Gary Stevenson asks why millionaires and billionaires are not being taxed more #BBCQT
When Fiona Bruce asks why he thinks a wealth tax will work when other countries have abandoned it
Gary Stevenson points out we did it before in the 50s, 60s and 70s, and it worked then, so it can work now 👏
I am so devastated to announce that Sean Davies (@seanworkingdead), the beautiful soul behind The Working Dead and Work Courses; passed away peacefully on Christmas day. We have lost not just a founder or a developer, but a true staple in our community and the entire industry.
Despite juggling a full-time job, Sean poured every ounce of energy he had into The Working Dead and Work Courses. When others might have given up facing the obstacles that came our way, Sean's response was always the same - a warm smile and an unwavering determination to push forward. "We'll figure it out," he'd say, and somehow, he always did.
In recent months, Sean and the team were on the verge of bringing some of his most ambitious visions to life. He was so close to seeing his dreams become reality, working tirelessly even when his body was telling him to rest. That was Sean - always putting the community first, always thinking about how he could help others succeed.
The hardest part of writing this isn't just sharing the news of his passing - it's knowing that so many of you never got to see the full scope of his genius. Sean was the kind of person who would solve complex problems behind the scenes without ever seeking credit. His humility was as remarkable as his talent. The countless hours maintaining the site without any recognition. It's not only that, it is the difficult reality that Sean will never get to enjoy the fruits from trees of which he planted.
Sean was a man of true character with his tireless work ethic and ironclad integrity. He persevered through so many of Life's challenges when 99% of founders would have packed up and abandoned their dreams. Sean never gave up and embodied a fighting spirit like none other, to show up each day even when at times, all seemed lost.
I know many of you are wondering about the future of the projects Sean held so dear. While my heart aches to even discuss these matters so soon, I know Sean would want us to ensure that his vision continues to touch lives. As CEO for the past year, I've worked side by side with Sean, understanding not just his technical architecture but his hopes and dreams for these platforms.
While I can never replace Sean, I will serve as his successor as the most capable and knowledgeable individual of the operations behind TWD and Work Courses. We've brought on board developers who worked closely with Sean and shared his vision - people he trusted and respected. Rod will continue Sean's passion for education, and Acid remains with us in his advisory capacity. Danny, who spent countless hours with Sean discussing his technical vision, will step in as acting CTO while we thoughtfully search for someone who can honor Sean's technical legacy.
I am very grateful to see our entire team united in this mission to preserve Sean's story. I want to also state for your ease of mind that we're handling the practical matters - transferring assets, securing accounts, and continuing our Catalyst Proposals. But more importantly, we're committed to preserving something far more precious: Sean's spirit of innovation, his unwavering ethical compass, and his genuine desire to make the Cardano ecosystem a better place for everyone.
His legacy is embedded into The Working Dead and Work Courses, and his story; our story, shall not end here.
To Sean's family - words cannot express our sorrow. Please know that your son, brother, and friend touched so many lives in ways that will ripple through our community for years to come.
To our community - thank you for your patience and support as we navigate this profound loss. Sean wasn't just our founder; he was our friend, our mentor, our inspiration. We'll miss his late-night messages full of exciting new ideas, his patient explanations of complex concepts, and most of all, his kind and generous heart.
Sean believed in the power of community to change lives. In his memory, let's come together and continue building the future he envisioned - one where technology serves humanity, where education knows no bounds, and where ethical leadership lights the way forward.
Rest in peace, Sean. You weren't just a great man - you were an extraordinary human being who made this world a better place. We'll make you proud.
I ask you personally to please provide the family some privacy at this very tragic moment in their lives to allow them to grieve. We will be hosting a Twitter Space tomorrow for the community to join in Honor of Sean to allow every one a chance to showcase what a great man he was. I invite each and every one of you to join me and the rest of the team.
Moreover, I imagine many of you have questions, and rightfully so. I and the rest of the team will make ourselves available in DMs, Support Tickets, or Discord to ensure full transparency during this process before the Space tomorrow. Rest assured, this is not the end of The Working Dead and Work Courses. Despite this utterly tragic news, Sean knew better than any one that the future has never looked brighter for our ecosystem.
It will be a challenging time as we mourn the loss of such a great man, but in his name, we will strive towards that better future.
The entire Cardano ecosystem and Cryptocurrency Industry lost a genuinely amazing soul who would have revolutionized the space so much more than he already had. Rest in Peace Sean, we thank you for everything you have done and for the amazing human being you were.
The world isn't the same without your presence. But the world has changed for the better because of the legacy you leave behind. ❤️ Thank you my friend, for everything you did for this project. For this community. For this team. And for me.
With love,
