As the tentative launch date for Tesla's Robotaxi service approaches, more details are emerging, including the presence of a human safety driver and other key aspects.
When I fall of my bike, hurt my arm and need a doctor to fix it, I don’t have to think about insurance or medical debt, or anything. I just go to the hospital and go back home to heal without paying a dime and with paid leave for as long as I need to recover.
I also love that I can take an affordable train to go almost everywhere in my country, that universities don’t require a loan so high that you will be paying for it for years… I could go on, but you get the idea.
I love paying taxes because it’s way cheaper than the american alternative.
People who are not too stupid or egoistic to see that good things happen with them?
I love the awesome public transport network here, I love the good maintained hiking paths, I love that I can walk safe outside because of good social security. I love that all people have access to good healthcare here
I believe paying taxes is a fair tradeoff for living in a society. My concerns are that those taxes be applied fairly, even if that impacts me, and that they be used to improve society for its people, even if it costs me more.
I know people who are elderly or have lower income, I have kids in college, I have been between jobs in parts of my career, I’ve had major medical emergencies in my family …. And I have the empathy to want no one to go through that without assistance. I know the only way for people to “pick themselves up by their bootstraps” (I know, I know), is that when they fall off the tightrope they are caught before hitting the ground. I know the only way to break the cycle of poverty and crime is for kids to start with the same opportunities as their peers. I know that technology and science can be directed and accelerated by targeted investments. And yes, even if it costs me more. My successes are a product of my society and it is fair for them to feed back into society
Wait, who actually likes paying taxes?
//edit: Forgot I’m on Lemmy. I’ll show myself out, comrades.

Hear hear. I think it was Chomsky that said something like “we should all be celebrating tax day; that we don’t speaks volumes”
I do.

I do. They make sure that my family which is borderline in proverty and barely able to live sometimes can actually survive.
