@VinnieKhurana@AimenDean The point is that if you raise taxes too high they will just leave because they have the means to relocate unlike the average person, zero tax is worse than current tax
@InnocentTr4769 @rawespresso True, but as long as you have sufficient geographic diversification across your portfolio its a risk worth taking imo. You can't forego time in the market because of it.
@icodeguy@DrHenryinvestor Those are offset by higher sales, property or excise taxes. No such thing as a free lunch buddy. The Gubmint will get their cut one way or the other. UK also has a far lower crime rate.
@icodeguy@DrHenryinvestor Most people don't invest because they are financially illiterate. Also, in the US you have pay Local, State and Federal taxes which probably offsets any nominally lower income tax rate.
@fionamcnicol12@MaajidNawaz Not really any balancing act. The Crown in theory can refuse royal assent for legislation passed through Parliament but this hasn't happened for about 320 years
@wetshard@adamseconomics It would be a logistical nightmare that would require much blood and treasure. Iran has difficult geography to overcome and horrific heatwaves. No sane military advisor would advocate for it and Iran knows Trump can't pay the political price.
@Theobult@AkkadSecretary OK, I'll do it for you. FDA uses an standard called "Generally Recognised as Safe" which allows manufacturers to include anything not banned even if it has not been tested as safe. This allowance is why ingredients lists are longer in the US than Western Europe.
@Tez11288903@AcademicAgent_X They'll probably make some gay State of Exception argument so that it doesnt fit the legal definition of a war and just wash their hands of it
@PCBPATJR@Leonard73714140 No, they couldn't. The only reason they managed the first time was because the UK didn't think Argentina was stupid enough to try.
@Pan_Dread@AirMan1979@calvinfroedge If Trump wasn't so keen to tongue-polish Netanyahu's anus then oil wouldn't have gone up in the first place. Sounds like a backpedal with extra steps and people are coping by making it out to be 4d chess
