just tacking on another tax isn't going to achieve much of anything.
If it's a vacancy tax, renting it out becomes the rational choice, which would lower rent prices when everyone does it. Perhaps that would also affect property prices on a longer term. I think it could work, if it's done right.
Sure, sure. I'm just saying that something like that is expected. Politicians aren't going to fall from grace over donations, obviously. This doesn't mean, necessarily, that Friedman is being protected. But people should keep up with the story as it develops instead of UFO nonsense.
Don't know what you're talking about, although one can be both German and Jewish.
My point is that nobody hated Oppenheimer prior to this movie, he was already thought of as a tragic guy, so it makes no sense that the film's purpose was to rehabilitate his image. His popular image didn't need rehabilitation.
My guess is that Nolan wanted to make a biopic with a known name of whom not much is known, and fell in love with the idea of filming a practical effect that looked like a nuclear explosion.
rehabilitate Oppenheimer's image
Who cares about that? Nobody thought of him before the movie. His popular image was as some tragic man who was sad about what he had made.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I have seen a short documentary about him because of it, and I've seen him clearly say that Hiroshima/Nagasaki was more force than he would have chosen, although he does not regret making the bomb since it was necessary to beat the other powers to it.
The graffiti is factually wrong.
