  • Did you miss the “Slowly string up gays with a crane” memo from Iran?

    Did you miss the “Public executions” memo from Iran?

    Did you miss the “Torture prisons” memo from Iran? Seriously, look up “Evin Confess” on spotify, the singer actually spent some “fun vacation” in that place because they didn’t like his music much

    Seriously, the Iranian government is a fucked up government that needs to go. Same for Saudi Arabia, by the way, same shit, different name. These are repressive and violent regimes. Whatever fucked up thing the US and Israel are doing has nothing to do with that, doesn’t change anything about that. And yes, the Israeli government too is evil and fucked up and too has to go because they just seem unable to stop genociding because they like it too much.

    What is up with you idiots trying to protect these horrible creatures? Why?



  • Nah, just 10M wealth caps…

    Management is free to give you a 100M bonus! If your current worth is 1M, 91M of that bonus will go to taxes and you receive 9M and after that, all goes to taxes.

    If you have shares, and the value of those shares goes up? You’ll have to pay the taxes over that, sell some shares, and pay money to taxes. And yeah, companies would simply need boat loads of small shareholders.

    And no, 100M is already way too much. If you need investment for bigger things, maybe think independent, government funded investment companies that could be a thing?



  • it shouldn’t even be legal for corporations to own other corporations.

    100% agree

    And again, you can enforce this by relying on the little people that the executives don’t even recognize as human. Does a CEO formally have $10 million to their name, but they have exclusive use of a $100 million mansion provided by their company? Fine, let the janitor rat him out, and in turn the janitor will end up owning that mansion.

    These are some forms of possible cheats, yes, but again ask the question: does it make sense? Why would anyone permit the CEO of the company where they are a shareholder to live in a 100 million dollar mansion if it won’t get you anything? That CEO won’t get you anything more than 10M. The only way it would work is that those at the top of that company would get luxury things from the company while the company itself doesn’t have the resources to survive because the limited resources went to the CEO.

    In any case, this was just a single rule, feel free to add a few more :)

    Person wealth cap at 10M

    Company wealth cap at 1B

    Company employee cap at 1000


  • Uh huh, but it doesn’t work like that. Somebody has to own that lambo at some point, be it a person or company. You could have 100 people pool together half their resources and have half a billion dollar company that rents out lambos but at that point, what is the point of it all?

    If in that universe, with wealth caps, somebody wants to show off with a Lamborghini, go ahead, its dumb. You’re sinking boat loads of money into showing off to other people that you’re just as rich as they are.

    Either way, that doesn’t matter. Nobody can cross the 10M line, nobody is stupid rich, governments get huge incomes, to me it sounds like a great change

    What I meant is that I have a list of about 7000 songs on spotify that I have built over the years, I would like to have THAT list of music. If I go to a self hosted option, that is great, but without the media, worthless… I can download all the music that I want, but that will be a ginormous amount for a tiny amount of songs that I actually like. I’m already hosting a huge movie library, but I fear I might need hundreds of TB more storage to save all the music that I want :)

    I guess I’m looking for a “download only these songs/albums/bands from this spotify list” type thing
