You're replying to the CEO of PeerDB. We recognize CDC is only one tool in the integration toolbox, which is why we're prioritizing this

Pushing for flat tax, but no mention of Andorra or Isle of Man. Guess those aren't considered growth centers to support their argument

Well they clearly haven't flat tax deregulated enough! /s

Its not flat enough

The only line flat enough for industry to not come back asking for more cuts will be the flat strike through line on any taxes that they pay.

I would like to introduce a concept - negative taxation - you (the taxpayer) pay us a royalty for gracing you with our presence.

you're describing subsidies

I think we can presume they know that and are just continuing the fun slightly snarky framing. There are also minor differences in implementation between negative taxes (credits beyond obligations which can happen in the US though they're very, very rare) and subsidies.

Right. I was able to write custom wasm generation for browsers just going off the binary encoding spec. Started with using wasm as target IL for a Befunge JIT

Seems like it, & each rank is 30x more energy than the last[1]

Trudeau got a lot of hate, but won next election. But your point stands, covid was turning point in Trudeau's popularity, Liberal's kept power between Trudeau stepping down more gracefully than Biden, Carney being a very centralist candidate (it's a compliment when your opposition is down to accusing you of stealing their policy ideas), & Trump's recent victory giving many the ick towards Poilievre

There's a huge vegan market segment but meat industry still plods along


Roughly 2% of the US is vegan. About 5 million people.

This would be why the meat industry “plods along” century after century. For every vegan there are 49 people who eat meat, and probably 35 people who feed their pets meat.

There is actually a huge market for animal meat and it is the vegan industry that plods along.

In fact, what even _is_ the vegan industry? Or do you mean it’s basically marketing hype for companies that combine plants in various ways to sell as food?


Yes. Most people don't care enough to change their behavior. Others think about it & decide it isn't for them

Industry is plant based food, certification orgs, vegan charities, consulting, books (both recipes & lifestyle advocacy), content creation, ...


at least it's possible to be a vegan. imagine trying to be a smartphone vegan. I hope we're not headed there with this abominable technology. I hate using it and don't want to be forced
