Fully agree. I have been able to collect some signatures among my friends and relatives (in Germany). Unfortunately, I don’t know how I could help in other countries / languages. At most with upvotes of the relevant posts and in general spread the word.

And I have just noticed that the initiative’s website (https://www.tax-the-rich.eu/) with all the important information is only available in 6 languages. Polish is not included. That could be a reason. Things like this are an oversight we need to address (next time…).

I don’t get whats going on with e.g. Poland. Like literally I don’t understand it. Under 5%. Is this a cultural thing? Or was it simply not promoted enough?

Meanwhile france close to 200 freaking percent. Germany 150.

It’s completely incomprehensible to me how something like this can’t be massively successful. We should already have three times the necessary votes by now

everyone who donated $1,000 or more, we give an original piece of a downed russian strike aviation

How does someone deserve to be paid for work done? Is that your question?

Is this some kind of pathetic troll attempt?

I will not reward that with further attention.

You are aware that there are full-time developers working at Mozilla, yes? Developing a browser is not a hobby-project that you can pull off with some volunteers in their free time. You need professionals that work on such a giant project with their full attention.

Developing Firefox is their job. And of course they want to get paid for that (and deserve it). Just like you get paid for your actual job.

Do you think developers don’t have to eat? or pay rent? And donations alone do not cut it.

Nah, impossible. Its max 5 years or so…

I just quit my 270 000$ job at Coinbase to join the first YCombinator fall batch with my cofounder @not_nang. We’re building PearAI, an open source AI code editor.

Of course it is a cryptobro…

Yep, already hate that guy. Talks and behaves like an absolute dipshit.

My wording was poorly chosen. You are right of course. Its not a waste in that sense. But when better alternatives are available, which will hopefully soon achieve an acceptable level of efficiency, it makes no sense to build more. Apart from the space problem.

Pumpspeicherkraftwerke. We have 31 of them in germany. Which is pretty much the maximum possible because you can’t build them just everywhere. And quick search says these things are economically unsustainable because of the extremely high construction costs but very low revenues. It is wasted money.
