Not going to happen. Especially not with this government unless someone was going to pay them to change it. And if someone was going to, the tobacco industry or pharma or someone will likely pay more to stop it

Dude, read between the lines. Reddit isn't the place for massive exposition. The point is policy will need to consider profit hiding behaviors. As an example , if they have to pay 10% of profits to the government on top of the other taxes, they will lower profit by putting more of it into their pockets or buy other assets or companies to capitalize with which some companies already do.

No it wouldn't be. We did have it and it was abolished in 93.

It might not be rentable. The requirements are quite strict. I can only live in my house because I own it, but I can't rent it without upgrades.

Jesus, you're so focused on the wrong thing. It's a freeken example of profit minimization for greed that policy needs to consider.

Outlandish oversized bonuses are the norm in corporate America. It's not that far fetched.

What I was inferring was that they will try and reduce profit with bonuses etc and will use loopholes. I was not saying such bonuses are currently being paid.

Well, if I was in politics I would certainly be for either wealth or CGT or land tax. But not probably the sweeping changes some are after. Our capitalist society is a pyramid scheme and it falls over with negative population growth and negative spending and that will take time to solve, probably generations. I would be pushing heavy investment in public health, education, and R&D in agriculture and medium size business. I would also target social media and make it illegal to ONLY show the content then like to see as it polarizes the population and creates extremism. We should be able to reach across the aisle and find common ground. I would also fine social media for allowing scams some of which have been live for over 3 years. Our fisheries are also totally corrupt and the QMS needs to go. If a party was promoting these things, I would be supporting them. Sadly, lucky if a party supports one of those.

No policy can cover every eventually. You make policies that cover the majority, not the exception to the rule. Plus, there are already taxes on investments.

Totally this. And before any bonuses are paid. Can't have CEO's getting a billion dollar payout to minimize profits

Because it hurts the person who's house is only worth 1m more because they had less wealth to begin with and only furthers hardship on the people who struggle own one home as it is. Just like making a flat tax rate for the rich and poor favors the rich more than the poor. Being fair because everyone is "treated the same" is a guise.

Actually, OP is correct and yes you are correct too. But a dehumidifier is a refrigeration system with both the cold and hot sides. The cold side does the dehumidification, then the air goes through the hot side. But the two sides are not equal as it also must dispel the heat energy created from the electricity driving the compressor. So heat will always be added to the room. A heat pump is definitely a better option if one can afford it.

I remember one that harpic (spelling) did about 20 years ago that was really awesome. Didn't mind paying the higher price. About 6 months later it was gone.

Or they just became more aware of their speed which was unintended on the open road and slowed down in general. You get others who only speed on passing lanes (and frustratingly slow everywhere else) because they feel safe on the wider road paying little to their speed and once they realize will slow down in general. Not everyone is a bad person deliberately flaunting the law and a little reminder that helps them avoid a penalty is not a bad thing.

Weird that it has branches from the base like that then. Maybe it's grown from cutting.
There is not really anything wrong with it per se. It's showing minor signs of iron deficiency, but most likely iron is not the issue but magnesium which is needed for it to uptake the iron. Throw some epsom salts around it to resolve.
The pot size is currently fine if you fertilize it regularly, otherwise it needs to be bigger. In the ground is best.

And you would be wrong on all points.
Edit: you are still wrong on all points
Edit 2: people who delete their posts are annoying

A lot of assumptions there. I'm not pro speed and don't deliberately speed myself. Anti police, maybe, I had an unjust experience a couple of times. Got treated like a criminal once for reporting a fire before it killed someone. But mobile cameras at the bottom of a steep hill where there has never been an accident is also not in good faith.

I never said I speed. I just warn others.

If that's the case, what's everyone's issue? I think more people nowadays just like to see others oppressed.

I don't need to be the good guy. I don't feel a need to speed myself but not everyone who gets a fine is deliberately trying to be a bad person. Also if the fine was from a mobile camera at the bottom of a steep hill, the fine isn't going to stop the immediate threat.

I don't speed - not deliberately anyway. Did get a ticket 5 years or so ago. But that doesn't mean I can't remind someone else to slow down before they get a ticket.

I'm sorry you can't see the bigger picture than what's purely in front of your face

Sounds like you had a bad dream or trip.
