I agree with you about that it should only punish those that directly benefit.

The thing is that the wealth that you inherent doesn't have to come from victimizing others. I live in NL, we had a lot of slavery and the VOC became very rich ofof it. But most Dutch people aren't decended from anybody who profitted from the slavery that happend. At the same time a lot of these massive companies from back in the day had a lot of funds go to the government or indirectly to the public in some other way. If the money can be traced back to slavery or whatever victimizing then yes tax it a lot (without the descendants getting into actual financial trouble because of it)

I agree btw, the angelo-saxton way of thinking is why they got to wealthy over the back of others. That's part of the reason the climate for workers is better in western Europe (NL, DE, DK, etc)

Ps. I always wonder what actually happend with the VOC money since if you calculate the value of the money to todays value it would have been one of the biggest companies in the world (top 3 or something). Like we are rich, but not THAT rich.

Ow right, I forgot the US is a corrupt nation and allows bullshit like this.

Then again, it is most likely his personal holding/company which has the loans and stock and he has 100% of the shares in that company which will go bankrupt if his loans ever default(? I think that;s the right word?).

Why would he be in debt though, the depreciation of the goodwill will not cause him to be millions in debt, just that the company would sell for less. There isn't a lot of ground to sue Elon sadly, you can sue Tesla for things like this though and there are probably some other things you can sue either Musk or Tesla, but even if you sue Tesla in the ground Musk wouldn't go into debt from it. Most likely case is that his assets are in a holding company anyway.

The US is a corrupt country and a lot of people are defending it or otherwise funding the corruption. Like why can't we see the annual reports of the companies these billionairs own?

Pretty sure there are more sides, but the system doesn't allow it.

Also people can't choose their ancestor's, so why would they need to be punished? Taxation of the transfer of funds is not an issue in my book, but don't blame somebody cause 5 generations before them or whatever, the ancestor was a dictator.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Haha nice!

Depends on the context and your gender

You thinking that are just two type of voters is disgusting, blame the system that allows for just two parties not the people.

Bob the cat from Runescape? /s

Yeah I know, but it also has a different use case. As far as I know RFC3339 is mostly used for programming while ISO8601 is the standard for international communication and I wish people would use it more. I have processed American invoices in the wrong month because of their date structure. I have no reason to it, but I always write my date ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD)

The omitting of timezones doesn't matter to a vast majority of the world, since most countries only have one time zone so I don't see a reason why that is relevant in most use cases.

ISO is a general standard, it's in the name and the RFC is created for the internet, that is also in the name/description of the RF.

Using 2025-164 can be handy, I actually use the day of the year to check what invoices from previous year are open since those are the invoices that are due 164 days or more.
