  • And yet another lost of reasons why these billionaires are fucking removed. Yes, im using the horrible R word, but “idiots” just doesn’t suffice.

    These people are investing billions of dollars on unproven technology and now want to put trillions more in pushing those unproven technologies to space which is just removed levels of stupid. But the investments will happen, a ginormous amount of pollution will be made and it’s all nothing for humanity and a huge amount of money for a select few billionaires.

    Fuck this time line, fuck removed billionaires

    We need a wealth cap. Nobody should be able to do shit like this with impunity just because they have “enough money to do so”.

    Give me a 1M wealth cap world wide and I’ll give you a world where everyone is happy at relatively equal levels of wealth




  • No

    I’ve kept inflation out to keep things simple. Yeah, the exact number will be different and depending on many factors, but the basic idea and the basic number are there.

    For housing, I’d add one extra rule where for profit companies are not allowed to own houses for renting purposes.

    If nobody can own more than a million, a couple with kids could own up to two million. Since people can’t afford to own multiple houses, and companies won’t be able to either, housing prices can go down to “what it cost to build plus a little extra” instead of “whatever some billionaire company can afford just to push the prices up”


  • I fully understand what a retirement cost NOW in the current system.

    I’m basically saying “keep the system, cap wealth at 1 million” and with that, governments will have so much income that anyone can retire normally and have a normal pension.

    You talking about retiring being expensive completely misses the point where it shouldn’t have any cost to begin with. Nobody should have to save up for retiring as a government can so that for everyone hands down if not all the wealth was locked away with a few extremely rich.

    If nobody could own more than a million worth, and the rest going to taxes 100%, governments would have more than enough to feed, clothe house, etc. anyone in retirement


  • I said million, not billion

    Nobody NEEDS a million (less even a billion). Normal houses don’t cost anywhere remotely need a million to build these days. Everyone can live a great life without ever being worth more than a million dollars

    Either way, the million dollar is just an arbitrary point, it depends on where you live, etc, and more likely it should be a limit pushed by the average income, but I think it’s a good number to start with, a good number to promote
