Why is there still no wealth tax?
The taxation debate is stuck in the groove that tax is a burden and the only thing that matters is to make it as low as possible

The lead up to fascism creates great art — punk and hip hop, coded horror movies, prophetic novels and thrilling plays. Fascism itself, once in power, only produces patriotic kitsch.

The constant deadlines and the cold finally got me. Caught a nasty bug. Spent the last couple of days just sleeping and barely eating.
