New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Grifters gonna grift. At every single opportunity, one party in our country will always take public funds and give it to private entities that they prefer. Every opportunity they will take from the public purse. Yet they complain about handouts.
About 30 states have adopted programs that allow families to spend public money on private school tuition. But our investigation found that many states have little interest in overseeing private schools. Join us Oct. 6 for a virtual discussion. RSVP: events.propublica.org/wild-west-sc...

Ken Paxton: The only thing that really saves us is that the Supreme Court came along and allowed Super PACs. Otherwise... I would be sitting here and never have a chance...

Hey @anthropic.com I can think of a great way to slow down #AI development like you want. Hold all AI companies criminally liable for everything their agents do. Funny how if that was already the case you wouldn't be releasing a $2 trillion IPO prospectus right now.
