There's no telling how much it would be worth since there's no active market for it, the NFT has been owned by the same wallet since its purchase in 2021 and has not been transferred or resold. That wallet currently has minimal value in Ethereum or tokens, and around 2k different NFTs, most of which don't seem to be very valuable. They are still active, with a transaction from a month ago moving 264k in stablecoins to a crypto exchange.

I thought it was the electrons that orbited

If you are saying they will privatize elections somehow as a loophole around following the constitution, I am skeptical

?

19th Amendment:

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Only about a century old. Let's go for another 100.

IMO the most valid argument is that there are way more people making a middling income than people making a high income, so any reduction in taxes for those people would need a proportionally much larger increase in the upper brackets to maintain the same level of tax revenue, if it's possible to make the numbers work at all depending on how much of a tax break you want to give. The minimum amount to be taxed is set based on where the tail end of the bell curve is, the number of people who are poor enough not to be taxed is small.

Of course there's also the fact that the richest people don't get their money from having a job at all, it's all in investments, so messing with income tax rates doesn't even affect them.

But I think the point is, the OP meme is wrong to try painting this as some kind of society-wide psychological pathology, when it's rather business people coming up with simple reliable formulas to make money. The space of possible products people could want is large, and this choice isn't only about what people want, but what will get attention. People will readily pay attention to and discuss with others something they already have a connection to in a way they wouldn't with some new thing, even if they would rather have something new.

“What I said is this, let’s be frank, I said encourage the criminal to fight, encourage them to draw their guns. That was my instruction, encourage them to fight, and if they fight, then kill them so my problem in my city is done,” he said

Earlier this month, a separate parliamentary inquiry heard evidence from a former police colonel who said officers could earn between 20,000 pesos (£265) and 1m pesos (£13,200) per killing during the drugs crackdowns, depending upon the target. Rewards were given only for killings, not arrests, she said

Duterte denied authorising police to kill suspects, saying he had never ordered his national police chiefs to carry out extrajudicial killings.

What a ridiculously flimsy way to deny responsibility

Nice, how do we make it happen?

The biggest reason that is often overlooked is wealth inequality. The rich keep accumulating wealth, and real estate is a scarce form of wealth that holds value, produces a return, and can be accumulated. It probably accelerated recently because of the large amount of money that was dumped into the system around covid; that was yet another opportunity for the wealthy to grab a bigger share of the pie.

If things keep going this way, we're going to get into a situation where regular people don't own houses anymore, and rent is a much larger percentage of your income.
