  • The point of life is to enjoy it

    You seemingly made the choice to make your life less stressful for about the same compensation as you got before for a stressful job.

    I don't think you need to be particularly smart to understand that's a pretty great trade off. Just from what you've written here, I completely understand your reasoning and it makes complete sense to me.

    Your colleagues are giving crabs in a bucket energy. You never agreed to work harder than you need to, you don't owe it to anyone.

  • And those assets ultimately are tied to something physical.

    We're talking about the ultra rich, not just your average lucky rich guy earning a big paycheck

    If hypothetical tax fleeing rich guy has £5bn invested in some American company and they are running from a tax on that asset, what do they do? They have to sell off the asset to someone who wants it (good) or they still face the tax (especially in America where uncle Sam will follow you to the end of the earth to get your tax bill).

    Imagine they manage that and don't make too much of a loss doing so (which is already not realistic, but anyway). Now what do they do with that? Keeping cash as cash is basically flushing money down the drain, so they need to quickly reinvest it in something roughly as financially performant as what it was in before. Problem is if they are a rational investor, their money was already in the best place so wherever it goes next basically has to be a compromise.

    The ultra rich are a different breed to what you're thinking of, even their market investments are big enough it's generally pretty hard to move them between borders for the purposes of avoiding tax

  • Oh who's that guy is he the CEO of netflix?

    Lemme click into the article to find out

    Edit:

    Insiders says that Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos spoke with the President in the last couple of weeks in a confab that lasted about two hours.

    Well how about that

    Frankly any Ellison L is a W for humanity, so I guess I'll take this particular monkey paw curl

  • It's funny that people keep forgetting wealth is tied to assets

    Most valuable assets can't really move

    The rich typically live near their assets so they can keep a finger on the politics around them

    Tax those assets and if they want to dodge the tax, they have to give up the asset we want anyway

    They.

    Can't.

    Just.

    Run.

  • Pretty good, probably one of the best cities on the planet for being able to do anything that pops into your mind (as long as you've got the spending money ofc)

    Still got the same problem it's always had where you kinda need to commit to a plan for a given evening. If you suddenly decide you want to head somewhere else, that might take half your evening out

    I live up north these days, but still go to London every month or so

  • A dark pattern they've started doing from their Android app

    The same place used to copy the original URL to the clipboard for around a decade, recently it changed to doing this bullshit in the past year or so

  • I can think of a load of reasons you might want the smart fridge of your imagination where you're never at the shop again wondering how much cheese you've got left or stuck wondering what recipes you can make out of what you've got

    The reality seems to have ended up being a tablet you can't move or really use for much beyond an ad supported whiteboard you don't need pens for
