Maybe it would be a good thing if taxing the rich got them to work less. Get out of the office where you're surrounded by other rich people and all these nice amenities. Get out in the real world and see how normal people live. Experience the crumbling infrastructure.

A great passive aggressive thing to do when engaged in a customer service battle with a big enshittified company is to refer to your notes and say "And here in Exhibit A -- That's just my numbering system -- we have..."

Do you ever have a gadget last longer than you expected so you feel like you owe the company more money? For me it's my Jabra Solemate portable Bluetooth speaker. Going strong for over a decade. I've bought countless headphones in that time, but it's the only portable Bluetooth speaker I've had.

Cocktail recipe: Combine 6 parts gin with 1 part dry vermouth in the glass. Do not shake or stir. Garnish with pickled onion. It's called a William Gibson. The cocktail's here, it's just not evenly distributed.

I hear this argument that even if you tax the rich at 100% and assume they don't leave, that's still not enough to pay for all these social programs. But what about the second order effects that come from the fact that they can no longer afford to buy all the politicians?
