@Jordanhillphoto Oh yeah that's totally understood. That beach is officially referred to as Driftwood Beach by Jekyll Island as well. I just meant to point out how it was a misnomer.
I love that beach. I worked there in 2010-2011 and came back and got married there in 2018 (the tree I was married under can be seen as they arrive on the island in the movie The Menu).
@AvvieLanche @GodlessDoc @MeidasTouch Economically this does not hold up in a world of economic inequality. Middle and lower income households consume more as a proportion of income than upper income households. A flat 30% consumption tax would do more than the current system does to exacerbate inequality, regardless of changes to the cost of production.
It's nice to imagine that something as simple as a flat consumption tax would work to help those in need, but it is a pure fantasy.
@normative This sort of re-definition is a direct response to the use of intersectionality as a defense of Critical Race Theory. When defending Critical Race Theory I often invoke intersectionality as a way to demonstrate the unfairness of its demonization.
By redefining intersectionality like this they create a false familiarity among those we seek to build understanding with.
