Nothing sensationalist about it, it says exactly what the article is about. We don’t have mega tech companies and that is a good thing

Fuck mega tech companies, long love open source everything

tamper proof system software

Lol, tell me you’re an ancient idiot with zero understanding of computers without telling me that you are an ancient idiot with zero understanding of computers

So that doesn’t exist and is basically pretty much impossible

Then, how about Linux? That goes exactly against the point of why Linux exists in the first place.

So no more Linux computers then? No more Linux servers, then? No more IoT devices?

That rule is bizarrely dumb. Not just bad, just dumb dumb dumb.

So in other words, a perfect law to come from the UK government!

Everytime a police officer loses his job, an ice angel gets their wings

Or something funny like that…

I’d support bombing THAT Gaza.

Nah, better let ourselves be ruled by some sad nazi wannabees, instead of fighting, right?

In case you haven’t noticed: weapons producers are the worst, because they’ll happily sell to your enemies. And in case you haven’t noticed: we got enemies coming out of the whazoo, at this point. So you can bitch all you want about weapons manufacturers, but you’ll be standing in line with them soon enough when the fascists come knocking

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Neyanhu wanted to be there but couldn’t because he’s wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes

I’m sorry, but I found this bit rather funny. Funny in the dark comedy sense of course that all this is based on the tens of thousands of innocents that were murdered on orders of this maniac…

But I do find it hilarious that trump makes a peace board and the only person wanting to join him can’t because he’s a genocidal mass murderer who would be arrested on sight if he got anywhere near a democratic country.

Of course that happened, that happens every time when you buy things but then don’t own them.

I’ll buy cams for my home, but they’ll be for ME alone because they’re MY cameras, MY video.

Obligatory fuck Amazon and fuck the USA

Maybe, but I feel he’s like Churchill.

He sucked badly as a politician, selfish little prick that used “I cannot remember that I fucked over those people” waaayy too many times, but I also feel he’s the right guy for the right place for the right time

Time will tell.

Macron told the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that now was “not a time for new imperialism or new colonialism”,

I’d go as far as to say that ever is not a good time for new imperialism or new colonialism

Never again

The Dutch authorities are also very wary about declaring the US an unsafe country and provoking Trump, said Shrover. They think: ‘How will it look? How will the Americans respond to that? We can’t do this to our most important ally, saying that they don’t have a functioning democracy.’”

Important? Very

Ally? At this point, it’s our enemy

No, they don’t deserve to be richer than you

First off, “smarter” is a really hard concept. Do you think Elmo Musk is smarter than you? He’s a conman and an idiot and I guarantee you he isn’t smarter than you

Then there are people that have certain specializations. They know everything about very little. This means they are very smart nonbthe subjects they know about and well, not so smart in others

There are also the true geniuses, but those usually don’t end up uber rich. The theoretical physicists under us aren’t known for being billionaires

Then there is just the basic question: what is smart? Somebody who mnaged to make a lot of money? Usually that’s not smart, it’s stepping on others backs. Musk made a lot of money but he did it by lying and scamming (and he continues to this day)

And even then… Let’s assume for a second that there are objectively smarter people out there, do they deserve more than you and I, just because of good genetics? Fuck that Nazi shit.

I want a world wide wealth cap. Say, 1 million dollar (pinky pushing against corner of mouth)

We can keep capitalism as-is, all fine, but when your networth gets higher, your income taxes get higher… when you reach 1 million, 100% goes to taxes

This way, we have the strengths of capitalism yet no more millionaires. Without millionaires, a huge amount of shit that comes with them, disappears too. Governments on the other hand get a huge tax income that they can spend on free healthcare, free education, universal basic income, you name it. Nobody will be super rich, nobody will ever be poor again.

The 1M is a random number I pulled out of my ass, but the point stands. We need to cap how much net worth a single person can have. There is no explicit right that says you should be allowed to hoard money and art and networth.

Within that limit we can allow people to do what they want. What to buy an expensive house? As long as it’s under the max, sure!

Those crazy ass houses with 500 rooms from oligarchs? Convert them into hotels. Same goes for those crazy luxury ships, make small cruise ships out of them. Ban private jets unless for things where it makes sense, like medical transportation or something

We don’t NEED private jets for anyone, especially not in the age of video calls

Billionaires and millionaires are the main reason why democracy is dying, why the world’s environment is dying, why things are as bad as they are, today.

Ban millionaires, ban billionaires and let everybody be as “rich” as they want within the wealth cap.

Whatever you do, do NOT accept a payment to leave. This is YOUR land, YOUR country, YOUR inheritance in this world

Plus, you know, you’re dealing with a professional scammer. I guarantee you that you will never see a dime if you accept and leave

Take my money, I want to watch that

Thats why you want open source software, its the only software you can trust, its the only software that won’t fuck you over

So who is going to do when what about?

I’m keeping it a sort of open ended question because this is a problem world wide and it won’t stop until someone’s putting a very hard stop to it

The way I see it, if things don’t change soon, billionaires will face a choice:

1. Return your fortune to the poor by paying taxes until your below, say, a billion

2. Run like Marie Antoinette

The stupid, it hurts

You gotta love these fascists coming from a all over the country to your local community to tell you guys that your neighbors (or maybe even just you) are criminals even though they know jack shit about your community

This is all about spreading hatred and fear, like a disease, and all these Muppets have already been infected

The only real solution is to eradicate the disease

Trump creates his own un-united nations

FTFY

So when are we going tondo what about this?

This. Has. To. Stop.

We cannot allow a single person or family to control a single news organization, let alone multiple. Anyone who thought that was a good or even okay idea has been, and continues to be, delusional.

Yeah, so this is the part where the market regulates itself? Y’know, the part where ultra billionaires just dump money by the boatloads to buy up stuff that everyone needs?

Capitalism will ONLY work if we put hard caps on how much wealth a single person can hoard. Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Millionaires shouldn’t exist. There is no need for them and there is no human right somewhere that says that you really van become one.

Any wealth over 1 million should be taxed 100%, doesn’t matter the country.

With that, we can say goodbye to hundreds of problems that plague the world, including this one
