I wouldn't put toilet paper up my nose - I don't trust other toilet users to not touch the toilet roll and I don't trust the room to not have fecal particles from lidless flushing on things. I don't want tu put someone else's poo up my nose.

Many of the references are 404, and the key papers according to the article are by completely different authors than claimed with different titles than claimed, and nothing to do with "information thermodynamics". I suspect that this is AI generated nonsense.

I know Trump massively overstated his wealth, but fining him $5000 is like fining me £10. He won't even notice it's gone at the end of the month. $5,000, 000 or prison time would be a meaningful punishment.

OK, yes, I think you're right.

[–] david@feddit.uk 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Of course, but the far right don't care about facts, they just care about racism.

Oh, I thought it was the CEO's online reputation and the fact the people are hearing more and more that their after sales service is shit, eg being charged £17000 for a new motor which is apparently the driver's fault for driving it in the rain. In Scotland.

Apparently the problem has been known for some time:

Well, spirit of something, but whatever it is it isn't 'holy'.

They'll notice that they benefit from taxation so they'll be happier with a higher tax economy and see that tax cuts hurt them more than help them.

That's definitely also true, but republicans genuinely want everyone to hate taxation as well, so their interests very much align with the companies that want to fleece you.

Lots of countries have pay as you earn schemes where your income tax is deducted but your employer and sent to the government and you don't have to even lift a finger, likewise the price on the item at the shop, by law, includes tax and it's completely seamless for you. Republicans will never like such schemes because they want taxation to be hated by all so that they'll go along with tax cuts that primarily benefit such folks.

If government was done well, people might be happy paying their taxes, and that's the last thing republicans want.
