I don't know, I think a disparity lower than 30-40% between the top income bracket's nominal tax rate and their effective tax rate would be a great baseline.
And if you think Universal Basic Income is the answer, where do think that money is going to come from? From the businesses and the wealthy? The same people who do everything they can to hide their money and avoid paying taxes? Good luck with that.
Wow, it sure sounds like societies which fell hardest for the trickle down meme will have the most changes to make.
Good thing most of the developed western world has a head start in terms of fair, transparent taxation.
It's just interesting to me that people are so interested in moving the goalposts of "obsolescence".

I don't understand how this type of discourse is productive at all. Does the speed of the hardware impede your workflow? Does it have holes that current (and more importantly, FUTURE) products stick into? Can you still receive updates and software for it?
The funniest part is that this type of discussion is being bred in a thread that is literally about apple saying that they aren't repairing older shit anymore.
"Obsolete". "We no longer wish to expend resources on making this work."
Interestingly enough, that's usually how someone decides that their personal hardware is obsolete.
>I use legacy software, hardware, and ports, and transfer my data to another computer to transcode it >hardware in question is not obsolete because I am comfortable gimping my own workflow
wow I must be the only person that likes nice shit (especially when other people know I have it:^]) and doesn't see my decision to buy it as submitting myself to some orwellian scheme to distill me into a chimp.
I love Jill Stein but she's not on the menu.
Why do people say this like it's the easiest thing in the world to overcome the inertia of the bulk of the population who doesn't think twice about third parties?
You guys heard of "Google Inbox"? Or Gmail's native tagging that has been around for years?:^)
Also I hate "cards". I've tried to like Google Now and Android Wear, but anytime I hear "cards" I think "information that I would never open Google Now for in hopes of accidentally finding". Further, I don't think I'd ever open Google Now.
Want to know the weather? Better open google now and hope google thinks I care what the weather is right now.

your entire life is a series of salesmanship. work, partners, friends.
seems like a pretty critical skill to not only be lacking, but also be actively against developing.
good luck.
Emerging market -- aerial photographers now hiring criminals to commit crimes during their shots.
Sweden now cut out of the loop on beautiful aerial videography. 50ft cranes are still a viable option for anyone with $20k to spend.
wow cool, your S5 runs Marshmallow now? easily one of the best mobile OS's of last year.
Your alternative is 2 years of support with a Nexus device or less with a 3rd party Android device. Choose wisely.

You mean "open" in that users, IT, and developers are all allowed to use it? Is someone keeping Linux and macOS sheltered from any of these groups?

Why even use their CPE? If you really care about distancing yourself from your ISP, the last thing I would do is use the CPE that they provide you.
