Jup. Governments are way too large for their own good, gets involved in way too many private matters and is insanely expensive. We need to drastically downsize the entire thing and have it focussed on their core job again.

No doubt that it does. However, pretending like the world would be a perfect place if those darn corporations would just pay all their taxes is foolish.

Elon Musk is not my enemy. The fact that billionaires got a massive pile of money doesn'ylt affect me in the slightest.

You know what does affect me? Corrupt government officials that embezzle public funds, spend it on stupid projects that only enrich their friends and families. That affects me.

You really think that giving the government access to even more money will help you? Hell no. It's going to end up in the same hands as now, just more of it.

Taxes are a borderline infinite money source, and if you don't have to worry about s source drying up you start wasting it, which is exactly what's happening in many countries now.

You'd probably be surprised and scared if you knew what companies know about you.

I don't quite understand why this is a bad thing. Being documented is an important part of immigration.

We do, or at least I do

in 2023, 92.5 percent of all trains in Switzerland reached their destination on time, compared to only 64 percent for long-distance trains in Germany.

Funfact: In Switzerland, a train is considered too late if it's 2 minutes or more late - in Germany, it's 15

As a big fan of capitalism - go die Boeing. It's not the taxpayers job to bail you out because of stupid decision you made.

There is no harsher punishment than this. It's literally 1/4th of your life gone. Getting out of prison after this time and realizing what you lost and you got nothing - no friends, no family (probably), no relationships - must be soul crushing.

I'd rather die honestly.
