We have a collision course set as more spending coming while tax receipts falling

In 2021, the top 5% of earners paid 60% of the income tax paid

how do they mostly earn? Capital Gains, stock options, real estate, dividends, etc

Asset prices crash = no cap gains = no taxes paid

I expect that we are going to see an explosion of “secret AI,” where AI advice is delivered by humans. Why?

We hate to listen to AI. For example, getting feedback from an AI system improved employee performance… until people learned it was from an AI, then performance DROPPED.

The Crown Estate, estimated to be worth over $34.3 billion in assets, will now belong to King Charles III.

But he will not pay inheritance tax.

This is a 40% levy on property valued at more than $377,000 that UK citizens must pay when they inherit property.

The King is exempt.

This is the president of the Federal Reserve in Minneapolis, telling the truth about Central Bank Digital Currencies ...

Unless you want to control, surveil and tax the hell out of your people like China wants to (and Europe apparently). 😨
