A tell from the Manhattan Project was that scientists who had been publishing about nuclear fission suddenly stopped publishing.

Many taxes are stupid, but there's a special category of stupid for stamp duties and other transaction taxes.
A well designed tax is like increasing the slope of a road. The cars need to work harder to climb it, they're slower, consume more fuel but they climb it nonetheless. A transaction tax is like throwing sand in the engine and arguing it's not a problem because the grain of sands are so small.
