    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Brent Hoberman

    This is like the idea of taxing people based on how many windows they have. I can't remotely imagine that there would be any unintended consequences (goinginto the office to avoid taxes) with negative externalities (more disease cases). Dumb people just say dumb things.https://twitter.com/brenthoberman/status/1326663221198065664 …

    Staff who work from home after pandemic 'should pay more tax' Really interesting idea WFH contributes less to economy-not commuting...& if they are knowledge workers who choose to work from home should contribute to those who have no choice (manual etc) https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/nov/11/staff-who-work-from-home-after-pandemic-should-pay-more-tax?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other …

        "We must cut back on fossil fuel use to save the planet!" Big part of the population stays home and stops driving anywhere. "We must tax those people so they pay their fair share for infrastructure they aren't using!" Methinks they don't really believe the former.

        This, literally, is why Oregon (and sadly some other states, I think CA at one point) keeps flirting with mandatory GPS transponders in cars, to arrive at a miles-driven tax to pay for road maintenance.

        Is this from the Krugman "property destruction is really stimulus" school?

        How many steps away from “not being a consoomer is a crime against the state” is this?

        Pay more tax if you don’t carry a buggy whip in your automobile.

        From August, when U. Minnesota’s CIDRAP director Michael Osterholm and Minneapolis Federal Reserve president Neel Kashkari suggested we expropriate the savings of people still working to pay for another round of lockdowns: https://bit.ly/2YmILhd

        I have gotten some pushback on this read of his proposal, but how else does the government spend money it doesn’t have? If it was another round of helicopter money, there would be no reason to bring up personal savings.
