This sounds like more of a criticism against our representative democracy than it does against UBI or a VAT.

> This VAT would vary based on the good to which it's applied, with staples having a lower rate or being excluded, and luxury goods having a higher rate.

That's the beauty of a VAT. It can be tuned to reach the desired result.

Yangs proposal was a VAT, which wouldn't be a tax on your earnings. Am I off here?

I've never heard of autonomous. What are your impressions of the build quality?

Re:Ask HN: Do you like your desk chair? on Monday May 18, 2020 @04:00PM (#23227638)

I hadn't considered it but I think I'll give it a try. Very low cost to try it out and if I don't like it I could repurpose it for exercise.

Thanks!

I just did the math and cancelled prime. I realized that I didn't care to have items in within 2 days and I can still get free shipping if I batch my ordering a bit more.
