That millionaires leaving in droves myth is always trotted out in these debates.

The very institute that was perpetuating the idea recently rescinded their own report because the UK is making millionaires at 10x the rate they are leaving. But of course that’s not reported on.

Plus, again, the ultra rich operating on a global scale don’t pay taxes anyway, so good riddance.

Did all the millionaires leave when taxes were incredibly high compared to today’s standards? And again we’re talking progressive taxation. Only income above a certain threshold would have a higher rate applied. They won’t notice it. They literally are just fighting it because they can.

Many UK millionaires only speak English and don’t want to uproot their lives to save a tiny amount on taxes (the S&P500’s returns will always make up for whatever tiny additional percentage we might tax the rich).

It’s so silly to think that there’s this millionaire flight. By now we wouldn’t have any left.

Oh and conveniently it’s happening in all other countries too. So where are they going, space? Antarctica? It’s propaganda for the stupid.

+1 for Bitwarden. Seamless experience so far. EBay hasn’t yet worked properly, but GitHub does for sure. It’s very convenient, especially if your browser doesn’t store cookies

Fully agree.

Piracy ends when content is offered in a convenient fashion. It’s always been this simple and always will be. Naturally, rich and out of touch people want to believe that more authoritarianism is the solution, because they got rich through their contempt for humanity, so why should this be any different?

And as another counter, in my village there is no (!!) signal at all. At my house I can only get one bar of 4G outside the house. Broadband is capped at 1mbit up and 10mbit down. But we have Starlink, so it’s fine. Not everyone can afford that though. The infrastructure has been promised for a decade now. Beyond ridiculous. Being in a national landscape (formerly AONB) doesn’t help either
