Saturday 22nd 51F, heavy overcast and windy. Another rainy day in prospect. It has stayed dry but windy so far at 09.30 A walk to the lanes. Warblers at intervals along the way. Quite chilly on my hands today due to the wind.
It seemed to rain for the rest of the day. Today's picture is of Garlic mustard. Similar to White dead nettle.
A Danish news story discusses growing public demand for taxation on house sale profits. With record increases in prices, property investors are making tax free billions.
Any idea of taxing these effortless "windfalls" was quickly quashed by the Danish, right wing politicooze. Anything which slowed the redistribution of wealth. From the countless Danish poor to the far fewer, filthy rich. Would set an ugly precedent.
It might not even be allowed under "Standard Reverse Robin Hood Policy," EU law. Taxation is strictly for the poor, working classes and small businesses. Nobody "important" pays any taxes. Otherwise they'd just go elsewhere.
Without inflated profits, <cough> property investors would no longer buy up all the desirable properties in every Danish [European and global] city. Who would do all their money laundering for them? Now the Danish bank affiliates have been warned off with massive negative publicity.
