Where? I'm not a fan of her, but Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax proposal is just a way to capture some more revenue (to do the things I mentioned) on a more progressive basis. There aren't really any claims here about fixing inequality.
Take another shower. Taxes aren't used to fix inequality. They're used to fund infrastructure and services that we all need. They're also used sometimes to redistribute income, but the idea isn't to solve inequality. The idea is to get some income, in one form or another, to people who cannot or should not work, like the sick, children, the elderly, and anyone else excluded from the workforce. This non-working population needs income as much as the working population does and it doesn't make sense to force them to get it in inefficient and harmful ways. Taxation to solve inequality is a myth that isn't happening.
Well, I'd definitely get the lawyers and CPAs to make sure that bag is secure and protect my family's privacy as much as possible. After that...

I remember when I was trying to take this photo the spider jumped on the lens and I might have screamed.

No. Organ "donation" after death should be compulsory. For living donors there should be a publicly funded bounty system where you either take the money or not. Donors and recipients don't get to be picky.

Yes. ;)
We should always be suspicious when someone starts both-sides'ing Nazis and Communists. Only one side was killing Nazis, after all.
Is this something you really want to "both sides"? Only one side kills Nazis.
It was just easier to get Pixelfed up and running compared to Lemmy. I'm using Yunohost, which has applications for both, but the one for Lemmy isn't working properly (uploading images is broken, for example). In order to install a fully functional version, I have have to go through this whole process of setting up Docker, which I haven't figured out yet. The Yunohost application for Pixelfed almost just works. I had to do some klugey stuff, but nothing major. I'll get Lemmy running eventually, but this was just a small win for me.
How do you subscribe or follow a lemmy community from Mastodon?
I don't belong to lemmy.ml, but I'll chime in anyway. I'm somewhere between a communist and an anarchist, which I think aligns well with my material interests as a worker. The communist in me believes that we need a dictatorship of the proletariat in order to subdue the bourgeoisie. The anarchist in me believes that workers need to organize themselves into strong labor unions to help the revolution along and then keep the subsequent worker state in check thereafter.
I'm running a Pixelfed instance off of an old PC in my house. Eventually I 'd like to set up a personal Lemmy instance as well.
