I realize my last message was only good wishes. Anything I could do to help you beyond that?

@Rhaedas

The trend does continue higher up the range last I looked at this a few years back.

We can only speculate ont he reason. but cost of living makes little sense since the lower bracket is quite well-to-do. Doiing it for tax purposes would in almost all cases cost you more than you get back, so that makes little sense in most cases too.

For anyone who has friend circles who are rich, as I do, it seems obvious why,. rich people are generally creators and doers, they see problems, like poverty, and they want to fix it. Its quite common for them to be involved in the process well beyond the money

@skaly

I am sorry to hear how people treat you, it is undeserved.

While I certainly am appaled by the actions of Israel (and the hamas) that in no way justifies you being mistreated for what side you are born into As long as you dont support what Israel (and palestine) is doing then there is nor eason you should be judged, its wrong.

Good luck to you. I hope people treat you better.

@baldengineer Why do I want this so bad!?

@olives Maybe oneday, but certainly not in its current form.

If anyone is interested I just created a Docker image for jupyterLabs that contains about a dozen different languages including Haskell, Javascript, Typescript, Go and several others.

You can run it with:

docker run -v "/home/freemo/source:/home/jovyan/work" -p 8888:8888 -it modjular/jupyterlab-all

Then just open it in your browser. Enjoy!

@Gbudd

Yea no worries.

@justinerickson

Usually when someone starts spewing racist garbage in response to an otherwise polite difference of opinions its a pretty good indication that "understanding" is really one of their strong suits.

@jeffowski

@Gbudd

sadly I dont have anything more recent on hand, but attached is the actual data normalized properly for AGI and only looking at individuals, not corporations. AS you can see super wealthy contribute more than double, in terms of % of income, than the well-to-do middle class.

@jeffowski

@paulschoe @jeffowski

You are refering to door--to-door collections, not overall donations. Also I wasnt talking specifically of the Netherlands but rather world-wide statistics. I dont know the numbers specific tot he Netherlands.

@jeffowski

Well I guess thats one way to respond to you finding out your comment was racist nonsense.. just double down on it.

Welcome to the mute list.

@jeffowski No one said anything about poor people... I refereed specifically to well-to-do middle class in my one example.

If your going to make up things I didnt say and then argue against those your just wasting my time.

@lonelyranger

Neither the left nor the right have any shortage of conspiracy theory nonsense.

@jeffowski

> Again, it’s always a white Northern European guy that is defending the status quo because they are insulated from the problems incurred by their morally bankrupt views and philosophy.

Oh, who is that? I am not white (im native american), and I'm not norther European or even European... Thanks for that racist remark though, really shows your true colors.

@lonelyranger

It is always someone elses fault, or the fault of some group other than the person who takes issue...That is not a coincidence, it is also the root of the problem.

@jeffowski

@jeffowski

On average richer people donate a much larger percentage of their ownings to help the poor that middle-class well off people, but a pretty big margin.

So yes, and they **do** donate more, statistically speaking. The problem is not wholly theirs to bear however.

@jeffowski Incorrect, though it is a common perspective and I understand that you believe thqt to be the case.

That isnt to say that billionairs do no wrong, they do, right along with people at any income level.

@jeffowski Good post, not related to billionairs, but otherwise a good post I wish more people understood.

@johnabs hahah please do :)
