Uhh… did they just figure this out now? Because the other 8+ billion of us have known this for years, and have been screaming about how this is a really terrible thing. The entire population of earth has never been in agreement about anything before and we’ve never ever been corrected about anything before, but here we are.
In fact, a great many of us have tried to stop it from happening in the first place, but every single last one of our leaders were too busy rolling around in billionaire cash to give a fuck, and, well, here we are.
Where was the UN human rights chief then? Probably at some fancy dinner hosted by a Elon Musk, or one of his compatriots. or on some mega yacht, getting 1000 blowjobs per second paid for by billionaires. Or, very likely, on Epstein Island fucking children paid for by billionaires.
Starting to see a pattern here?
If everyone on earth worth more than $5 million were suddenly killed and all their money/assets were redistributed to the public, you know what would happen?
THE WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE
And until then, happens, humanity will destroy itself. But when it does, we have a bright future ahead of us.
I vote for this guy for president for two reasons.
This guy gets it
And 2) Look at my alternatives. We all know trump is going to be the 2028 candidate despite that not being legal. I’m at a point where I don’t even think he’s going to use corruption to change the law. I think he’s just going to run, and nobody will do anything to stop it. As far as the democrats go, I don’t know who they’ll run, but I know they’ll be worthless. Probably Tim Walz or some shit.
So yeah, I got nothing to lose and everything to gain by voting for this random guy who may not even be eligable to run for president due to not being American. But hey, laws won’t exactly be the top priority in the 2028 election anyways.
Many are trying, though options are severely limited by the fact that, two years ago, the entire US government was gift-wrapped and handed to fascists by a bunch of democrats who figured “why bother?”
I don’t know who they’ll run, but I know they’ll be worthless
It sounds like you think there won’t be presidential primaries. Or perhaps you think you aren’t allowed to vote in them? You are. And what’s more, since participation is quite low historically your vote likely has quite a bit more influence in the primary than in the general election.
No, I know I’ll be allowed to vote in the primaries. I also have zero faith that any worthwhile option will be allowed to run. So, vote between worthless option number 1, or worthless option number 2.
On top of all that, I’m still not convinced it’s not rigged from the start. Joe Biden in 2020 wasn’t considered a real option. He was in 5th place and assumed to drop out shortly. Bernie Sanders had a significant lead. Then, in the timespan of 3 days, Biden was far and away the clear cut leader. I’ve not since that day held any faith in the DNC.
Preface:
Sorry for the wall of text.
It’s all just drunken rants, and I doubt any of it is meaningful.
If everyone on earth worth more than $5 million were suddenly killed and all their money/assets were redistributed to the public, you know what would happen?
THE WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE
Yes. Unfortunately such measures are blocked by both science and functional governments.
There is no way to place such stringent limits on anything. “Owning more than 2 dildos” is a silly law, because anything is a dildo if you are brave enough.
“Owning more that 5m is assets means you get killed” is a silly law, because a massive financial upheaval (suddenly having your dildo collection massively appreciate is value) would mean so many people killed or having to be revived (ie, when your £10m collection of dildos suddenly is valued at £2m… Very distressing).
I think it’s more of a “you have won capitalism” tax.
10m per person + 2m per child. Or something like that.
That’s the cap. Beyond that is taxed at 99%.
Earn 100million? You keep 1 million.
Higher taxes on extra homes and actual luxury goods and services (private jets etc).
Have an EAT: Essentials Added Tax of 0% (or remove taxes on things like tampons, deodorant, toothpaste & brushes, body soap & shampoos, toilet paper, condoms… Things that promote hygiene). Have a SAT (survival added tax) of like 5% on fresh veg, bread, meat, eggs and milk (things required to live). And have VAT (value added tax) of like 10% on things that ADD VALUE to the essential survival things (bread, ready meals, cookies etc). Then have an LAT (luxury added tax) of 20% on fancy things. And have an FAT (fatality added tax) of 50% on things like cigarettes, alcohol, fast food, sugar, processed foods… All the modern bullshit. Then an EAT (existential-threat added tax) for things like petrol, diesel, natural gas, methane, ethane etc.
did they just figure this out now? Because the other 8+ billion of us have known this for years, and have been screaming about how this is a really terrible thing. The entire population of earth has never been in agreement about anything before
Well, it takes actual studies and scientific proof to enact meaningful change.
While the billionaires can just pay for that change via lobbying.
Politicians are not specialists on anything. So they rely on specialist. And billionaires can serve up “specialists” in the right place at the right time to get their own opinion valued more than common sense and general opinion.
Billionaires can own entire “impartial councils”, they can (do?) own the news cycle, they can saturate media with their opinion to the point that “scientists confirm Y, but public opinion goes against Y”.
See the whole climate change denial and greenwashing, I think there is the same going on with “open source” Vs actual open source, the whole “AI is the future, AGI is here, don’t lose the AI war” bullshit. Next up will be water, we are getting to the point where it’s all about water (but probably not for citizens).
And yet, the requirements to refute all the bullshit require SO much more work and investment than is required to generate the bullshit.
I don’t know what the solution is. When companies are “worth” more than countries, there is no way a country can compete. Even sectors of a country (IE “local councils”).
They just get bought out. And all these bought-and-paid-for (previously) trusted sources become untrustworthy, but the evidence lags the actions making them untrustworthy… Of course society slowly gets dragged down to the worst of it.
Maybe that’s the takeaway:
Nobody can predict everything. So the established and trustworthy things get corrupted faster than the corruption can be revealed in an indisputable way.
There is no way to prevent the corruption, it can’t be predicted.
OK, I definitely skipped your well of text (no offense) because I’m also very drunk and high. I also understand your point without needing to have it explained to me. That $5 million limit was absurdly low. Let’s raise it to $1 billion in personal assets.
Does the entire calculus of your position change significantly at that point?
Of course, I understand that it would require a massive structural restructuring of the entirety of society that would take decades upon decades. But a little bit of revolution, or a lot, is kind of the point here.
Ah, it was part rant that misinformation is difficult to disprove before it drops out of the public awareness. And that also applies to harmful policies: they are easier to bulldoze into action than a well thought out social/progressive policy.
But I do agree that a “you have won capitalism for your generation and your children” wealth cap is needed.
It’s probably like 10 million per person in the family, 5 million of liquid cash and 5 million of investment.
Still very generous.
And yeh. So many “please don’t riot or mob us to death” policies and mechanisms are also being suppressed, bypassed etc.
If those are no longer useful, maybe a return to riots and mobs is in order

I want wealth caps, 10 million max for a single person and any income after that goes 100% to taxes
It is a simple change that will change the world
this is completely fine, i don’t ever see myself worth 10 million and id be fucking ecstatic if i was
no one should be worth more
I’d wager it’s significantly less than even one billion people who know and do anything like that.
If I were a ferengi, I would be loving this whole setup.
If.

I am drunk and stoned, and even I damn well know that is some crazy shit you just said

I just want to say I’m drunk and high and read neither of your messages beyond the first bit. I’m sure it was a deep and meaningful exchange though.
Uuhh… cheers?

Hello drunk and high, I am dad.
