Realistically, the moon exerting less of a gravitational pull on the Earth will mean dampened tides, and potentially the loss of tide pool habitats. It may slow down some of the flooding from global warming? In addition, many animals have cyclical behavior tied to lunar cycles.

Let’s face it, 30,400 taxpayers isn’t enough. Plus the whole problem with a wealth tax is that if you set it too high, you’re going to drain people’s wealth down faster than the wealthy can increase their wealth, and then… voila, they aren’t wealthy enough anymore. We’ll see if the 10-year tail if you move passes dormant commerce clause / freedom of movement muster.
If there is a silver lining in this, this proposed wealth tax is the perfect experiment to see if there is an effect on professional athletes and free agency. Let’s see if LeBron wants to stay with the Lakers. The Clippers just signed a bunch of players (Paul George, Kahwi Leonard), and we’ll see how quickly they move in this tax environment. What about the other sports leagues?
I could care less about the empty headed Hollywood types. Athletes seem to respond to monetary incentives, and with the inflation of top end salaries, this will definitely be a hit on some of those salaries. On the MLB list alone, that’s Mike Trout, David Price, Manny Machado, Clayton Kershaw over $30M. Albert Pujols (!), Buster Posey, Justin Upton, Johnny Cueto, Eric Hosmer, Jeff Samardzija, Kenley Jansen, Brandon Belt, Khris Davis, Brandon Crawford, and Evan Longoria are over the $15M threshold. Granted, not all of that income = wealth, but presumably these guys saved a significant amount of that salary, especially the older guys.
On the NBA side, there’s Steph Curry, Lebron James, Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson, Paul George over $30M. Then Anthony Davis, Harrison Barnes (!), Kent Bazemore (!), Draymond Green, and JR Smith over $15M.
Don’t forget postage stamps.

The GOP are a bunch of idiots. There should be a voter registration booth in every gun shop. Not only do you have to be eligible to vote in order to buy a gun, but I’m assuming you’re motivated to buy a gun because you will also be motivated to vote in November.
Seriously, though. Forever stamps outpace inflation adjusted bonds, and a bunch of other asset classes. And they have an independent utility! I’m not arguing that guns and ammo aren’t valuable (they are), but don’t sleep on forever stamps.

Keep donating to her campaign so her new husband can get paid. She hates capitalism and America, but she’s a fast learner when it comes to American political corruption.
You left out the Kanye West convention. He can still get on the ballot in most swing states and some of the larger electoral college states.
