Sure, but that’s not what’s going to happen as a side effect of taxing unrealized gains, like what was discussed in this thread until now. A gradual transfer of ownership to the workers would have to be nudged in some other way.

In competitive industries (read: tech) this does happen to some extent in the form of stock being part of the compensation, but that’s not going to happen organically for every employment situation.

Give up control to whom? Some megacorp with infinite money would just buy a majority stake (often referred to as a hostile takeover) and wind up owning everything to an even larger extent than today.

The issue with realizing the gains is that you have to relinquish control of your company bit by bit. However, you could have the company (which you likely control) give out dividends, or you could use the stock as collateral for a loan. Or just pay yourself a bigger salary.

The state is a pretty big employer, so that portion might be held back for a while. That would still have to be paid by the end of the year, though.

Somehow property taxes are okay, though, even though we haven’t realized the gains!

From https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/24/mayoral-election-first-round-results-cuomo-mamdani/:

In this ranked-choice primary election, Lander cross-endorsed Mamdani as his number-two pick, meaning that many voters who selected Lander are likely to send additional votes to Mamdani in the final tally.

So I’m guessing Cuomo didn’t think round two was going to do him any favors.

Not the most famous by any means, but about 30 years ago I saw an episode of Cheers where Frasier Crane’s ex-wife was trying to win him back, and she supplies her phone number through a singing doll. The doll repeated the number so many times that I still remember it: 555-6792.

If they voted for Netanyahu they asked for it, and I have no sympathy.

I think it might be boiled.

Yeah, if I met you I’d never know! It could be one of thousands others with the same hat!

Isn’t it more human trafficking than deportation if they kidnapped her in international waters and moved her to a different country?

“Was it meant to make you happier? I’m not sure it worked.”

Exactly. Looks a lot like they found the gun near the scene of the crime, and then planted it in his backpack. That makes a lot more sense than him hauling it and an incriminating manifesto with him for several days. If he wanted to do the manifesto thing he’d have left it at the scene of the crime. None of that evidence makes sense.

The court is also going to need to decide if the cops planted the evidence he conveniently carried with him several days later.

I think mine was a couple hundred bucks. People mistake it for something fancy, but it’s still cheap enough that I don’t have to worry about damaging it. Also you can get spare parts for Casios!

I never had to do that, because our computer didn’t have a hard drive. We booted DOS right from the floppy.

I’m an elder Millennial, and I remember when we got old enough to use the 386 machines at school. Before that we were using DOS.

Our first home computer was bought second hand and didn’t even have a hard drive, just two 5.25" floppy drives, and also ran DOS. We’d have kids from the entire neighborhood visit to play games on it, because although it was second hand it was also very rare to have one.

I was 12 when Windows 95 came out. All this stuff looks waay newer than that. I’d say this draws the line for old at the older part of Gen Z. Millennials aren’t even on the scale.

This response is also too vague. You need to at the very least ask what kind of position OP is interviewing for.

I certainly did as a kid in the late 90s and early 2000s. I found dirty magazines before I had access to the Internet, and after I visited both pornsites and outright gore like rotten.com. None of it harmed me in any way.

If anything, the various shock sites we were tricked into seeing, like goatse, tub girl, lemon party and 2 girls 1 cup were worse, but even those weren’t too bad, and I appreciate understanding the cultural references to them.

The real question is whether seeing some porn is actually a problem. I’d argue not, provided there’s also sex ed teaching you that porn does not model healthy sex or relationships.

Dude, most other countries, bar the dictatorships, have more changes happening than the US. Most other countries don’t have two-party systems with filibusters, debt ceilings disconnected from the budget, and whatever else.

Any country implementing parliamentarism, especially those not implementing first past the post, will have a lot less stalemates, because there are multiple other parties to make horse trades with. Do you have experience with any other country’s system of governance?
