@novaramedia @jameshh__ Any objection to almond milk?

@AuthorTease @DougAMacgregor I think under EU law if they're granted the right to stay in an EU country then they can legally cross EU country borders. So it's probably precautionary until they know what's going on.

@MerrynSW From a dude that spends half his time telling everyone the EU isn't truly democratic, is financially illiterate and is severely flawed in it's operation.Way to sell it, I mean we can do that ourselves.

@GreatBritishTT Not sure most European countries have council tax though, so maybe that should be factored in?

@PeterMcCormack @AaronBastani Welk we definitely have a spend problem

@scepticalists @DanNeidle I've no doubt there's tax evasion going on with small business or all business. I'm just saying the formula for calculating the tax gap is somewhat lacking and the smaller the sample set used (and historically is getting smaller), the greater the tax gap.

[Pessimum @needledrag]

@DanNeidle @scepticalists Maybe it's because small businesses aren't making the kind of money the tax gap claims?

Great substack post outlining why here in the UK, we're so fucked

@DanNeidle A sample size of less than 0.1%, apply old IRS figures for the non detection multiplier, then scale that up to reach an estimate? On top of that smaller sample sizes, generate larger tax gaps. And the sample sizes seem to trend downwards. So their stats are getting worse?

@HodlMagoo UK done the same thing as Canada, youth unemployment at its highest level in decades

[Pessimum @needledrag]

@PeterMcCormack 125k per person? Nah, this probably includes gov costs of employing people to deal with it, and it probably is the larger portion of it....

@HodlMagoo @SpaceX These options are too close for fat thumbs!

@AdamPollock @GreatBritishTT Could part of this not be people saving for a house deposit and not wanting to risk that cash in the markets?

@Heccles94 With this reasoning, if shop doesn't make a profit, they shouldn't get paid, but partake in any debt the shop accrues? I think it's called self employment.

The Bank of England has just sold £675 million of its UK government bond holdings. The worst sale was of the 2061 Gilt which it started buying at 100 and this afternoon sold at £23.41. #QE #QT

As you go to work today and settle into the week, please study the form below. You will soon need to fill this out EVERY year and tell the government what you own and then allow them to tell you how much its worth.

That is the framework that is enabled by the Trojan Horse "Billionaire Tax" that is trying to get passed.

Give them credit: they cleverly use Billionaires as the hook, but build in the language and the framework that will allow the Legislature to simply extend the tax to everyone and make it yearly.

And this is where the form below comes in...

In this case, ask yourself, will it be you or the Billionaires that will be able to fill this out properly and avoid penalties.

As much as Billionaires can be pushed to do more for society, we all know that they have the infrastructure to manage these kinds of disclosures...middle class Californians do not and they will be the ones that get penalized in the end.
