EXPLOITATION that was going on?* Nobody ever has a practical answer.

To be fair, stocks would have been up either way.

[@thirstfast1025]

Adam, you should take a look at how big gold mining companies work. I worked for years in the gold exploration industry, and I can tell you from first hand experience that it's very little to do with opening gold mines. It's way more to do with being able to prove resources, to say "we have x-million ounces in the ground", regardless of whether or not those ounces will be extracted. It all comes down to either being able to sell a property for a certain value based on proven resource, or to add those numbers to a company portfolio to attract investment. I would guess that by now, %90 of the value of gold companies is "proven, but not attainable". It's all just a facade. It's a way to invent wealth for the wealthy. Love your work, keep doing what you do.

[@RemarkaBIL]

Adam - you need to ask the *real* questions. Specifically, how do we, the tax-burdened, make our OWN tax haven(s)? Playing by the 'rules' is a sucker bet when the 'rules' only serve the wealthy.

@3nertia or flip the board. If enough Americans cancel their healthcare, move money from their savings account into a brokerage(they can't use it like banks do), and stop withholding on their paychecks , the system will break. Power to the ppl. Their wealth value will plummet until we determine that proper reforms have been implemented

[@3nertia]

@@washingtonbeef1431 Who the fuck can afford to do any of that? Lol

[@washingtonbeef1431]

@3nertia wdym, it cost nothing to transfer your money from savings to a brokerage account. You will be saving money if you are healthy enough to risk a few months without insurance, and will have more cash on hand not getting taxes deducted out of your paycheck. Its completely legal, and can be done from your phone in most cases . Only downside, if it doesn't work, you need to pay those taxes at the end of the year, you don't gain interest on your savings while it's sitting in a brokerage, and you might need to find a new health insurance. But I think at most they could hold out for a few months before they system cracks if even just 10m Americans did this.

Why don't they just tax companies on profits made on a product or service in each country they do business in. So the profits go to that country first, regardless of where the umbrella companies are registered.

[@SR-cm2my]

They do on paper but the company that produces goods is not the company that sells them. The company that sells them is usually an offshore entity. I used to work at a very reputable American technology firm. All the products we built were not owned by the American firm but by the Irish firm with the same name. The American firm paid our salaries and always operated at a loss because the Irish firm paid the American firm just under what our salaries/operating expenses were.

[@Apophlegmatis]

Broad legislation, I feel, will always leave room for loopholes, if the legislation intends to be fair for the little guy. For instance, while underemployed, I can't make enough to make ends meet and receive medical and food benefits, but the cost of earning 1 dollar too much to qualify equates to 15 hours of work per week, and it ramps up from there. Luckily 1099 counts half toward benefit qualification so I can actually make ends meet with less than 55-60 hours per week, but there are no alternatives at my current income level. (I don't seek pity by saying that, just illustrating my firsthand knowlege of a very real, I'm sure common, scenario)

Increasing the cost of debt financing relative to equity is, in my opinion, one way to solve the problem. In order to raise money, a startup or corporation will first go to equity funding, which will allow workers who choose to contribute as well as stockholders to do so. Then, as we gradually create an equity-based society for the majority, those billionaires will no longer be able to grow their businesses by taking on more debt.

26:49 “…now people are talking about space…” Yes, space, but not for minerals. Communications and energy. Minerals from space will never beat minerals on Earth. Rockets plus clever robots will never be economically competitive against a shovel and bucket. After SpaceX’s reusable rockets everyone sees and understands satellite constellations for Internet from anywhere. Everyone talks about fusion but ignores the fusion reactor at the centre of our solar system. Terrestrial solar energy suffers from day/night, weather and land use, none of which space-based solar energy suffers. We know there’s a virtually bottomless market for energy and virtually bottomless feedstock.

Seasteading is sounding really good rn tbh

[@CarFreeSegnitz]

Considering the size of boat any sub-billionaire can afford seasteading is worse than living in a closet. No room to move. Omnipresent threat of sinking and drowning.

First she spoke about “the line city” As if it’s actually going to ever exist. Then she said we will mine asteroids in our lifetime.. i had to stop listening there.

[@glupik1234]

to be fair, she did say that she thinks the line won't pan out. but it's a real project.

[@DarkMoonStarsong]

The rich continue to help the rich while the rest of us struggle to even pay for their products and services. Doesn't seem fair, does it?
