I always thought that was really dumb. After hearing stories from people then "find a skill in demand that sounds like a fun challenge" is a way better approach. I went for software but mech/civil engineering, carpentry, electrician and architect would all also be great choices.

It really is, the best kind of inheritance tax is a progressive one that is zero until a person inherits the equivalent of a median apartment.

This tax is politically tricky though because it's an emotionally charged topic that is easy to get people riled up. Think "Labor is taxed, financial gains are taxed, gas is taxed, products are taxed, retirement income is taxed and death is taxed also?" vibes.

There is also a question of farmers since you need a farm of a certain size to be competitive and that's usually land that's worth a lot of money. It'll basically make it impossible to transition individual farmers between generations since they're always just barely getting by and surely not going to be able to afford the tax.

The Brits added an exemption for farmland and the rich use it as a loophole now.

I say fuck it, redistribution once per generation is really good for the economy.

I heard that the average user is in his thirties so it skews a bit up compared to other new platforms. There are probably some tech savvy people that worked with computers until retirement on here.

I think falconry is a pretty smart way to hunt in Mongolia when you don't have any tech.

Hard disagree. We have the scientific method to able to approach the unknown and slowly decipher it in a way that consistently gets us closer to the truth because we're at least smart-ish as a human race.
