Before the ADA and many other civil rights judicial decisions and laws, disabled life was made nearly universally impossible. Disabled people had to improvise bare survival. Even today, many disabled people live unlivable, cramped, and confined lives.

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,…

Thank you so much- $50 more brings me to $230 of $700! Due Sunday morning- and my birthday is this weekend. It would be deeply appreciated if I could catch up EARLY and not have to panic on my birthday. Getting older is complicated enough.

If beaded fringe is your thing, yes! You need multiple gauges of Fireline for my kind of beadery, ranging from 4-lb for bead embroidery and delica work to 14-lb and even 20-lb for large collars and Komodogenesis cuffs!

I dream of tribunals for every person involved. They damn well signed up for it. Semi-related, but we also need to prosecute all the Congressional staffers who’ve been committing elder abuse for years. They’re also responsible for this.

🧵Language is a living thing; societal changes change language & changed language changes society. Take "gay." It once meant "happy, lively"; using it now as simple identifier OR slur shapes how society sees/treats the ppl who claim the word. Anthropic wants you to think A.i. is people. It is not.

I feel like so many of you would love this jewelry. It's medium-colorful, frequently inspired by lizards/reptiles, looks a bit on tough and/or dramatic side. It's so good! October is a good time to think about winter season presents, especially if you're going to shop from individual small artists
