My partner couldn't get *anyone* in the Kaiser system to give it to her because that's apparently their company standard line re:HPV? Maddening.

Some doctors will also refuse to give it because "there's no way you haven't been sexually active (and therefore you already have HPV)". Keep trying with other doctors, professional attitudes around this vaccine *suck*.

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,…

Et la voiture n’a pas simplement “percuté” l’adolescente, ce qui laisse entendre l’absence d’intention. Quand tu charges à répétition des enfants à la voiture bélier, avec délectation visiblement, c’est une tentative de meurtre. Loin de la qualification de simple mise en danger de l’enquête ouverte.

If they are operating under police ROE, shooting at fleeing cars is a big no-no, for exactly the reasons you'd think.

That's by design. They intentionally target people that don't have guns registered to them, and avoid engaging with those that do. (At least for now.)

Police rules of engagement forbid shooting at fleeing cars, or standing in front of cars occupied/driven by suspects to head off this sort of behavior.

See this ICE agent? He’s a holding a *military assault rifle.* And according to a witness, that‘s the agent who shot a man **while the man was in his car with his 5-year-old kid.** Also, I’m no expert, but i’m pretty sure it’s bananas to hold your phone in one hand & your ASSAULT RIFLE in another

Localities that use stop light cameras typically reduce the duration of yellow lights, which makes the intersection less safe and more lethal in service to generating more money for the PD. Most traffic enforcement follows a similar paradigm of rent extraction.
