Michael Shellenberger@shellenberger· Aug 31, 2024The world took a giant leap forward into totalitarianism yesterday as the Brazilian government blocked X, formerly Twitter, and threatened to fine its citizens $8,900 per day if they use it.

There is growing evidence that fake judge @Alexandre engaged in serious, repeated & deliberate election interference in Brazil’s last presidential election.
Under Brazilian law, that would mean up to 20 years in prison.
And, I’m sorry to say that it appears that some former Twitter employees were complicit in helping him do so.
Anyone with examples or evidence to this effect, please reply to this post.

Until nonprofits are abolished, any other changes to the tax code are meaningless.
Since 1990, the wealthy have funneled nearly $10 Trillion into "non profit" tax shelters.
It's hard to take academics seriously when they ignore this fact while pushing meme policy proposals.
Jason Furman@jasonfurman· Aug 31, 2024I like the Biden-Harris proposal to tax unrealized capital gains.
For any given level of capital taxation it's more efficient & fair to tax unrealized gains, reduces lock in & tax planning.
The proposal does a thoughtful job of addressing tricky implementation issues.

@elonmusk · Sep 1, 2024
They are not tax shelters in that the money can’t be used by them personally, but it is leading to a vast amount of “activist zombie money” with self-perpetuating non-profits driving de facto misanthropic goals for humanity.
I’m in favor of deleting this from the tax code.

In addition, there will be reciprocal confiscation of assets of those who support the current regime in Brazil to pay for their illegal actions.
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee· Aug 31, 2024Is it time to end foreign aid to Brazil?
Is it also time to fire State Department personnel who facilitated Brazil’s suppression of free speech?

It’s pretty mind-blowing that a prominent American academic is willing to say this publicly. A disturbing shift in the Overton window. (I’m genuinely taken aback—have Reich’s colleagues/employer commented on this stuff?)

JUST IN: San Francisco 49ers first-round pick Ricky Pearsall was shot during an attempted robbery in San Francisco's Union Square.
Pearsall is in stable condition, and the suspect is in custody.

Unless murderers are locked up, they will murder.
A guy chased three X employees down Market St in SF trying hit them with an axe. They reported it, but no action was taken. A few months later, that guy killed someone with his axe.

Investing in Brazil under their current administration is insane. When there is new leadership, that will hopefully change.
Bill Ackman@BillAckman· Sep 1, 2024Brazil’s illegal shut down of @X and account freeze at Starlink put Brazil on a rapid path to becoming an uninvestable market. China committed similar acts leading to capital flight and a collapse in valuations. The same will happen to Brazil unless they quickly retreat from

→ Biden/Harris remain silent. Why?

Unequivocal violation of Brazilian law.
Michael Shellenberger@shellenberger· Aug 31, 2024This is insane. The Brazilian dictator @Alexandre demanded that X secretly block a sitting federal senator without any explanation for why. He gave X two hours to comply. This is a direct violation of Brazil's constitution and election interference.
