  1. @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdsInTheirElement, Alt theme is #Feather&Light

    Despite its many flaws this is one of my favourite rainbow shots because it shows the unbroken green that camouflages them despite their riotous fronts

    If it wasn't a lorikeet, it was probably going to be a kingfisher...

  5. For today's special, #featherlight, I submit this small fluffy cloud in a blue sky. If you're someone who sees shapes in clouds give an opinion. I think I see an astronaut with a helmet floating on his/her back. What say you? 'Federleicht' #FotoVorschlag #photography #cloud #sky #Pentax #P337

  7. Wealth tax on super-rich could raise $2tn globally, campaigners say

    Governments around the world copying Spain’s #wealth #tax on the #super-#rich could raise more than $2tn (£1.5tn), according to campaigners calling for the money to help finance the climate transition.

    As a growing numbers of countries consider raising taxes on the ultra-wealthy, the Tax Justice Network campaign group said in a report that evidence from a “#featherlight” tax on the 0.5% richest households in Spain could help raise trillions of dollars globally each year.

    The Spanish government, under the socialist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, introduced a temporary “solidarity” wealth tax in late 2022, which is collected in 2023 and 2024, on the net wealth of individuals exceeding €3m (£2.6m).
    It is estimated to apply to the richest 0.5% of households.

    The Tax Justice Network said applying a similar tax on the top 0.5% wealthiest households worldwide,
    at a rate of between 1.7% and 3.5%,
    would raise about $2.1tn.

    The study excluded some exemptions in the Spanish tax
    – including for shares in listed companies, intellectual property and industrial property, and some high-value assets such as boats and aircraft.
    It said as much as $31bn a year would be raised from the UK.
