mars4rp··on Ask HN: Has it suddenly become exceedingly hard to attract full-time employees?
Big companies made interviews hard, and because they pay more and the brand name they get the applicant to fill up the position.

Smaller companies followed without being able to compete on TC. Now although some percentage of people go through interview torture every year a really big percentage of my peers and friends don't do that because it is a pain.

Big companies won in keeping the talent for less. Smaller companies lost because they blindly followed.

mars4rp··on Jeff Bezos’s Wealth Soars to $171.6B to Top Pre-Divorce Record
1. It is for people with net worth above $50M. I don't think most of that net worth is pokemon cards! 2. Yes it might be a little bit harder. 3. " it becomes a very small % of government revenue" Tax is about fairness not how much money we can raise from it. 4. this is in top of income tax for high worth individuals. 5. on unliquid assets like startup options, maybe you can pay your tax with those stocks. If it went to 0, you didn't pay any additional tax, if it appreciated government(all of us) would make something on it too.

It is hard and not perfect, but we can't have everything based on income for high net worth people, they won't pay their fair share and keep getting richer and richer.

mars4rp··on Jeff Bezos’s Wealth Soars to $171.6B to Top Pre-Divorce Record
"Bezos et al are just not paying as much as regular people" they are not! they might pay more at the $ value, but not more of their net worth. If you are making $100k and pay at least $20k in taxes, your net worth should be $20M to be in the same bracket as Bezos!
mars4rp··on Jeff Bezos’s Wealth Soars to $171.6B to Top Pre-Divorce Record
Bernie/Warren wealth tax was a good idea in my opinion. It would increase Bezos's effective tax rate from 0.1% to 3%. Bezos's net worth still would increase every year, as the normal capital gain is 8% per year and it is much higher in Amazon.
mars4rp··on Jeff Bezos’s Wealth Soars to $171.6B to Top Pre-Divorce Record
what is not normal is he is not paying much taxes compare to his wealth! He is selling around a $1B of Amazon shares each year and if he doesn't deduct anything he is paying 15% capital gain on it. That's 1/1000 of his net worth, I am pretty sure we all are paying way more than that. How is that fair? And also the taxes supposed to be progressive, rich supposed to pay more, our dream here is to have the rich pay as much as a teacher!
