We now that a wealthy elite are out of control, don't we?
0.1% of people on the planet emit more CO2 than the poorest 3.5 billion people combined.
One year’s worth of emissions from the top 1% will result in an estimated 1.3 million excess deaths from extreme heat.
Just a few stats from Oxfam's incredible new report.

Now that billionaires can buy a Supreme Court that will hand them the unrestricted right to buy elections in their own interest, I no longer feel the need to phase in a wealth tax gradually.
Let's tax 100% of the assets over a certain amount, so there are no U.S. billionaires after the first year.

You're evading my current question. We need to establish where our realities overlap before we can discuss where they differ.
We could continue to argue who is evading whose questions. Or we can discuss this rationally.
I did answer your questions:
-
Your conclusion doesn't necessarily follow from your premise
-
Your premise is 1/2 correct
-
The correct 1/2 doesn't matter when #billionaires control BOTH parties and manage votes

#California voters will decide soon on whether to tax the wealth of #billionaires. #GavinNewsom is siding with the billionaires.
The Guardian (Essay): The end times fascists are plotting their escape from our world. Our mission is clear (Sep 13, 2026)
An unholy alliance is working toward an apocalyptic future from which only a chosen few will emerge unscathed. It’s becoming clear how we stop them

Bonkers. A chart showing how much spending by billionaires in elections has increased since the Citizens United verdict.

Is funny how a few thousand migrants, poor people, are such a scare for Europe
Maybe they should go after the millionaires and billionaires who hoard all resources, consume the most power, influence politics, and enslave so many people in Europe by holding them hostage with low wages. That's a crisis, not some poor people who seek for a better life.

A billionaire can never be held accountable.
Therefore a billionaire must never make a management decision.

I want all the Keren Zhu content, shoot it directly into my veins 🥳 incredible stuff here from the recent NYT Ellison article #oracle #billionaires #justlikeus
If you litter in the UK you face a £150 fixed penalty fine. Maybe have proportional fines for billionaires who litter in space?

WHY IS FOODBORNE ILLNESS SWEEPING THE NATION? FOOD SAFETY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED due to corporate regulatory capture and government corruption.trump maga politics
In 2025, DOGE cut the CDC’s domestic surveillance lab for parasitic diseases and malaria, which was responsible for monitoring and responding to Cyclospora foodborne illness infections. The lab was downsized from 11 staff members to just 3. This reduction came alongside broader federal funding cuts… #trump #maga #politics #Billionaires

"This video is the full story of how America went from a country where being “middle class” was the norm… to a place where a few hundred billionaires control trillions of dollars, our data, our attention, and basically the direction of modern life."

So, okay, that's bad. Right?
Well, yes, but not the way you think it is.
Energy being put toward things that are useful is good, in general.
The problem? The world exists as a K-shaped economy. The interest of #billionaires is wildly overrepresented in the marketplace.
I want to use the energy for a lawnmower, but I'm shopping in the same energy market at Jezz Bezos.
Same with RAM, SSDs, Graphics Cards, chips.
Billionaires control 4% of the world's wealth. Millionaires half of it.
