Tell that to these guys:

Typically for direct connections (see this FAQ entry), the latency is around 50 ms. The pre- and post-processing of the live video stream is more than that, which you will also experience when flying in the original set-up (over Wi-Fi).
For more staged setups, there's always MAVproxy
very cool stuff, i stand corrected

There are a lot of anti drone defense systems at this point

This is where God gets to prove he's real, and he's on the side of the people. If it's true, Venice will finally sink into the sea and become a legend, like Atlantis.
If that happens, I'll finally go to church every Sunday. Hear me God? That's what it will take.
Once this doesn't happen remember that god is not real and that destiny it's in your hands.

It's trivial to design an inheritance tax that doesn't tax a family's (first) home and starts above a certain amount (500k, a million, two, make it 10 for all I care) that still allows lower and middle classes to build reasonable wealth. It's also not that hard to not have a million loopholes for the excessively rich. That only gets difficult when people fall for the usual lies, like "businesses will close down and you will lose your jobs".
Start penalizing tax havens like Ireland.
Tax based on passport, allow for taxes at their place of residence to take priority (so, you can pay low taxes in Ireland, but if it's less than our tax, you pay the rest here), tax them a lot if they relinquish their passport. No need to start international beef about this.

Why are you trying to ingratiate yourself to billionaires that would squash you under their heel in an instant like an ant and not bat a fucking eye?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I literally don't care what he's doing as long as he doesn't do illegal tax evasion. He's not a bad person if he adhers to the laws. He had a big wedding, so what? Why do you even care? If think this is unfair go vote...

He's renting it from the interest and profits he gets from those stocks. I'm paying tax on the gains I get from my stocks and so should he.
Interest and profits from the stocks? Can you elaborats?

You know that income tax and capital gains tax are not the only kinds of tax, right?
There is no capital gains tax. There is tax on realized capital gains, which is income. Can you elaborate what you mean? I might be wrong.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Nah man, billionaires shouldn't exist. It is literally impossible to amass that type of wealth without exploiting (stealing surplus value from) people working for you. Aside from that, it is more money than a person could ever spend and takes huge amounts of money out of the economy, slowing the velocity of money.
You should care, because it actively harms the economy to have that kind of wealth hoarding.
And I do vote, but that doesn't help in a broken system built by people like this to enable and encourage exploitation. Do you really think that the people in power actually wish to hold people like this accountable? Of course they fuckin don't, they're the same goddamn people.
I work in tax and i can tell you the tax systems are broken once you pass a certain level of wealth most of us will never achieve in our lifetimes. This is by design.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]You are wrong in terminology. Capital gains tax is not the same as income tax. The “realized“ term you mentioned is already redundant with the “gains”. If it’s unrealized there is no gain.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_gains_tax
However, it’s also possible to tax capital itself. This is normally referred to as a wealth tax
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_tax
You seem to be under the impression that these existing categories are the only kinds of tax that can exist. In reality, it’s entirely possible to structure taxes in any way that people can devise.
