  • Need a “securities” tax, payable in shares of the security. An annual assessment of 1% of all shares owned, transferred directly to an IRS liquidation department. The liquidated shares will be sold off to the general public over time, such that no more than 1% of total traded volume of the security are liquidated shares.

    Individual investors can exempt up to $10 million in value from the tax. Artificial persons (corporations, trusts, any “owner” that isn’t human) are non-exempt.

    Basically, stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments become more valuable assets to the working class, but carry more liabilities for the problem class.


















  • You have to do it right, but yes.

    There is a school in the US that converted stalls into actual rooms, which was good. But the way the law was written, the area outside the stalls was considered a prohibited, unisex "changing area’ because it was private rather than public. The solution was to make it a public handwashing area. But the way they did it was by cutting a window into the former “changing area” to make it public rather than private.

    So it got reported by Republicans as a Democratic attempt to spy on kids in the bathroom. And since it was one of the bathrooms intended to accommodate trans students, it got reported as Republicans trying to spy on trans kids.

    Basically, they did everything right, but pissed off everybody in the process.
