Thanks for the explanation! Why is it like this though? The people voted for the president, not the vice president, so why aren’t there new elections?

Unfortunately, most of them do. Obviously, still no reason to level the city, but you should not fall for that romantic thought of an oppressed populace that is secretely against the war.

Would Vance just get to to continue be president for the remaining term? The more I learn about the US system, the more I realise how dumb it is. Why are there no new elections when the president dies? Vice president should only take over during the transition…

Who’s what “we”? Haven’t seen anyone do anything against ICE’s kidnappings.

Great reasoning… leave it for when it doesn’t matter anymore

In Switzerland there is wealth tax that scales with your wealth and already starts at 100k, but then it’s something like 0.001%. I’ve never heard anyone complain about it. I do agree though that the idea of treating leveraging assets as income is quite interesting and makes sense.

Gewohnt dumme Generalisierung

In der Schweiz gibt es kaum Bäcker, geschweige denn gutes Brot… aber ansonsten hast du recht.

100% correct. Apart from overproduction, this is the biggest problem with cars. Absolutely no one needs an SUV that weighs tons, it uses more gas and it’s way more dangerous. Honestly, there should be an upper weight/size limit on cars.

How would that be better than a simple wealth tax?

If it were 2% wealth tax, I’d agree with you. Like this it’s worth nothing. It’s incredibly easy for rich people to have an income of essentially 0.

Du hast nichts widerlegt, wenn Trump das Darlehen nicht bekommen hätte, wäre er pleite gewesen und hätte daher nicht kandidieren können.

Yes, which part of my comment do you think yours refutes?

Fair enough, although the sources you cited aren’t exactly known for their sane takes.

I think you posed the wrong question, Musk is clearly drugged up mad, not even a doubt about it. Thiel and Altman pretty much the same. I would rather like some examples for AOC and Mamdani.

Hast du vllt nen peertube link zu dem video?

DB is solely responsible for Trump being president and had major involvement in causing the 2007/08 financial crisis. This cheap PR stunt means nothing.

Either 22 or 29 months is ridiculous… things should be used until they break and then ideally repaired and used more. My last phone I used for 7 years.

True, but that just means the measure is useless.
