Oh I didn't realize that was a thing. I don't think that exist for this though.

Great game that I never completed because it's too good of a work simulator that it started stressing me out

I'm not assuming that. I'm just explaining the rationale behind tax progressivity. A 20% flat income tax is not regressive by definition. It sucks but its not regressive because that term refers to something specific.

I'm well aware of what marginal utility is and why it's not really equal pain which is why I used the quotes.

You're right in thinking that in practice, but to my understanding it's usually in context of "equal pain" so a 20% tax burden on income would be equally "painful" to the poor and wealthy (without accounting for avoidance).

When you're talking about a sales tax on necessities like food and shelter then an equal rate is regressive because it represent a larger share of the poor person's available income.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly

I don't think anyone legitimately calls for a flat 100% inheritance tax across the board. But if that we're the case then it wouldn't be regressive since it's affecting everyone equally regardless of the wealth they stood to inherit. In practice, the wealthy would have a lot of incentive to hide assets through illegitimate means or loopholes which would make it effectively regressive if the less wealthy do not have the means to do the same.

On the other hand, a 100% marginal rate make more sense as an interpretation of what you're saying (I haven't heard it suggested so I'm just guessing). eg. After 20 or 50 million or whatever threshold the rate is 100% to avoid generational "empires" from being passed on. In that case, that's just a very progressive tax.

In both situations, the tax can be used to lessen wealth inequality but the first is a bit more of a social decision instead of just a means of reducing inequality.

If only there was a group of people passionate about the color blue.

You probably already know this but in case you don't, tahini sauce also goes great with falafel and is the traditional sauce for it. It goes amazing with the other ingredients you listed in pita bread (greens and tomatoes specifically).

I'm sorry at this point if you don't see that Trump is a harmful idiot at best then I don't know what to tell you. Also, fuck Biden too in case you think this is a US republican vs democrat thing because it's not. People here are mostly left leaning and that extends beyond US politics and their democratic party. Is that a bad thing? Possibly but prominent self identified right wingers on the internet don't really offer very compelling reasons to listen to them in all honesty.

Depends on what you want out of the game. CP is a function of attack, defense and HP of the species and its specific IVs of that pokemon.

However, CP on its own is useless. Eg. Slaking has the highest non-Mega CP in the game at 5K+ and is a piece of shit because it has a horrible fast attack.

This game is horrible at telling you whats good but generally high atk bulky pokemon tend to do best (since there no speed stat).

If you're looking to play ideally then dont power anything up unless its a good species AND has good IVs (High 3 star to 4 star).

Order of importance: Species > Moveset within that species > IVs

Since startdust is so hard to accumulate dont be afraid of keep high cp/level pokemon with bad IVs for general use while saving your dust for the best of the best. Realistically if something is a high 3 star its good enough but a lot time you will find a better one before you get enough candy to power it up to lvl 40 (let alone XL candy for lvl 50)

In short: dont power up that jumpluff or anything that isnt the best in its type (usuallu legendaries, megas, dragons/pseudolegendaries) or do it anyways because theyre cute. Stardust is not finite it just takes a long time to accumulate.
