    simple solutions don’t solve complex problems, and complex solutions solve complex problems. But complex solutions are generally pretty shitty solutions.

    You should strive to have a simple problem, and then find a simple solution. Otherwise you get BMW cars.

      The problem is what it is. Redefining the problem so it’s simple is not a solution to the fucking problem.

      “You should strive to have a simple problem”. Fuckin hell kind of MBA babble is that. Yeah maybe in business where you can make money by inventing “problems” and then inventing solutions to them, but not when it comes to real-life social issues.

      The problem exists. It is complex. We need to fix it.

        a simple solution is a solution to the problem, it’s redefining the problem in such a manner, to make the solution possible. It’s called compromise. A thing that exists in either one of these situations. In complex solutions you compromise by making a shitty solution mostly cover a shitty problem, in a simple solution you make it comprehensively cover the problem, and in a simple manner, but it doesn’t cover the whole problem, because the problem is simple.

        The problem here is that tax is overwhelmingly complex, we just need to forcibly simplify it in a manner that makes it more functional, and more apt, while not losing too much control. It’s absolutely possible. It’s just scope control.

          That’s called a complex solution
