You mean those things that Republicans always whine about when some law comes on place that is good for everyone?
Yeah those van go fuck themselves


Is it me or is the Cheetos purposely driving the US into a civil war? Like, I would immediately believe it of evidence shows up that trump was paid by Putin to kill the US, but the more and more o see him doing this shit, I really believe he’s purposely trying to wreck that shit hole country
Sort of
I still love open source software and tinkering and building my own software
Anything closed source can go pound a bag of dicks


Also US:
Why is our tourism dead? Why does nobody want to visit our shit hole country anymore?


according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that ugrgent action ha.cms become essential.
I guarantee you that that 0.001% agrees, there are too many of them, that should be 0.00001% instead
Fuck the rich!
I call for hard limits on personal networth and the worth of companies
No single person should be able to control more than 10M, companies shouldn’t be worth over 1 billion
Anything over that, goes to taxes.
It’s a single basic rule that requires more rules below for sure to ensure it works well, but this should be codified in a world wide constitution.
This way, nobody gets crazy amounts of money, nobody will have to be poor because the government will have a huge income that it can use for universal healthcare, education, universal basic income, etc…
Crime would go down the drain because nobody NEEDS to be a criminal anymore. There will still be a few anti social elements but good luck finding people wanting that life if they can just have a good, safe, and happy life.
Bribery and corruption? How even, and why take the risk?
There is no logical reason why anyone should have to be allowed to control this much wealth.
Investment companies must all be dismantled and all their funds transferred to independent non profit organisations that, again, won’t be able to control more than over a billion. Government can transfer money to these foundations so that loads of people can have investments for startups or whatnot
We’d need similar simple rules for governments too. All governments must be democracies, and all should follow a world constitution where we have a few basic rules that make sure nobody will ever get too much power.
It doesn’t require a lot of changes at the top. Basically these three rules, all the rest flows out of those rules. We can keep capitalism and use it’s raw power to generate resources for everyone.
What this needs is political will, this needs people to want this, need this.
That is the problem though, isn’t it?
We’re at a point that AI is shoved hard in everything and your mother, yet actual useful applications for AI barely get any attention.
It’s all about the useless and criminal like chat bots, nudifier apps, and the hilarious claims that AI really can do software development
It’s all pushed by lying psychopaths who convince empty headed politicians (seriously, we need a required IQ test or something for people who want to become politician) to invest billions in their bubble balloons.
Those billions are them used to build new datacenters that nobody wants and which destroy the environment in all sorts of creative ways
This is not a tool used wrong. This is somebody inventing guns and now everybody wants to shoot those guns at everything and your mother.
If tomorrow AI and the knowledge we have about it would completely disappear from the world, it would be a better place.


None of that seems very hard
Find other people and invest with a group. You’ll end up with loads of companies with lots of small shareholders. If your shares become worth souch that you go over the 10M, you’ll have to sell some or have some taxes for taxes.
Maybe have governments fund independent investment foundations that can help setup startups
This isn’t even a utopia, it’s literally current capitalism with a small set of core rules added that will make a huge difference between now and how it could be.
It could be that nobody has to be poor anymore. Governments will have huge incomes so loads of money for socialist projects like free education and healthcare and housing.
The few problems I’ve seen mentioned so far, to me, are literally details that follow from the core rules.
Nobody can be worth more than X (and for now, say that X is 10M) and companies cannot be worth more than Y (let’s say 1 billion dollars). Both values can be +/- 5% if you hover at the limit, that doesn’t really matter much. What does matter is that we’re now finally all equal and still have capitalism as the core engine, allowing for all the freedoms we have today


I believe it’s just mental illness


And? A crime boss wannabe committed crimes!
You don’t say!


Oh come on, you don’t really believe that Nazi shit, do you? That is beyond transparent and dumb and … FFS, it just pisses me off that people can be THAT dumb.
And you still call a multi year wat a “special operation”? I thought even Putin stopped calling it that, too obviously bullshit, but apparently there are still IQs out there measured i shoe sizes.
That the thought entered your head is one thing, but that it left your mouth (well fingers) is just shamefully stupid.


You want companies to stop supporting and using your shitty standard? Because that is how you get customers ntonstop using your standard and by extension, your companies


I meant to say 100%. After, say, 10 million, 100% goes to tax
For retirement, everyone gets a pension from the government.
I don’t care if some people are slightly richer than other, almost nobody does, but for centuries now we’ve permitted insane levels of riches, that has got to stop


No they don’t, it’s a really REALLY bad idea.
Think about it. If you win, you will win a nuclear hell scape that will cost you huge amounts of money to control and maintain, awesome!
I’ve had similar issues using CSF firewall. They just pushed out updates that apparently support docker a little better but I still have to fight with that to get that working, I don’t know if that will fix it, but give it a try


Anything networh over 10 million should be taxed 100%. hard stop, hard cap.
Companies too should now be able to grow beyond 1 billion in net worth. Anything over that, 100% tax
NO MORE MULTIMILLIONAIRES! NOT ANYWHERE


I’m somewhat split on this
Basically you’re right, the US should not dictate what other countries transport between themselves, but…
There are more than enough materials that indeed should not be allowed to be shipped anywhere. Heroine is one of those materials, there is no good application for that, period. Anything needed for actual medical or research purposes can be acquired via other channels. Two countries wanting to transport cocaine are up to no good, thatuch should be obvious.
The bigger problems are that these assholes act as if criminals are the same as a country. You’re not at war with criminals, we have a justice system for that. Criminals go to court, and a judge and jury will sentence them and their main function is not to incarcerate the criminal, it’s to ensure the innocent aren’t incarcerated. You just cut all that away and started murdering possible criminals, but definitely a bunch of innocent citizens.
Murdering innocent civilians is nothing new for the US, but it is new that it is done so brazenly, so openly, and worst of all, with pride.
And basically nothing is done to stop this. These no kings protests had a net zero effect, nothing changed
How the fuck did people flvote for that?.did they really already forget?
