But most blockchain visualizers like https://mempool.space works too.
Bad idea. Sales tax is a REGRESSIVE tax. It harms the poor more than it harms the rich. Abolish sales tax. 100% corporate revenue tax.
Corporations pay all kinds of taxes. It’s a cost of doing business in the USA. As it should be.
Fun fact: customers don’t pay sales tax, businesses do. It’s a massive scam that sales tax is added onto the purchase price to hide the cost from their customers. It makes customers side with businesses against raising BUSINESS taxes.
I am curious how you ever thought it had charm...
According to our research of California and other state lists, there were 788 registered sex offenders living in San Francisco as of December 01, 2024.

San Francisco has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 15.
I was an edgy 90’s teen and really liked Height Ashbury, even 20 years later.
SF is an awesome city, though I’ve never lived in it. I’m sure that would give a deeper perspective.
Sure, it has bad areas, like any city… maybe even more than many other cities.
Of course they do. And if corporate employees don’t have to pay income tax, their salary will be lower. It all evens out in the end.
The primary purpose of government is to protect its people from powerful entities who do not have the best interest of the people at heart. By definition, corporations do not have the best interest of the people at heart.
And of course you can argue that current governments do not have the people’s best interest at heart. But they’re supposed to.
Corporations are NOT supposed to have the people’s best interest at heart. They exist solely to make money, and they have a fiduciary duty to do so. Often, I dare say nearly always, they do so by taking advantage of the people, either via monopoly price gauging, or wage theft, or pollution, or any number of other things. This isn’t necessarily going to change, but taxes are a tool to curb behavior that damages the people.
I want a world where I don’t have to fill out my tax return every year, because my company has already paid all the taxes necessary. I also want to walk into a store and pay the exact listed price for an item so I don’t have to do 8% math on it in my head to decide whether I want it.
I haven’t been there in like 10 years. Maybe it’s lost its edgy charm.
The California Academy of Sciences is pretty awesome.
Also be sure to walk through the Height district.
All taxes should be corporate taxes based on revenue, not profit, so NO deductions or loopholes. It should be progressive, so that as the company brings in more revenue, they are taxed at a higher percent.
No level of the supply chain is exempt. If it takes four middle-men to get me my item, each middleman should be likewise taxed.
This will keep business from getting too big, help prevent monopolies, and help support producers who work with their customers directly.
Business will need to balance owning a larger portion of the supply chain with getting too big. The precise percentages can be adjusted as needed to have the best effect.
I make fantastic stuffing. It is almost entirely sourdough bread, but I do add onions, celery, garlic, minced turkey liver, and whatever meat I can pick off of the neck. The flavor base is Bell’s Turkey Seasoning.
A great satisfaction for the graphic designer in me:
@`Openvibe`, a cross-platform client ( @`Mastodon`, @`Bluesky`, #threads and #nostr ) designed to unify the timeline chaos, is using on the App Store the #nostr logo I designed and shared here:
https://github.com/mbarulli/nostr-logo
This is my favorite Nostr logo. I got it on a t-shirt.

Too bad you didn’t make it here to California during ski season. Kirkwood’s the best!
If there are others in the area, you only need one to communicate. Each user needs their own device.
Be careful what you joke about. Real humans incur real costs when people take you seriously.
Unfortunately, our city water was not fluorinated.
My kid’s pediatrician prescribed him fluoride drops when he was a baby.
He has nice strong teeth now and has never had a cavity.
Fortunately, we have good dental insurance but many low-income families do not.
Adding fluoride to a water supply is the biggest low-hanging fruit that a city can do to increase health of their entire city and reduce severe medical costs.
I appreciate RDK Jr.’s skepticism towards Big Pharma, but fluoride is NOT the enemy here. The science is very clear on this.
Picked this up. (1st Edition!) at a used bookshop this weekend. Looking forward to reading it! 
Now I’ve seen everything. I’m at a Beach Boys concert and they’re playing The Ramones.
Dude, I LOVE mashed cauliflower. So much better than mashed potatoes. If only it wasn’t so damn expensive!
The Cure!
