  • The bulk of my salary depends on the company I work in and my boss’ decisions

    I have a much higher ability and chance to change that, compared to changing the tax system.

    Taxes are just a fraction of my salary, and they supposedly also cover for my future pension. Meanwhile, most of my taxes pays for state jobs for essential services, such as schools and healthcare. Others pay for debt interests, for money that was used to invest in the country or pay said services.

    Sure, a part of it is bad management and ill intentions, but that’s such a small portion of my salary. Depending where you live, you might be paying some vere generous retirement plans, but most of the retirement money goes to old people who would otherwise require help from their family.

    So no, I don’t really care about my taxes. If I feel I don’t have enough money, there are other things I can do than complaining about them



  • When Picard updates the 21th century scientist on what changed after the warp drive, in First Contact. That was the scene that convinced me to start watching star trek, thanks to a YouTube video about post-scarcity economy

    From the series, some scenes from Measure of a Man would be an easy choice, but I actually probably prefer when Troi helps, again, the woman from the past find her family tree on the computer, don’t remember the episode name

    Data/Sherlok sceses when the highly intelligent villain becomes sentient are also cool
