One of the first things Trump did his first term was gut the USDA's rural investment arm. Why? Because if his supporters were made poorer and more frustrated they would blame it on someone else and be more likely to turn out to vote. It worked. Probably doesn't help Fox didn't report on it.
Yea. It's like some kind of masochism but like without the self awareness.
I'm partial to this version:
That guy must really love Cookie Clicker.
Yeah the homeless are buying his ballroom, nametags for existing institutions, and his crypto scams
the problem extends much further beyond trump, sadly!
Yep. At least 535 heads deep just at the capitol
Because it's never about money. If we take each billionaire and distribute their wealth equally, I'll be like $1000/person. It could be life changing for some, but in reality it won't change much.
Here's the good shit you might not be ready for: Money should be abolished completely.
Money is basically a tool we use to allocate finite resources, but we can come up with a much better alternative.
To begin with, food, shelter, healthcare, water and education should all be provided to every single person of the world as a matter of priority. There is no practical reason for these things to be artificially scarce, we already have enough for everyone, but the profit motive gets in the way.
For things which are genuinely scarce, we could handle in a lot of different ways. We could centrally manage it, (which personally I wouldn't really recommend, as that centralizes power) or we could have a series of industrial unions which are responsible for the management and distribution.
Money is a completely failed conceit of distributing our resources and labor to where they are most needed. It actively prevents the flow of resources to where they are needed. Capitalism is an evil system and it has to go.
@grok perform reality check
Capitalism is an evil system and it has to go.
Yes. And?
I'm not sure what you're asking me here, sorry, I'm a bit confused by your comment, I don't use Twitter.
US billionaires have $1.5 trillion in assets. Firstly if distributed across 350m Americans this would be $4.2k.
But in no way would the assets or wealth be liquidated in such a stupid manner.
Taking a percentage of this would provide universal health in the US whilst maintaining the golden egg.
Don't forget that the wealth was and is extracted not only from the US, which leaves everyone with nothing
This is such a great point. People often like to say, “distributing all of their wealth wouldn’t make everyone significantly richer.”
No, that’s not the goal of wealth redistribution. We aren’t trying to make everyone billionaires. We are trying to eliminate the existence of greedy people who have abused others to the point where they are hoarding an obscene amount of wealth and an undue amount of influence that comes with wealth.
Like the only way to get ahead in America is through blatant corruption/nepotism. From Hollywood to Congress to the Chamber of Commerce. You need to be a handpicked part of the elites to do anything.
Ordinary people are being excluded from operating small businesses bc they cannot compete with billionaires. Ordinary people cannot buy homes because the billionaires are profiting off of keeping them inaccessible.
After we told the King of England to kick rocks, America crowned its new aristocracy- the Epstein class!
If we eradicated the gluttons like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, small men with tiny dicks who think they are big boys running the world, it would give ordinary people a chance to compete again. GET RID OF THEM ALL. All pedo billionaires must go
Idk whether you are agreeing with me ironically, but I am going to agree with you unironically
I guarantee you that it’s both the left and the right.
Do you mean that the democrats and the republicans are both owned and controlled by the ruling elite? I'd agree with that, for sure. If that's not what you mean, what do you mean?
I guarantee you that you think unhoused and immigrant folks are the reason for all your problems.
