Too anti-Trump for me to get past paragraph 3. For me, Trump was underrated as a president until covid. Now he's overrated, and that's saying something.
IMVHO, a couple of things are straining this country: 1. fiat money 2. a racial integration more difficult than what we achieved before (integration of European whites) 3. social media 4. deindustrialization (and the job loss that came with it)
1. genuinely don't know 2. depends. more diverse inflow but also lot of progress since segregation etc. 3. not as impactful as people think 4. for sure + 5. flawed immigration policy (thinks meritocratic but not) 6. anti-entrepreneurship tax/welfare system (cont.)
re 6: Lot's of USA taxes or quasi taxes are ~ flat rate (health care, property taxes). Makes it hard for people to take unpaid time off IMO because you have large constant costs.
I wouldn’t call property taxes flat rate. Health insurance sort of us. We don’t have VAT. I don’t see what people being able to take unpaid time off has to do with our country’s wellbeing.
bad phrasing all over. let me try again. there are taxes you pay on purchase (VAT)/income, and those you always pay (property/healthcare here). i think the second type makes it hard for ppl not to have a stable income which is anti-entrepreneurship.
You can live in a smaller house or in Texas which has high prop taxes but low property values. As for healthcare, if I weren’t mandated to pay health insurance, my spend would be <5% of what it has been. People will attack me for saying this but healthcare in USA is part of the
Problem. The other big part is people’s diets and lifestyles. Yeah obviously you can’t afford healthcare when you’re obese and diabetic.
Sure but then you lose other things. My point is property taxes instead of income/VAT - all other things being equal - less experimentation friendly (in TX or NY). Yeah mandated private healthcare is anti-entrepreneur i think we agree on that.
