Could Bitcoin have solved this years ago, sending aid direct to the civilian population circumventing government channels and defunding potential plotters @hrf ?

regardless, it’s too late now. 🙁

Gotta love perplexity ai - If I were a 12-year-old looking at a hundred years of taxation experience, I might conclude this about the intelligence of the UK’s recent Capital Gains Tax changes: It seems like the government went out of its way to catch more people in the tax net by lowering the threshold for how much gain you can make before paying tax. So, more people now have to report small gains they wouldn’t have worried about before. But despite all this extra work—more forms, more checks, more surveillance—the total money they actually get from this tax has gone down. That would make me wonder if these changes were smart or just complicated things without getting much back in return. It feels like the government made everyone work harder but didn’t necessarily get more money. Maybe they didn’t think hard enough about how people might hide their gains or stop selling things to avoid paying tax. So from a kid’s perspective: it looks like a lot of hassle for little reward. Maybe smarter ways exist that catch the big earners without making so many others suffer the paperwork. In simple terms: lowering the bar made the tax system busy, but didn’t really fill the government’s piggy bank more than before. That’s not very clever for a system that’s been around for a long, long time.

Kids’ reality is being restricted before their eyes by restrictive state education and social media. Curiosity killed the cat and it’s been slowly asphyxiating adults too - no info outside the first page of google exists. At least Nostr seems to be full of curiosity.
