I'm all for a fairer, simpler tax system with no loopholes, but how do you tax an intangible asset?
Shares have no intrinsic value until they are sold, at which point they are taxed already.
Also - where will the money come from to buy the shares so the billionaire can pay the taxes?

Except biomass is *renewable*. Coal isn't.

Thankfully, I've not been subject to that level of derision. At least not now, because I've learned how to navigate the world. When I was younger, I was teased and bullied for being "odd". I now know why. A big weight has lifted off my shoulders. I now don't waste my time with bigots. Self diagnosed

Last year, I wrote a program to clean up and decode the old audio tapes I have for my Ohio Scientific Instruments C1P. I hope to have a "library" that can load almost instantly from FLASH memory. 😊
Details in ALT text.
Two signal traces on the left and text on the right. The top trace is the output of a tape player that was used to record computer program bit streams in the 1980s. The bottom trace is a cleaned and normalised signal which is then stored digitally on a modern computer. The text on the right is an example of result of decoding the bit stream signals, and represents the original program recorded on the tape machine.

I'm confused ... how do they get the finished product out of the factory?!?!
Or is that factory just making parts?

As someone living in the UK with the consequences of Brexit, I concur with this analysis.
United we win, divided we fall.
Another data point: Look at what Putin has managed to do to NATO by persuading US citizens to vote for Trump.
Fix issues from within an alliance.
You'll never do it from outside.
