I honestly think he's still team Trump and always was, he just dropped the mask and is now trying desperately to put it back on to save his stock.

Luxury! How about getting a piece of a kernel shell stuck between a tooth and the gum, and taking three days to get it out?

Not sure Dr. Oz would have been any better, though...

Sure, but that's not what's going to happen as a side effect of taxing unrealized gains, like what was discussed in this thread until now. A gradual transfer of ownership to the workers would have to be nudged in some other way.

In competitive industries (read: tech) this does happen to some extent in the form of stock being part of the compensation, but that's not going to happen organically for every employment situation.

Most countries don't pay their farm workers below local minimum wage, and yet somehow they produce food.

It is often done by foreign workers, though. Just above board, above or at minimum wage, which goes a lot further in their home countries.

As far as I know only the primary uses ranked choice, not the general election?

Give up control to whom? Some megacorp with infinite money would just buy a majority stake (often referred to as a hostile takeover) and wind up owning everything to an even larger extent than today.

Running copper between different buildings like that is risky, because if they have different ground potential you could get current traveling through the cable and zapping the equipment. A lot of people use fiber for those runs for that reason.

If you want to solve your issue as cheaply as possible while eliminating the aforementioned risk, move AP2 to where AP1 is and replace AP2 with a PoE-powered access point. This will ensure all devices are powered from the same house, and you get rid of the failing device.

I'm not afraid of voicing my opinion, but what's the point? Everyone is firmly in their trenches, so at best you get approving nods, at worst you get an argument which is equal parts futile and frustrating.

The only times I mention it is when my opinion is across the grain. For example, whether to require voter ID is a hot topic, and in my opinion it's being discussed all wrong. Why is no one pointing out that everyone should be able to get a proper ID? That's the real problem we should solve. So much stuff other than voting requires ID, so life must suck if you don't have one. Let's fix that!

The issue with realizing the gains is that you have to relinquish control of your company bit by bit. However, you could have the company (which you likely control) give out dividends, or you could use the stock as collateral for a loan. Or just pay yourself a bigger salary.

The state is a pretty big employer, so that portion might be held back for a while. That would still have to be paid by the end of the year, though.

Somehow property taxes are okay, though, even though we haven't realized the gains!
