#Oregon

In '22, MA voters enacted the #FairShare, imposing a 4% #surtax on annual incomes above $1M, dedicating the proceeds to #transportation and #education.

…A total of $2.2 billion was collected in the first full year of implementation, far exceeding the original forecast of $1 billion.

Now MA funded #freetuition for #communitycolleges, #freeschoollunch at public schools; lowered fares and expanded bus service statewide, invested in bridges and rail.

#DigitalNetworksAct: "There's a #monopoly problem, #ISPs control the only route to the subscriber."

"Large #telcos might try this tactic to 🤑 extract revenue from popular #content providers and stifle #ISP competition."

Disruptive Competition Project · Digital Networks Act: What the EU Can Learn From the Swisscom-INIT7 Dispute - Disruptive Competition ProjectThe European Commission should drop the idea of introducing an arbitration or dispute resolution mechanism via the Digital Networks Act for possible conflicts between telecom operators and other ISPs or content providers. This is because: there is no market failure justifying such regulation; existing tools can address the few disputes that do arise; it would unfairly benefit dominant telecom operators and effectively introduce network fees.

@greycat @godpod EXACTLY!

And they should only be paid for the time they are actually working, not a second more!

Also every kind of income should be taxed like #WageWork and #BuyBorrowDie needs to be criminalized as illegal #TaxDodging and #SocialSecurityFraud!

@anon_opin not to mention:

People who "make a living" off "#ConditionlessIncome" aka. #RoboWealth with #CapitalGains, #Dividents, #InterestRates and #Rent should also be subject to the same #SocialSecurity and #Healthcare #Premiums and #Insurance terms as if they were #WageWorkers with the same #income.

  • After all, even a #Billionaire or #Investor can become #unemployed by virtue of loosing #wealth and/or unable to work by virtue of an accident, and it's safe to assume they could even become in need of permanent care.

So it seems fair to demand they also pay their "#FairShare", cuz if I as a #WageWorker can afford ~18% for #HealthInsurance and ~30% in terms of #IncomeTax, then they too can afford that!
