The “If we tax billionaires, they will leave” argument is like saying “If we make murder illegal, then all the murderers will leave”. It’s flawed in a number of ways. But I’ll highlight one.

So GTFO if you don’t like it.

Read that last line! This book, The Unsettling of America, was written by Wendell Berry in 1977 and has only become more true over the past 50 years.

“… We must address ourselves seriously, and not a little fearfully, to the problem of human scale. What is it? How do we stay within it? What sort of technology enhances our humanity? What sort reduces it? The reason is simply that we cannot live except within limits, and these limits are of many kinds: spatial, material, moral, spiritual. The world has room for many people who are content to live as humans, but only for a relative few intent upon living as giants or as gods.”

The findings suggest that Doggerland may have provided a surprisingly hospitable refuge for plants, animals, and potentially humans, thousands of years before forests became widespread across Britain and northern Europe.

Water your plants and trees today or tomorrow morning. Early heat waves are rather tough on them. Getting a good drink ~before~ the real heat sets in helps them much more than trying to revive a wilty plant with too little too late.
