Martin Sandbu (FT) identifies four myths about wealth taxes:
Its too hard to do - well that hasn't stopped both Switzerland & Norway doing it (pretty well);
It won't actually raise much money - both countries above it raises substantial revenue;
It will scare the rich away - well it seldom does & then often they go to Switzerland (err, that has wealth taxes);
It will depress investment - no evidence backs up this claim.
So there we have it; wealth taxes are clearly possible!
A sign in Glasgow. I haven't been to the Delta Quadrant in years

@Natasha_Jay Lol.
Depends on the length of your home planet's year, doesn't it?
@simonzerafa The image shows a street sign attached to the corner of a building. The sign is rectangular with a dark blue background and white text. The text on the sign reads "STRYD YR EFAIL VULCAN ST." The building's wall is painted a light beige color, and there are two windows visible in the image. The window on the left has a white frame and is partially open, while the window on the right is closed and also has a white frame. The corner of the building is adorned with a decorative white stone molding. The overall appearance suggests a residential area with a historical or traditional architectural style.

So this has triggered a thought I had decades ago while my partner was watching Star Wars.
In three dimensional space you wouldn't refer to a Delta Quadrant which is a 2 dimensional term.
Perhaps there is someone knowledgeable about #geometry or #astronomy who knows the term for a quarter of a sphere.....
Came across the word tetartosphere but assume it isn't in common use.
@tomasino @Natasha_Jay
That makes sense.

@leighms @tomasino @Natasha_Jay Yep! Galactic quadrants are in fact a real thing astronomers use in their communications sometimes! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_quadrant
Our galaxy is also assigned latitudes and longitudes and sometimes even cardinal directions. (Galactic East is the direction it rotates, the rest follows from there.)
Shouldn't take that long to get to Vulcan from Glasgow even without a starship.
Vulcan, Alberta, Canada, that is.
There's a Trek museum there because of the name. Leonard Nimoy went there and led a parade once.
That guy was so awesome!
