I have a piece of gold in hand.  I have one of the best pieces of gold on the planet.  However, I don’t quite know what gold is. Plus, I don’t quite know how to buy and sell gold.  Plus, once I have bought and sold the gold, I am completely screwed, to put it simply, I am broke.  So, what do I do?

Wilmington staff proposes living-wage pay philosophy tied to 60% AMI; full implementation would cost millions
Staff proposed a living-wage policy that sets the minimum city salary to 60% of area median income (about $45,531/year for a single household), which staff estimated would cost roughly $14.6M to implement from the general fund and could require a worst-case tax-rate adjustment equivalent of 4.1¢ if no offsets are found.

Diamonds: 1.5% tax 💎
Biscuits: 18% tax 🍪
When luxury is taxed less than survival, the system needs a hard rethink.

Irony of the system ⚖️ 1.5% tax on diamonds, 18% tax on a poor child’s biscuit. When luxury becomes cheaper than necessity, look at the slab… see the scam.
