you won't be wasting your time listening to this song. but the cops will be wasting their time trying to prosecute you for listening to autumn music. it's September, it's legal now, and you can't do shit www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3Yt...

ok but shut the fuck up about summer for a second because it's fall and we're embracing it 110% with some classic autumn jazz. cops may want to shoot us for listening to this. too bad! they legally can't, because it's fall www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B1o...
Business Decision Pikachu (@businesspikachu.bsky.social)
It's September. You know what that means. You can legally listen to autumn music and the cops can't do shit about it! Here's a Studio Ghibli inspired tune with autumny, bluesy tunes called "summer's day". It reminds us of the summer gone by and cops can't do shit www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNZA...

And if you make a tax claim in the media, the media can *easily* check, and that's just been completely key. We've had dozens, if not hundreds, of fake sob stories about "I have to minecraft myself bc of the wealth tax", and it always turns out they can easily pay or that they don't even pay the tax
Business Decision Pikachu (@businesspikachu.bsky.social) reply parent
It can feel a bit invasive to have open tax lists. Anyone can, in theory, see how much anyone else has paid in taxes. But you have to go through some hoops to check someone, and they will know that you checked.
Business Decision Pikachu (@businesspikachu.bsky.social)
Norway has open tax lists, and thank god that we do, because it has uncovered so many fraud stories about the wealth tax this election cycle

Honestly I don't think it's smart to have a system where the courts bails out the government by overruling their stupidity. Good short term, but long term just gives Trump someone to blame. The courts should have convicted Trump for his sixteen million different crimes though.

5% global wealth tax on all wealth anyone owns above a billion dollars. +5% for every billion. "uhh what about my dumb rich guy status" status is relative, so stfu. but just to be nice you get a "I paid a big tax" NFT you can show off for every 5% increment. Good job!

But there are left-leaning themes too, like the people of Gotham standing up against Joker, proving Joker's nihilism wrong. And Dent is the prototypical liberal hero lawyer who wields the law against bad guys. It cuts both ways!
Business Decision Pikachu (@businesspikachu.bsky.social) reply parent
That aside, my read is Nolan is a typical American lib. And an integral part of that is being weirdly, almost unconsciously right wing at times? I think you can argue both ways with Dark Knight. There are arguably even fascist themes, like lying to protect the idealized image of Dent
Business Decision Pikachu (@businesspikachu.bsky.social) reply parent
This is a quote from Nolan about Dark Knight rises "I think you have to go out of your way to look at the film and attribute to it right wing characteristics. If anything, it's specifically left wing"

Nazis aren't doing that out of the goodness of their heart. They're doing it because it works. I think she oversells it with the last sentence, but other than that completely agree.
Business Decision Pikachu (@businesspikachu.bsky.social) reply parent
Isn't that a relatively straightforward point? Nazis successfully radicalize people by offering a promise of community to just about anyone. The left can also reach more people by speaking to their self-interest in various ways. Whether to their economic needs, or to their need for belonging.
