Nordic Taxes, High Rates
June 5, 2022
A table on Nordic marginal tax rates showed steep personal-income burdens across Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The numbers felt unusually heavy
Backing the Private Sector Over a Welfare State
9:15 p.m.
See! I don't like socialist countries because welfare states generally lead to a loss of competitiveness and can result in higher unemployment.
We want to always encourage the private sector.
Even if it's set at 35 public to 65 private. This is more like 30 - 70.
People will want to be part of the private sector. They want to succeed.
The earnings will be higher with the private sector, which will attract more people for better careers.
Even if we are expecting high tax revenues:
much of this income will be used to pay off our debts.
TO BE FRANK:
$50 billion dollars is not all that much.
We should be able to manage.
When we do, much of this will be used to make sure we are hyper competitive, well positioned and this translates into more wealthy citizens.
Why Halo Episode Nine Deserved Five Out of Ten
9:30 p.m.
It's time for my dinner.
I'm watching the last Halo TV series episode. Episode 9. It's not that great. It got a 7 on IMDb. I'd give it a 5.5 because it's boring. I am also angry it has diverted heavily from the original Halo story.

I would have expected better fighting scenes, more like a video game. The video game's fights were really good. This SUCKED. It SUCKS. I don't like it.
Maybe a 5.5 or 5 out of 10.
This guy's acting is bad, even if he is an okay actor because the story and script sucks, it's really awful.
I am very picky.
I wish it focused more on something like Forerunner, Precursor or Flood storyline or something like that, as opposed to this.

I love how, Spartans can jump from a high altitude like ODST, but they take no damage on landing impact!

Smarter Game AI, Harder Enemies and Realistic Damage
10:00 p.m.
(c)
I think, the next steps for video gaming. Will be. We make the ai, sort of mirror human behavior. This is quite easy now to do.
With meta, using FB data for digital avatars, it's easier for a metaverse adoption of virtualized avatars, or even for an ai variant of those avatars, as those behaviors replicate/ recycle.
See, the enemy ai, they should be given better scripting, so they can go move around independently.
So, this means we have to as player 1 and 2, be more adaptive as well.
So, their paths are undefined, they will randomize.
This makes for more interesting experiences.
I also see, that it should not have to be, the enemy unit is so easy to kill. It should be the in-game enemy unit, is easier to kill with good strategy.
I see, generally, with progression, enemy units become easier to kill, when it should be they become gradually more difficult.
I also wish, there was more enjoyment in the gaming experience.
I think it should be possible, to build a virtual skeleton (physics), a liquid blood circulatory with vital organs (bio chemistry), to simulate better damage impact. So, you can "go for the eyes" more.
Remembering the Halo Needler and Switching to Xbox
10:15 p.m.
I remember picking up the Covenant Needler in Halo! : )
I remember seeing Halo on Guinness Book of World Records in school, CIS, as a popular best selling game. I switched from Sony or Nintendo to Xbox.
