I really enjoy your snarky tone, but can you explain how any consumption tax regardless of labeling are not regressive when poor people consume a lot more of their income than people with people with higher incomes? Sure you can mitigate this by only taxing x products or offering rebates to poor folk. But it just seems like it is inherent to the system.

It seems to me that progressive income taxes, direct taxes on profits of corporations, wealth taxes, and the like are much better targeted and don’t harm the poorest among us. But I’m from a “ridiculous country” so what do I know?

Sales taxes are regressive. The poorest people pay way more of their income to buy things at stores. Therefore they are getting taxed a lot more than someone who saves money because they have bigger incomes

But Sam Altman called it a “reasoning model.” Would he lie?!

You could keep it on your phone, but TOPT codes are just a shared secrets that you can store in multiple authenticators.

It wouldn’t matter if the whole tribe only got internet to goon. Good for them. They can do what they want

They are copying the famously profitable Twitter to help save their extremely unprofitable business. Sam Altman is just brilliant.
