We can do both, adding some additional upper tax brackets and clamping down on tax evasion can go hand in hand with other reforms.

Two things can be true simultaneously. Neither function works without the other.

No it doesn't.

The thing is you don't know that it's got actual future usefulness. You might think or hypothesize that it does, but for various reasons it may turn out to be a dead-end. Almost ev…

Instant turn-off, couldn't finish it. The moment I sense this style, now, I have to close the tab

Huh? The bot can communicate with me freely as it sees fit. A "conversation" in telegram parlance is not time-limited, it's ongoing once established, so no it's not only inbound. I…

I would love mailing lists to be a thing again, but the experience of using email is just so bad for me. The sheer amount of unsubscribing I have to do to make it usable - not even…
