Not sure why everyone’s selling CA’s billionaire tax like a car finance guy: “Only 1%!” Read it: one-time 5% wealth tax on net worth >$1B. “1%” is just the 5-year installment option. 👉The tax is 5%. Btw, the installment plan also includes a 7.5% annual deferral charge on the unpaid balance oag.ca.gov/system/files/init…

God I love Norway, but some policies and the attitude around success feel backwards and it creates a long term social problem with an immeasurable cost. 👉 They don’t celebrate success like they used to. And it’s a bad combo when the government’s reflex is to tax success harder, while a loud segment of people who aren’t building anything feel entitled to take it away. That mix doesn’t create fairness. It kills motivation. In the USA, you go to a party and people talk shop, share ideas, and cheer you on. You leave more motivated. In Norway, I too often find myself defending ambition like it’s something to apologize for. I still love Norway, but this mindset hurts the country long term. And here’s the part that worries me most. No amount of oil wealth or a sovereign wealth fund can reverse the long term effects of turning “build something” into a socially negative norm. Think about all the future innovators who never get the chance to feel that burning in your stomach, that can’t wait to wake up and conquer the world drive. That feeling is priceless. It’s worth more than all the oil in the world to protect and nurture it. #Norway
