Yes, gravity is a theory. In scientific terms, theories are proven, repeatable, and accepted. It’s the most robust and strongest form of scientific “fact” we have (since new discoveries can change our understanding, we can’t honestly declare it indisputably factual).
When people say “I have a theory…” they usually mean “I have a hypothesis…” which is some idea or problem statement that is unproven, untested, unverified.
OP was playing off the conflation of those two things.
A rule of thumb for invested money is that it doubles every 7 years. It’s possible that it’s more to do with time than the tax break. It was likely to happen anyway.
On the other hand, billionaire wealth isn’t just invested moneys, it’s usually corporate fuckery.
That said, let’s ACTUALLY tax the fuck out of it and put it to good use.
Disc golf.
Discs cost only $15-20 new, used ones can be only a few bucks, you only need one or a few to play, and most courses are free.
In reality, you keep buying new discs. And a bag to carry them. And more discs. And a bigger bag. Then a home basket. And a net to practice in. And more discs. Then a rack to hold the extra discs you can’t bag…. It adds up!
Curious: what makes Nord shady? Their model seemed similar to Proton when I was researching the two. What’d I miss?
