I’ll have some reduced hours next week due to some restaurant buy-outs so while I’ll be alright for rent, it would be nice to have some buffer for upcoming bills if anybody wants to chip in 👀 💦

If you think something is funny because it’s being pointed out in a self aware way, imagine how much more the joke works if it’s just taken as a given. Imagine how many times you can hit that button. It doesn’t stop being funny or interesting, because that’s just a part of the world.

I see a lot of posts saying that you need to be creative, you need to draw, defy the odds, yaddayadda. Hey. It's ok to be tired. It's ok to not be able to do much. It's ok to just sit on the couch and stare at the wall. Please drink some water. Take a shower if you can. It's ok.

lemme add: even if it's not covid, YOU SHOULD BE WEARING AN N95 OR EQUIVALENT IN PUBLIC UNTIL YOU'RE NOT SICK. we (should) all know that masks protect others from covid, but ppl die from the flu and other respiratory viruses all the time. MASK UP EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK IT'S COVID!!!

#BLFC2026 Wear a mask. That means wear an N95 in all public indoor areas but especially in con space. I will have a limited amount of N95s with me. If you need one, just ask! Protect yourself and your community. We are ramping up hard for Covid/Flu season and western NV already has high levels.

Covid heat map based on cdc wastewater levels from October 12. Particularly high levels in California, Pacific Northwest, Texas, Alaska and Florida.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment.

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…
