Ask a room full of people if they are great drivers, then ask if everyone else on the road are terrible drivers. This is why we won’t have flying cars

11:05 am Here in the courtroom, three groups: the defense lawyers chatting; US Marshals chatting by the door the Maduros will be brought in through, and prosecutors chatting at the front table. Still waiting for the defendants, and for Judge Hellerstein

As if 39 Russian ballistic missiles targeting Kyiv overnight weren’t enough “good” news, #Starlink also capped the speed of terminals operating on the move in Ukraine at 100 mph (161 km/h). No warning, no heads-up – and several missions ended up being disrupted because of it.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

What would a 5% tax on billionaire wealth actually look like? There are 938 billionaires in America with more than $8 trillion in combined wealth. So Ben and I decided to make the numbers visible—and then ask a simple question: what could that money actually do?

Realtime Inequality estimates that the bottom half of Americans have roughly the same wealth today as we did in 1989. Thats the green line. That line right above it? Thats the top 0.1%. The blue line? Thats 20 households. Controlling $4. Trillion. Dollars. Seems sustainable.👀

Once I found out about it, I contacted the reporter and asked him to retract the piece--or at minimum add an editor's note acknowledging the NYT reporting about how Jane Doe did NOT tell police that she consented to her rape. Thus far, the publication has refused to do so.
