The anticipation of the apocalypse is as old as western civilization itself, but our fears didn't take on a distinctly technological flavor until one specific event: the First World War.

If this law passes no confidence the state of CA survives in its historical form. All entrepreneurial ventures will leave and or form outside the state.
In-N-Out is a family business that has never taken outside capital. A wealth tax like California Proposition 40 would not only take 5% of the company; it would change the fundamental kind of business In-N-Out is allowed to be.

Wealth Taxes Could Kill Privately-Owned Companies
Ignoring the intangible value of private governance of firms not only makes wealth taxes confiscatory but erodes the very foundations and benefits of the freedom to create organizations.

This is a really, really, really good and thought-provoking article, and it's not paywalled.
The best parts of In-N-Outs’s corporate strategy — hiring local kids instead of migrant workers, refusing to franchise and maintaining quality, etc. — are only possible because it’s family-owned.
A wealth tax would kill In-N-Out Burger.

@mcuban and @RoKhanna recently got into a fight over California’s proposed billionaire wealth tax.
I think the argument missed the more existential problem at the heart of the proposal: it could make sovereign control of companies functionally illegal.
The essay explores this problem using @lynsi_snyder and her control of In-N-Out as the central example. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks to @palladiummag and @SamoBurja for working with me on the piece.

Glad to see this piece by @CityAngelos finally go live.
Insightful read on private companies (and In and Out) and hoe decision sovereignty goes unpriced
