I dunno, Moneybags, let's do that 90% billionaire tax first and see how it all shakes out
R U ok with paying 8 to 12 pct more in taxes and possibly losing your standard deduction ?
R U ok with losing access to different curative medications and care because the government can't afford to pay for them, even after taxing all the billionaires 90 pct?

I read a book on making money in ancient Athens recently (by Michael Leese, it's great), and the Greeks absolutely believed that the endless pursuit of wealth was a serious moral defect and personality issue no different than being a drunk or sexual deviant.
If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

Walt would approve this, he always wanted to replace his animators. This is why we shouldn't put studios up on pedestals ever.

I just learned about Strawberry Switchblade (Scottish band of the 80s) and I'm REALLY excited about whatever this is. Like a polka-goth, fashion girls who hate you vibe? I grabbed like 100 reference images of them I don't even know why I just feel like it's important.

It's almost as if there was recently a prominent retelling of a moral tale of an entrepreneur who attempts to create a human simulacrum comprised of the vestiges of those who came before; but instead creates a monster, unleashed on the world without consent or proper care...and it's not landing.
