As long as a single human being is homeless or hungry, billionaires should not exist.

[–] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 66 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Billionaires shouldn't exist. Period.

Technicaly That is very dependent on the value of currency current or future one

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago (7 children)

I guess it could be said that the sort of wealth disparity that we have shouldn't exist

My vote is for the punisher tbh

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would love to see someone come up with a simple, yet easy to parse in single color, graphic of punisher killing a cop that we could put next to the logo on those trucks.

So we're going to support a democratic system to tax people and service the underprivileged, right?

We're going to do that, right?

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Sounds good to me

We got all the dystopia and none of the cool futuretech.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Low latency cell phone coverage anywhere on the planet using LEO satellites is undeniably cool future tech.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I would like this but also have those phones have a no logs policy so they cannot be used to track you or figure out where you were previously, at least without your consent.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Exactly. I would like cybernetic arms and legs and eyes that let me scan everything. But instead we get the most boring dystopia.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The real question is how do you define best system. I bet those billionaires think this is in fact a pretty good system. Though they are probably never satisfied, so they wouldn't say best until they could snap thier fingers and a million people would start working to make whatever idea popped into thier head happen.

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Gatcha addicts.

All of them. Gambling addicts addicted to watching numbers grow.

No, see, I made all my money by inheriting it, and because I'm rich and wealthy that means that god must love me, and therefore I must be a good person inherently. People are poor because god doesn't love them, therefore they must be bad people. Duh. /s

The plan is going well. Now all we gotta do is convince all those sonobabiches to get on a Tesla rocket to Mars. As soon as that shit is outta here, we cut off communication and problem solved.

[–] Kvoth@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I do somewhat disagree with this. Don't get me wrong, I'm very much on the eat the rich train. But, while not due to elons personal "brilliance" space x has cut the cost of going to space by a huge amount. And so many amazing things have come out of the space program

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sure, if by "Elon's brilliance" you mean decades of Congress forcing NASA to outsource plus a whole lot of engineers none of whom are also CEO

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

while not due to elons personal “brilliance”

[–] Chekhovs_Gun@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Why can't we do both? How many billionaires are there? How many of them have their own space company? I'm no mathologist but something doesn't add up.
