  • I find it funny to watch these countries having issues with people not wanting to have babies.

    There are core reasons behind this, one large one being “raising a child is expensive and all the world’s money is being sucked up by billionaires, there is nothing left for children”. Another one (for certain countries like Japan and South Korea) is the “work 80 hours a week and never see that family you’re supposed to raise”

    And governments go like “sooooo, if we cover child birth, you’re good, right? What? Still nothing? We tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas, how oh how can we solve this?”

    Fuck the rich, end the rich. That will get births back to a healthy 2.1

    I’m of the opinion that that doesn’t go far enough

    We need to put hard limits on personal wealth (and the wealth of companies too). After 10 million networth in wealth, all your income should go to taxes 100% until you’re below that limit… something similar should exist for companies

    Same goes for power and fame. I don’t want or need a president, or a CEO that directs billions of dollars

    Keep everything small, keep everyone small. Mega projects can still be done by multiple companies together, for example

    End the rich!












  • according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that ugrgent action ha.cms become essential.

    I guarantee you that that 0.001% agrees, there are too many of them, that should be 0.00001% instead

    Fuck the rich!

    I call for hard limits on personal networth and the worth of companies

    No single person should be able to control more than 10M, companies shouldn’t be worth over 1 billion

    Anything over that, goes to taxes.

    It’s a single basic rule that requires more rules below for sure to ensure it works well, but this should be codified in a world wide constitution.

    This way, nobody gets crazy amounts of money, nobody will have to be poor because the government will have a huge income that it can use for universal healthcare, education, universal basic income, etc…

    Crime would go down the drain because nobody NEEDS to be a criminal anymore. There will still be a few anti social elements but good luck finding people wanting that life if they can just have a good, safe, and happy life.

    Bribery and corruption? How even, and why take the risk?

    There is no logical reason why anyone should have to be allowed to control this much wealth.

    Investment companies must all be dismantled and all their funds transferred to independent non profit organisations that, again, won’t be able to control more than over a billion. Government can transfer money to these foundations so that loads of people can have investments for startups or whatnot

    We’d need similar simple rules for governments too. All governments must be democracies, and all should follow a world constitution where we have a few basic rules that make sure nobody will ever get too much power.

    It doesn’t require a lot of changes at the top. Basically these three rules, all the rest flows out of those rules. We can keep capitalism and use it’s raw power to generate resources for everyone.

    What this needs is political will, this needs people to want this, need this.
