Then who pumps the well?
Progressive taxes just mean that at the highest levels more income is going to redistribution. At all other levels there is still incentive to work.

Anyone who makes like 100 million dollars and thinks to themselves "this isn't enough money to stop working and just enjoy life" has something seriously wrong with them. The billionaire class will never be happy, and it's time for society to stop letting these loonies ruin society to satisfy their insanity.
I think it is far to keep working if you love what you are doing. To filter, there should be an absolute cap on wealth at a few hundred million dollars. This would eliminate the incentive to manipulate politics in favour of yourself, but if you want to keep working you should be doing it for society via charity or taxes on anything additional that is earned.
Have a nice ceremony and present a medal for winning capitalism.
A UK doctor friend mentioned they believed a lot of people being prescribed anti-depressants were suffering from "shit life syndrome" rather than real depression. This wasn't to belittle the issues but rather to highlight the issues they maybe facing, which society doesn't deem valuable enough to fix and the GP is one of the only perceived options they have for help.
It’s almost like we are not optimizing society for human flourishing.

> I don't think I've ever seen the 20mcg rec
The 20mcg rec (the wrong rec) is quite literally on every single nutrition label in America that has Vitamin D. Maybe you haven’t noticed it. Surely you’ve seen it if you’re in the U.S.

> What was the math error that led to this? And I'm curious now how to get 8000 IU. Just take a bunch of pills all at once in the morning?
Read the paper I posted. And it is easy to find 5000iu and 10000iu capsules at a drug store.

If you hold so rigid to the current rules of grammar, you’ll miss out on some truly beautiful works. Many poems, and almost all of Cormac McCarthy.
