@SteveJonesnono1@thecommongreen while we're on the subject of progressive ideas, can I bore everyone yet again with the simplest and most progressive tax of all? (And yes, of course, this is all within devolved competence.)
I just calculated everything we paid for #SubduedSocial hosting & domain registration this year so far, and our donation rate is looking good enough to cover costs with a bit of safety margin. So I went ahead and made a voluntary #LandTax donation to the Lhaq'temish Foundation equivalent to 10% of our hosting costs. I haven't found a way to do recurring donations to them or any other local native nonprofit, so I'll just do it periodically by hand. https://nativegov.org/news/voluntary-land-taxes/https://www.lhaqtemish.org/
#HappyThanksgiving everyone in #BellinghamWA and in particular on our #SubduedSocial Mastodon instance. In recognition that we live on the ancestral lands of our neighbors the #Lummi, #Nooksack, and other #CoastSalish peoples, I made another voluntary #LandTax donation to the Lhaq'temish Foundation equivalent to 10% of our hosting costs and domain registration fees over the past 6 months.
