This is all ITV America. ITV is a British media company that first aired the show in the UK. The entire executive committee page contains zero Jewish names (of nine).
The show itself was created by a group of four people (Baker, Cowley, Scarratt, Gould). AFAICT only Gould is Jewish.
Stevenson is bad and wrong about a lot of things. But it is definitely easier to inherit a lot of money than to earn it in the UK, that is just an undeniable fact.
A tax of 0.6% per year can’t just be multiplied by 70 years, because of discounting. The taxes paid assuming a modest 5% discount rate amount to about 11%. And while 60% income tax isn’t real, it is true that you end up paying some 47% if you earned that money as income.
@robbyyy Everyone is making fun of Gary the tard, but he is directionally right about the taxation of labor vs inheritance. In America the first 13m is tax free of inheritance. Not so in income!
I don't think even the most outlandish ASI bears or bulls are truly "ready for ASI." It's unknowable by construction, like a cat trying to forecast Halley's Comet.

the AGI pill is unpleasant but if needed I think most people can handle it.
the ASI pill is another level, too high shock value, they really can't.

@HedgeDirty Working at a bank has always required some level of upstanding character. I remember stories of fca revocations for jumping a turnstile. Her job is a government backed handout, I think they can fire her for stealing public property
@lydialaurenson@NathanpmYoung I guess I think it is so obviously stigmatized that I don’t know anyone who would do it at all, let alone admit to it and continue life unmolested. Is this a common occurrence in your circles?
@JamesSurowiecki Do you actually believe the murder rate going to literal zero had nothing to do with, or was even not primarily caused by, a huge rise in incarceration rates?
