Redneck on civics part II, living tax free

If you hate taxes you will love this guy.

Death and taxes,  the only two sure things in life.  Is this really true?  I will let you know on the death part later, but is it possible to run a country without taxation?  Zero income tax, sales tax,  property tax?  Well as it turns out, the answer is yes indeedy, one country has managed to pull off this magnificent accomplishment, tax free since 1974.  The people's utopia of North Korea.  Next question.

Perversely, that the DPRK has no taxes may be the best illustration of why taxation is a good thing.  There are a handful of other countries that do not have to rely so much on taxes for revenue, such as some of the  oil rich nations, or the countries  that get their revenue for providing international loopholes for banking, gambling, corporate registration, flags of convenience and such.  The thing  most of these countries have in common besides low taxes is low democracy.   People may be apathetic about their leadership, but seldom about their money.  Just ask Patrick Henry.

There are also countries that have taxation, but nobody pays it,  you can't get blood from turnips, or taxes from citizens with no money.

So if you really want to live tax free, there are options, Bermuda, Switzerland, and Monaco are nice if you are not claustrophobic and you have a billion or so in the bank.  Want to live a pure  life in accordance with the teaching of the Prophet? Say no more.   Economy class tax havens may be found in Bolivia or Paraguay,  adventure lovers can experience genuine anarchy, African style, in  their choice of locations, BYOG.  And, of course, you could emigrate to North Korea.

Canadian police need more diversity

Image
As the great Canadian Border and Capital Cities blockades wind their way down, we might ask where were the police?  This was far from the first Canada's first blockade rodeo. When the Indians (as in First Nations), environmentalists, G20 summit protesters, strikers, unemployed workers etc., take to the streets the police can be counted on to show up in full riot gear ever ready to restore order.  Maybe they learned from past mistakes, or maybe cops are reluctant to bust the heads of their drinking buddies.   Most Canadian cops are smart enough to keep their opinions off social media, but there are a few who have not gotten the memo yet .  Which is yet another reason that our police forces need greater diversity.  With a better selection of pissed off oppressed minorities the cops would be able to respond to any flavor protest with equal enthusiasm.

The deadly gas stove

Image
  A recent tempest in a tea pot was about gas stoves and their potential hazards to health and environment.  The usual suspects have climbed on their soapboxes, the loony left demanding the sale of gas stoves be banned, and the right wing-nuts proclaiming that the right to buy a gas stove is right up there with assault rifles. After an exhaustive five minute internet search, I have discovered that gas stoves may result in a statistically higher incidence in childhood asthma, may leak methane when turned off, and may release nitrogen oxides when they are used. Burning natural gas has also been blamed for the release of toxic chemicals, such as benzene. So cooking over open flames might be dangerous, who knew?  Digging a bit deeper it turns out that the source of leaked gas inside homes was due to leaks in gas lines.  So plumbing might also be dangerous, or perhaps the plumbers are dangerous.  I wonder what the ban the gas snowflakes will do when they find out that electricity is also da

Artificial Intelligence revisited

  People who write for a living are all excited about ChatGTP, that generates an intelligently written response or explanation on almost any subject. I gotta admit, it's amazing. ChatGTP has a huge knowledge base and provides a well worded response to almost any question.   On the other hand, reports are coming in that some i phones  are sending false emergency calls for accidents that never happened at amusement parks and ski hills because the phones were programmed to automaticially detect accidents based on their motion detectors.  Go for a roller coaster ride, fall off your snow board, put your phone in the glove box and hit a few potholes, and your phone calls 911 on you.   The latest 'feature' included with almost any household appliance is  the ability to connect to a smart phone.  You might wonder why your phone needs to speak to your refrigerator.  You now have the ability to turn off your bathroom light in your Oshkosh home while you are in a business meeting in H
