In india we used to have a paise which was a squircle

I do it all the time

America used to tax billionaires already in the 1900s. Nothing new to invent here.

daycares have kids on Sundays?

vote for him in the next election too? I don’t know i am just predicting what USians will do.

at this point it should be called the Trump files. Epstein looks meek compared to this monster

I have a simple fix but that which is difficult by virtue of momentum of the people. Don’t visit corporate websites. Avoid google, microsoft, meta, reddit, youtube. Its much more difficult to avoid: whatsapp and maybe messenger if your family is on it. I would argue for photos and online drive, proton is good but i guess the CEO is trying to become/has become a tech bro like the others. so you have to figure out if alternatives like immich (self hosting) or other hosting providers are not fascist.

We should talk about these alternatives all the time to get them into everyday lingo such that people recommend those to others.

i felt like epstien is just the ghost writer. Trump wanted to own that shit.

they should be responding with JDAMs on Mar-a-Lago

you’re still flowing with the crowd… just in the opposite direction. So that just makes you a dumb contrarian with no original thought

“brat” is such a milquetoast description for a human trafficking rapist pedophile

I wonder how he spends his days nowadays apart from xhitting

Billionaires don’t have billions in their bank accounts. That’s not how wealth works.

This is a strawman argument used by dishonest business types who think everybody else is dumb about how wealth works. Nobody is saying billionaires have billions in their bank accounts.

The vast majority of it is tied to property and businesses

Right you are on the same page as the rest of the people arguing against the existence of billionaires.

The number of properties held by a person should be limited to one. Ideally having a clause saying that it has to be on rent for a regulated price. And individuals cannot own a majority of business unless it’s a one man job. I would like the world to head towards worker owned cooperatives instead of 0.01% hoarding 90% of the wealth.

Thinking that just because one could comfortably retire that they should is kind of like telling a runner to stop running after having completed their first marathon. They’re a runner - runners run.

So the entire neo-liberal thesis is that we should reward psychopaths. That’s kind of a non-starter for sustainable living.

A person who became a billionaire views making money the same way. It’s what they do. It’s what they’re good at and derive meaning from.

I can’t begin to tell you the enormous amount of problems with this statement with regards to somebody’s mental health. You can’t be a billionaire without causing suffering to other people. Without leaving somebody else with the short end of the stick. Kindness is alien to people who think this is okay and should be encouraged. This level of worship of money is quite deviant because civilization evolved and thrives on cooperation, not on some misconstrued notion that a single person can derive so much “value” such that they can demand 99% or more of wealth.>

except you’re logic fails in the past. The dude with the gun got subdued by the unarmed dude. And in America a bunch of dudes with guns with license to kill didn’t stop the killing of children in Uvalde.

ok i stepped onto that one myself.

the occasional consumption of anime with subs helps me pick up words here and there. But I can tell its tough to learn
