    Because extremely rich people have gotten extremely much richer and they still want more

    They dont give a shit if the world blows up. They think they have money, they think their money will save them, they think they can build their zombie fortress and they’ll be fine

    They won’t, of course but that is besides the point

    Then here are the tech bros who think that just another datacenter will for sure give us real AI that will magically solve all our problems tomorrow, just give us a few billion dollars more, it will surely work this time bro! And politicians, the idiots that they all are, actually listen to that, and believe it.

    Then there are the dumb votes who hear climate change and hear “tax raising” because of course they’re right because instead of taking the billions from the billionaire donors, politicians will just have the poor pay for whatever fix, just as we, the people had to get rid of straws because that will fix it, just as we the people will have to start paying.kore for food and and and…

    Instead we need only one fucking politician in charge who is willing to cap net worth at 10 million dollars. After that, all your income goes to taxes. Companies must be capped at a billion dollars networth. Anything over that, 100% to tax.

    THAT will give a good income that can be used for a great socialist framework with free healthcare, free housing, free education, free all the basics, maybe even UBI. THAT will give governments the money to invest in climate change but also invest in thousands more smaller companies that can innovate instead of resting on brand recognition.

    Fuck the rich and powerful, they must ALL be stripped down to normal levels of we want to survive
