Not the previous poster, but you’re of correct of course. The issue is that when multi-billionaires can get loans at nearly 0% because if their ridiculous “unrealized” wealth and then claim “nope, no income here” despite their “unrealized” wealth increasing significantly, there is clearly a big problem and needs a solutions.

I am sure there could be some nuance used in any restrictions against said loans or tax against said weath. Someone before used a “$50 million” value as a good starting point, and at first glance that seems reasonable. Hell, you could easily make that number ten times higher and still cover most of the worst offenders. As long as there is an upper ceiling that stops these wanna be wealth hoarding dragons it’s a good start.

I mean, I did the same, but I’ve tried a few now from reputable brands and they keep timing out or just not working properly until I reboot.

It was an HP Elitebook with 64GB of ram and 1TB nvme drive for $800 (it had stacked discounts at the time). The price then shot up a month later to twice that, so I can’t really regret it based on the current ram price insanity. Still, my coworker just got a framework a few months ago and I can’t help feeling jealous. I am mostly annoyed by the lack of built in ethernet port, fuck wifi.

I wanted a Framework when I was pricing out a new work laptop, but at the time it was going to be months before they’d have what I wanted ready for shipping and I couldn’t wait that long. I ended up getting a crazy good deal on a laptop with 64GB of ram. That being said, I still wish I had a Framework compared to this thing.

Your whole foods experiences are way cooler than mine. When I go it’s usually some combinations of very wealthy women and “all natural” people looking for supposed super foods. I only go because they are the only place around that has a good selection of items for some food allergies/sensitivities that people in my home have.

It wasn’t originally an Amazon company, they got bought out many years ago.

The percentage of wackos is Whole Foods is definitely higher than average. I try to avoid that place unless I need something highly specific that I can’t find elsewhere.
