  • For those who don’t know, “Box 3” is such a shitshow. The government wanted to tax wealth growth without tax payers having to calculate it exactly, so they set a fixed calculation rate for everyone. Your wealth will grow x% and the tax on that growth is another percentage. The fixed growth rate was on the low end and nobody complained. Then economic growth stagnated and the calculating rate was now higher than actual, so these rich fucks all went to court and demanded billions of ‘overpaid’ taxes. All the years they paid too little, not a peep. Now they’re upending the whole tax system. Stupid law and selfish rich pricks, what else is new

    And thus, companies get away with shitty anti-customer policies. And now it’s the customer’s fault for being understandably mad about it? These policies sucks for everyone. I think “customers should be nicer to service workers” is the wrong conclusion, because they have nowhere else to go with their complaints, and that’s by design. Why don’t we put the blame with company higher-ups shitting on their own customers every day, hiding behind others to deflect criticism?

    I’m not talking about weird entitled assholes. But about customer facing workers with no agency. They’re just robots repeating company policy. It sucks for them and for the customer
