So you’re fine with tax collection being ineffective, got it. All taxation is theft and so on, right?

I have not seen once in my life a hotel that does anonymous leases. Because you could fuck up their shit and run. Where do you come up with those examples?

Wow, you found a universal tax fraud loophole that nobody did before - taxation is illegal invasion of privacy lol. You should consider career in accounting.

Ok, this is pointless, you’re advocating for tax fraud outright.

Can you rent a flat anonymously? Doesn’t that have to be reported for tax anyway? All of examples I’m seeing here are flat out tax fraud heaven.

I think you’re on some ideological crusade, I’m more into pragmatism.

Seems like your solution costs more than it brings to the budget and all that you’re gaining is false sense of privacy.

Have you ever bought a car? You can’t do it anonymously, you have to register it.

All of you guys focus on some billionaires, mafia bosses etc but we’re talking about 3k/10k EUR limits.

I’m asking how do you audit cash-heavy businesses doing petty tax fraud cost effectively?

3k EUR is not small income.

I’m not even sure what we’re trading it for. Illusion of privacy from your own state?

It’s an EU-wide thing now I think. Our car shops just say they can lower the price significantly if you pay by cash. Others just play dumb.

How are you going to audit cashless businesses that invoice one price and take another and how much is that going to cost? We’re talking about likely widespread issue that needs solving systemically, not with adhoc actions.

Ultra rich should be taxed up to their tits or ears but let’s not kid ourselves that 3k/10k EUR limit is going to affect anyone poor.

Ultra rich don’t evade taxes, they avoid them via good accountants legally. What this is supposed to prevent is small/medium tax fraud which really adds up.

I wasn’t talking about war on drugs, those should be decriminalized anyway.

What I keep seeing in my personal life is car repair shops, medical professionals and other businesses that usually charge a lot and then take cash only. It’s obvious why.

Tax evasion and money laundering rob all of us. I don’t like that we have to do this but it’s a necessary change.

MacOS is relevant to this specific issue. It’s an example of an OS that mitigated risk in a way that would be compliant with EU requirements Microsoft is blaming this on.

Linux has the same issue and was also affected by Crowdstrike earlier this year.

All that EU mandates is equal access to system features by the competitors.

What Microsoft is saying is that they would never fuck up like Crowdstrike did. That’s bullshit - they are human too and need security enforced at an architectural level. The other thing that Microsoft is saying is that they could not prevent this. That’s also bullshit because others did.

Windows and Linux allow third party apps to run at kernel / driver level and consequences of that are on those operating systems. It wasn’t even the first time this happened. Crowdstrike was responsible for similar issue on Linux earlier this year and it was also caused by a kernel module crash.

Apple doesn’t allow kernel / driver level access for apps and replaced those with API few years ago. It’s no coincidence Crowdstrike didn’t manage to break MacOS so far. There’s nothing stopping Microsoft from implementing something similar.

Obviously Crowdstrike is at fault here but so is Microsoft.

How are the decisions taken by the highier-ups related to workers unionizing?
