@elonmusk @OwenSparks it's also ugly af and the less of them are on the road, the better for the aesthetics of the planet. literally one object shaped like your distended belly is enough for 8-billion sets of eyes.

@drewski429 @StephenM @paramountplus @WilliamShatner no u are 😗

[Adbusters @Adbusters]

if you really want to make things better,
- size tax on megacorps
- kill OFCs and tax havens
- true cost implemented on AI, tax it for its ecological, social and psychological damage
- take the ads out of communications or tax them until it happens naturally

a lot of what you're proposing only tackles the downstream effects of much bigger systemic problems. get to the root or stop pretending you're actually trying to change a thing.

@CouldbeYue yeah you're probably right about the 4d chess thing. wonder what'll happen when finally loses that game, though.

[Adbusters @Adbusters]

@CouldbeYue craziness is relative. the never-bluers who look to him as some sort of (false) messiah might hate it?
idk, okay fine maybe "strange" would be a better word but it sounds like we agree?

@YourAnonNews @DNC @TheDemocrats dnc HQ right now…

[Adbusters @Adbusters]

@DrJillStein But they won’t because the democrats have the house and the senate but they still don’t have a backbone.

[Adbusters @Adbusters]

@WhiteHouse You spelled maga funny

[Adbusters @Adbusters]

okay, pal. you're on the clock.
but what you really need is a 25% rule to cut down megacorps,
outlawing tax havens so the billionaires can't hide their wealth (and then you can tax 'em),
maybe an AI tax that makes developers pay for the ecological, social, and psychological costs of their platforms,
throw on a 24-hour hold rule for stock trading,
oh and an ad tax. it's brain damage.
