Quite terrifying that this appears to be a sincere comment. Do you really believe billionaires pay even near the top marginal rate? It’s well established that once you reach the very very top of fortunes, the effective tax rate starts going down.

It's astounding how bad faith you people are.

The question wasn't "does every billionaire pay the top marginal tax rate", it was: could you elaborate how France is "giving all the money to billionaires"? which was the OP's claim.

If this was true, it'd be simple for your ilk to answer it directly. Since it's not, you lie, misdirect, and shift the goalposts around in defense of the original lie, viciously attacking straw men that you erected.

France gives no money to billionaires. Even if you think their tax rate should be higher, those billionaires pay billions into a system that's managed to bankrupt itself through massive spending on general entitlements. You could take every billionaire in France to the guillotine, steal 100% of their wealth, and it'd fund the French government for less than two years. Spending must go down.

What do you mean "you people"? "Your ilk"?

Can you be a bit more polite? i.e. I am polite despite the fact you're often carrying water for the "top 0.1%" in your comments, for an unknown reason.

Still no answer here to the question — just more bad faith, more misdirection, more libel.

What libel did you see from me? Or misdirection? I'm not the GP from the original thread, I was just pointing out your repeated behaviour.

No, that’s why they don’t do it that way.

It’s a print of a piece of art.

That’s liberalism not racism.

(In the economical sense, not in the political sense)

I do, 3-4$ a month of deep seek is enough for my usage

Same thing. I'm sure a subscription would be better value if I had enough usage, but I don't. With Deepseek or similar a few $ is quite a bit of usage already.

He obviously meant the title of the HN post? Why not straight up say that the article title is different and avoid the passive aggressiveness.

I see the passive aggressiveness only in your response, not the parent.

I did not meant it in that way...and I would bet, most did not interpret it as such...the passive aggressiveness is coming from you.

I meant it that the poster, changed the original title, what is a kind of editorializing. I thought of calling on the mods to edit it back, but judged that would be a kind of... semi-passive aggressiveness.

I don't think there's anything 'passive' about specifically asking for what you think should be done!

> the passive aggressiveness is coming from you.

could you explain this? the comment you're replying to, how is it passive-aggressive? seems more regular-aggressive to me.

It came of kinda passive aggressive to me, to be honest!

I live in a 20 stories building with only two elevators, 4 3-bedrooms apartments per floor. And I don’t think I ever had to wait more than a couple minutes.

Kind of crazy to put “Complete” in the post’s title then.

The mandate stipulates that they can get minimum wage, I wouldn’t call that a “regular” wage, and certainly not a livable one.

Seattle and its surrounding cities have among the highest minimum wages in the entire world (~$22/hour). You're maybe not renting a studio apartment by yourself but it is far from destitution.

You can get a pretty decent 1 bedroom apartment in the U district of Seattle on $22/hour, such as [1].

A full-time job should allow at least for a moderate place of living alone, otherwise it's not a minimum wage.

I mean it's still rough if you want to live close to downtown, but it's also $21.30/hr and going to go up in 2027.
