Michael Tracey : If you happen to know who this Cornell "Jane Doe" is, get in touch and I would be happy to publish her name and identifying information. And yes -- this is 100% permitted under the First Amendment, whatever threats or emotional blackmail people might want to deploy"Report" me for what, exactly? Save your breath, scumbag. Sorry you hate the First Amendment so much. Her identity is obviously newsworthy at this point, and I will take extreme pleasure in reporting it. (Not "doxing" -- that's a total canard)

I wish people would stop referring to Donald Trump as "the Felon." Trump's felony convictions don't begin to capture his harm. He is so much worse than those convictions. Most people with felony convictions are so much more than theirs, yet struggle to escape the stigma of that dehumanizing label.

Dangerous to political order, that is. To the extent wealth taxes are technocratically unsuitable, we should try other ideas. I like @cameroncorduroy.bsky.social's other proposals. But we should also consider how to render massive wealth more easily taxable, upstream of the point of taxation.

It's a timeless, predictable phenomenon that power corrupts. Even benevolently gotten riches can and usually do spoil the mind and soul of the wealthy person. So yes, we should address the specific crimes and corruptions of billionaires, but we should also see billionairehood itself as dangerous.

As a non-economist, I am open-minded to the economic arguments against the wealth tax. But on political economy, I think @cameroncorduroy.bsky.social's argument is naive. This is like saying the problem with absolute monarchy is not the monarchy but the wickedness of the reign.
The problem with Elon Musk is not his wealth; it is what he chose to do with his wealth. Yes, in theory, if you implemented this miraculously robust wealth tax that successfully limited personal wealth from growing from millions to billions, Elon Musk would not be a problem. But you know who would be? Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who enabled the gutting of USAID, revoked hundreds of student visas for political speech, and is personally instrumental in the United States’ ongoing war crimes in both the Caribbean and Persian Gulf. Or OMB Director Russ Vought, the man in charge of actually enacting DOGE personnel cuts and deciding to withhold billions of federal funds from Democratic states. A more appropriate response to wealthy individuals leveraging their wealth to destructive political ends is to harden the political system, not tweak economic policy in the vain hope of preventing the existence of wealthy individuals.
