I won’t argue the immorality of billionaires existing we all agree it’s a travesty. But things were better when they couldn’t use that money to punish everyone else for existing because they are bored and can do what they want.

It’s not the money. It’s what they do with the money. If they would stick to building subs and yacht parties no one would care.

this is correct. and while you would get a nontrivial one off sum from a billionaire tax (not enough for a welfare state, but a lot), the ongoing point of that tax would be prevent billionaires from existing

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

The anti fascist movement is against fascists and pretending otherwise is how they enact Jim Crow for everyone who isn’t black or brown in this country. It’s not getting worse it’s getting filmed.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people.

To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.
