  • This is just false. Those are the income tax rates for highest earners. Billionaires’ wealth is mostly tied up in stocks, property, and other investments. Someone like Jeff Bezos does not have $196bln in his bank account, like you and I have a few $100.

    If we want to really tax billionaires, we need a wealth tax on any homes you own after your first, luxury cars, private planes and yachts, a passive tax on holding stock and stock options, and also clamp down on tax loop holes.




  • As a fellow PS5 owner, and someone who would like to game on the go, the Steam deck interests me, especially as Sony refuses to release a proper handheld, but I’m finding it hard to pull the trigger on it, as the majority of my game catalogue is on PS5, and what games I have on PC are mostly not on steam platform. I have some games that are on steam that could be played on the go, but what is the Internet connectivity requirement like?











  • A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.

    If you start to think about how these lengths of time are defined it becomes clearer.

    1 day = time to rotate on it’s axis once 1 year = time to complete a full rotation around the sun

    For Earth, it takes us ~24hrs to rotate on our axis and 365.25 days to orbit the sun.

    However, because Venus’ axial rotation is so slow (and another interesting fact, it rotates in the opposite direction to other planets) it actually completes a full orbit of the sun before 1 axial rotation.

    Hence, a year is shorter than a day

    For those interested:

    1 Venus day = 243 earth days 1 Venus year = 225 earth days
