I don't think MA has a wealth tax. ChatGPT: "No—as of December 26, 2025, no U.S. state has an ongoing, broad-based “wealth tax” that annually taxes individuals’ net worth (assets minus debts) across a wide range of assets."

I can't "quote post" the original but I don't think the non-MAGA half of America has undergone "moral collapse". Quite the opposite.

I need to #simplify it so that even I can understand it

ChatGPT: "A federal officer/employee who “embezzles or wrongfully converts to his own use” property of another that comes under their control through their official position can be prosecuted under 18 U.S.C. § 654."

I don't care if we "scare off" some libertarian #Billioinaires I am more interested in #Fairness what sort of wealth tax would we come up with in the "Original Position" or "OP" for the "cognoscente"

I would like to see AI used as an assistant for #Tax collection is that #Good or "bad"?

But I would like to "test the waters" with a wealth tax

Let's get #real we already have this significant income tax on hi earners which of course is #Good

Lots of these "democratic socialists" want this ginormous wealth tax and I'm like let's start #Modestly and see how it goes That makes cents for the "first iteration"

I am in favor of a Cali Wealth tax but I would start #Modestly and then "ratchet it up" over time, "fine-tune" it if you will

I am having trouble with a very basic concept and #Both ChatGPT and Gemini are demonstrating infinite patience with me as I ask the same question (rephrased) over and over and over again. I am truly #appreciative

I think corrupt bullying is a better descriptor for Pedo-Don and the Trumper Pro-Pedophile Party than "fascism"

Katie "gets it"

I just stated a #Fact I'm sorry if it "offends" you

Just #Imagine if you will that your 2yo is #learning #Python the possibilities are #literally limitless

haha that's totally adorbs

In psychology this is termed compensation

Anne asks a good #Question cc @nytimes.com

If its free that put up ads. If you are #paying for pro like me then you don't want ads it is as #simple as that #Monetization

My guess is that these environmental protections are popular among Independent voters

The person filming the "ice" agents stealing the family groceries is doing God's work.

This is illegal, and "ice" agents should be punished for stealing food from the family.

I am interested in communicating easily and efficiently with non-MAGA folx all over the World.

The two problems that must be solved before we have a #Legit "Universal Translator" is robust speech recognition in noisy environments and reduced (little to minimal) latency. But the technology is slowly but surely advancing.

I get the criticism, the #critique if you will, that this is all just "paper money", numbers on a piece of paper if you will, but it would be nice if the lower income and middle class had this "paper money"

It may take too long, it may be too late, it may be haphazard and a "roller coaster ride" leaving pain and suffering in its wake but utlimately the market #corrects itself. That's my version of the "Efficient" Market Hypothesis"

Investors are growing wary of an "AI bubble"

A #correction is defined as a fall of 10-20% from a recent hi

No.

Well-said by the greatest mathematician of this generation

"I doubt that anything resembling genuine "artificial general intelligence" is within reach of current #AI tools. However, I think a weaker, but still quite valuable, type of "artificial general cleverness" is becoming a reality in various ways." ~ Terence Tao

I am very much opposed to college republicans, groypers if you will, inviting the author of a racist book to give talks on college campuses but what can you do

Instead of "shouting down" Murray you can just state the #Fact that Bell Curve is a very racist book.

Bell Curve is a very racist book.

Garbage in , garbage out It is as #simple as that

This is a great graphic from @sashagusevposts.bsky.social over on "X"

Corruption not "fascism" is the danger to our Democracy

It is interesting that this EV manufacturer is branching out into smartphones

Rawls summarized his Theory of Justice as "Justice as Fairness" It is as #simple as that

Beautiful remembrance of Rob Reiner from Martin Scorcese

Trump invoking Insurrection Act will be grossly illegal and unconstitutional which has not stopped him before and which has not stopped the 6 right-wing "justices" on supreme court from allowing him to get away with his illegal and unconstitutional actions But it will also be tremendously unpopular
