  • I dont think taxing them will accomplish much. its also trivial for corporations to evade taxes, and all of the big ones do.

    I think the ease of raising money is part of the problem. Loads of tech companies way over-raise, and develop into bloated cancerous messes that have no way of ever realizing the growth that would have to exist to warrant the investment theyve been given.

    In the first place, the only way their investors even expect make anything back would be by reselling the stock, making it a ponzi asset.

    The entire system is just propped up by peoples 401ks being funneled to institutional investors. Its inherently unstable.

    Make social security good enough that middle class citizens dont need to invest, and the overinflated value of stocks plummets back to earth.



  • Your questions at the end are what distinguish this from a co op.

    Im not saying i have an answer for every case, but a co op has strictly one vote per employee.

    I think itd be okay to build on top of that and let co-ops of more than 2 people set up some sort of charter or constitution that requires periodic re ratification.

    3 is the minimum amt of employees that makes sense imo.



  • Well, if you want to tax billionares out of existance u need a wealth tax, aka unrealized gains.

    taxing unrealized gains is just going to force individuals to sell their business to liquidate the cash to pay their taxes. Institutional traders will buy them up, so youre universally taking control out of the hands of people and giving it to banks and hedgefunds, which will just end up owning eachother.

    I dont think any billionares exist that made their money in some other way than selling stocks in a business they acquired at a lower value, aside from inheritance or divorce.

    Maybe you do implement a wealth tax anyway though, but you do it after abolishing stocks, just to catch the loopholes.


  • im definitely interested in not collapsing the world financial system, but its a tough problem to find a solution to.

    there are other assets besides stocks banks could own - loans would definitely be a much bigger part of the pie.

    As for starting a business, itd make sense to only hire on people you trust at first. Afterward you have to continue to show your worth not to investors but to employees.

    As an alternative to trust, you could cut your own business a loan, so that if youre ousted as long as it doesnt go tits up you still get a payout.








  • true but if its truly end to end encrypted it cant be moderated.

    between this and mega its clear they want your files easy to reach and access, privacy and security be damned.

    the internet should be free for the same reason we have the 2nd amendment - its necessary for exposing and opposing tyranny.

    so kill telegram and watch criminal orgs and militant groups just spin up their own servers or use encrypted radio or just encrypt messages themselves to send through any other platform.

    its the cops and feds job to investigate these people, they didnt need a fucking all seeing AI to do it in the prior century and they dont now.

    i mean seriously what happened to sting operations? its so damn easy to catch predators n shit on discord, and these telegrams are easy enough to join. do actual detective work smfh .






  • For what its worth , the cache locality of Vec<Box<Dyn trait>> is terrible in general, i feel like if youre iterating over a large array of things and applying a polymorphic function you’re making a mistake.

    Cache locality isnt a problem when youre only accessing something once though.

    So imo polymorphism has its place for non iterative-compute type work, ie web server handler functions and event driven systems.
