Oh come on what is this argument, other than a gross generalisation?

The THTR-300 served as a prototype high-temperature reactor

This was one prototype reactor, which by the looks of it may have been managed by some incompetent people. Concluding from this that nuclear power is inherently unsafe, is like saying air travel is unsafe, because the 737 MAX fell out of the sky a few times.

Also don't forget that the proposed wealth tax would essentially be nullified by interest on the remaining wealth in a couple of years. So this isn't confiscatory in any meaningful way, it just slows down the redistribution by a couple of years.

And don't think that 120% will grant you a raise either! Inflation will eat 5% of your paycheck each year!

The way the law is being enforced now, this should be an entirely legitimate argument. A snowball's chance in hell though that it holds up without a legal team like OpenAI has.

I think Leavitt is picturing all the propaganda she can spin out of this

Yeah in all the libraries I've been to the standard policy is usually no food, no drinks except water. Maybe it's the soda lobby which wouldn't tolerate discrimination between water and soda?

The problem there is that getting him to pay would set an example. Billionaires can't be seen to be coerced by the state into doing anything. That would show they are not untouchable, and would probably destroy the apathy from the general public which keeps them in power.
