One can avoid a wealth tax by living in another country.
I don't understand why this is necessarily true. What would stop the US from levying a wealth tax on US persons living abroad?
When will air travel from New York to Hong Kong no longer require arriving passengers to self-quarantine?
It's worse than that. If there weren't any shares available at your broker for you to short-sell in the market, you should consider it likely that instead of paying 0.4%/day, you just are told you have to buy shares to cover your short from assignment. This is an absolutely normal thing that happens sometimes when it's hard to find additional people to lend stock (which is happening now).
(Disclaimer: I am a financial professional, but I'm not a financial advisor, much less yours.)
Strictly speaking, they're not both laptop chargers, but laptop/phone/USB-C chargers. So two of them are useful on the road for charging laptop and phone simultaneously.
Not a physical object, but the Cloud9 IDE (now absorbed into Amazon's AWS suite) for programming work. If your work fits into a terminal plus text editor (which it probably does), then making the actual hardware be a cloud server instead of a laptop that can run out of charge is a big win, and being able to access your "real" machine from different interface machines is sometimes useful.
For the interface laptop itself, I've been very, very happy with a Google Pixelbook (which I got after many, many satisfied years with the original Chromebook Pixel), but that depends on whether you have tasks outside the browser, terminal, or text editor.
Separate travel toiletries from at-home toiletries. (The biggest win is not having to unpack exactly when you get home tired.) Similarly, separate travel phone/laptop chargers from at-home chargers, for same reason.
I haven't yet gone all the way to a separate set of travel clothes, but would like to, one of these years. The 80/20 version is making sure to lay out 1-2 full sets of clothes before going on the long trip.
(For reference, I spent maybe five weeks of 2019 traveling, though naturally 2020 has been much less than that.)
Ahem: a fifth laptop/USB-C charger. (One each for my couch, desk, and bedroom; two stay packed in my travel luggage.)
h/t to Zvi for making this suggestion in Dual Weilding, under the general heading of More Dakka.
The first two regulations have reference prices for wheat that differ by 50%. How far apart in time were they issued?
I'm being unnecessarily oblique in the above comment, for which I'm sorry.
What I mean is, in a taxable account, you have the option to donate winners and harvest capital losses on losers. In a post-donation investment vehicle like a DAF, you don't have that optionality. (Compared to a taxable account, your treatment on winners also comes out to no capital gains tax, but your treatment on losers is worse, with no harvesting losses.)

Clever, but it hasn't been tried for a good reason. If, say, the next five years of markets are all untethered from reality (but consistent with each other), there's no way to get paid for bringing them into line with expected reality except by putting on the trades and holding them for five years. (The natural one-year trade will just resolve to the unfair market price of the next-year-market market and there's nothing to do about it except wait for longer.)
The chained markets end up being no more fair than if they all settled to the final expiry directly.
