Not well researched on this, but off the top of my head it doesn’t seem like the best policy (disproportionally impacts low income people.) The state still needs to collect money for maibtaining roads, libraries, schools, etc. This is likely coming from stuff like sales tax, etc. People on lower incomes are more likely to spend a higher portion of their income on goods (food, gas, etc.) Since the price of those is semi-fixed relative to income, while those who are of higher income are more likely to save the money. This leads to low income people effectively being taxed more of their wage than high income people. Might be totally wrong though, would really need to look at the policies on this style of taxation and if it makes any sense. What probably matters most is where the governments revenue is actually coming from.

I would like to give a massive shout out to the fact that a foot is only 5mm off from being a light nanosecond. (Pure coincidence, but imagine if the next God emperor of America changed the foot definition by 5mm to make a truly science based unit of measurement.)

Yes, that is why it states “this is what peak thermodynamic performance.” In electronics people are taught that no device is 100% efficient because energy is lost as heat. A heater is 100% efficient because everything becomes heat.

Light is absorbed by materials and ultimately becomes heat.

The majority of tea (pu’erh my beloved excluded) is not fermented it is oxidized.

Fermented: Silly lil guys do some magic to make flavour get funky. EX: pu’erh, wine, miso, bread

Oxidized: Oxygen, destroyer of worlds, wrecks havoc on the chemical structure of hapless molecules. EX: Guac that has gone brown, green, oolong, and black tea, rust.

The spelling made me remember this gem: https://youtu.be/HguKPVgIZL8
