@SarasvuoJari Kyllä. Kesä alkoi Suvivirrestä ja kahleet irtosivat.

@SaPakarinen @Romakka oikeudenmukainen maksimi marginaalivero olisi 40%. Työn tehneelle pitää aina jäädä selvästi enemmän kuin pohjattoman ahneelle valtiolle.
Suomessa sairaasta pohditaan kuinka kerätä maksimi verotulot kun pitäisi kysyä kuinka pyörittää julkiset palvelut mahdollisimman tehokkaasti

Mainio teksti!

"Kapitalismi palkitsee erityisesti niitä yrittäjiä, jotka kykenevät muuntamaan ideat tuloksiksi, eikä niitä, jotka keksivät omaperäisiä tapoja kritisoida näitä tuloksia jälkikäteen."

Marc Andreessen on the 5 personality traits of an innovator

“When you’re talking about real innovators—people who actually do really creative, breakthrough work—I think you’re talking about a couple things:”

1. Very high in trait openness. “Just flat-out open to new ideas… And the nature of trait openness means you’re not just open to new ideas in one category—you’re open to many different kinds of new ideas… But of course, just being open is not sufficient because if you’re just open, you could just be curious and explore and spend your entire life reading, talking to people, but never actually create something.”

2. High level of conscientiousness. “You need somebody who’s really willing to apply themselves—typically over a period of many years to accomplish something great… For most of these people, it’s years and years of applied effort. You need somebody with an extreme willingness to basically defer gratification… Of course, this is why there aren’t many of these people—there aren’t many people who are high in openness and high in conscientiousness because to a certain extent, they’re opposed traits.”

3. High in disagreeableness. “If they’re not ornery, they’ll be talked out of their ideas… Because the reaction most people have to new ideas is ‘Oh, that’s dumb.’ So, somebody who’s too agreeable will be easily dissuaded to not pull on the thread anymore.”

4. High IQ. “They just need to be really smart because it’s hard to innovate in any category if you can’t synthesize large amounts of information quickly.”

5. Relatively low neuroticism. “If they’re too neurotic, they probably can’t handle the stress.”

Perintöveron korvaaminen luovutusvoittoverolla tarkoittaa samaa lahjaverolle. Tällöin moni eläkeikäinen lahjoittaisi elinikänään omaisuutta lapsilleen. Pankkitileillä makaavia varoja ohjautuisi nuorten asunnon hankintaan, yrittämiseen, kotimaiseen kulutukseen, talouskasvuunkin.

[Mikael Jungner @MikaelJungner]

Tätä ei kai saa sanoa ääneen mutta alle 3000/kk tienaavan palkkavero on erittäin alhainen.

Kun 3 miljoonaa suomalaista maksaa vain vähän veroja ei ole ihme että valtion talous on huonossa kunnossa.

Puolueet ei tuohon puutu koska nuo veron välttäjät ovat äänestäjien enemmistö 😊

Peter Thiel: “Money is overrated”

“We think of money as the answer to all our problems… what’s more important is actually having ideas”

“You have negative interest rates in Europe. People want money so badly, and they have so few ideas, they’re willing to keep it in a checking account that earns negative interest rates.”

“They lose a little money every year, but that’s preferable to having concrete ideas.”

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

You can identify all the greatest countries in the world by asking a simple question:

"Is it cool to be rich there?"

Countries that celebrate success and still have strong safety nets: Singapore, Denmark and Switzerland.

Every country that has gotten the answer to this question wrong has become economically irrelevant and a vassal state of another.

We should properly take care of everyone, but you need resources and leverage that only come in success. Many countries in Europe have become examples of not getting this right.

Ten years ago I wrote an essay explaining the source of America's increasing polarization. If you want to understand how we got from the unity (and uniformity) of the mid 20th century to the way things are now, this is what happened: https://t.co/Luw9oajZyu

My best friend died almost a decade ago from a heart attack. He was running on the treadmill while we were all on vacation together. After this horrific accident, I started to take my cardiovascular health seriously and began seeing Dr. Karlsberg - who is probably the best Cardiologist in America.

Every few years I get a CCTA. I started to take a statin as well as some Omega-3s and a baby aspirin. So far, so good - my cholesterol is in check and I have 0 calcium although my particle size isn't great.

Here is an excellent summary from Dr Karlsberg of what we can do to eradicate coronary artery disease.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Trump, Vance & others either have forgotten or never knew that Zelensky signed a ceasefire agreement with Putin in 2019. Three years later, Putin launched his full-scale invasion. So, signing another ceasefire with no security guarantees feels like suicide for Ukrainians.
