How do they not feel embarrassment, constantly claiming they can end all the world's problems with some small fraction of the amount of money they spend every single year?
The economic illiteracy of the mainstream Democratic party - Warren, Bernie, Newsom, etc - is a false belief 10,000x as damaging as creationism. I’ll take the guy who believes in literal Adam but won’t destroy the system on which all modern life depends, thanks.
Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos offer us services we voluntarily pay for.
Public school teachers extort us all for thousands of dollars and would jail anyone who disagrees.
If the federal government took 100% of Elon’s wealth, it would only fund the government for 52 days.
Then it’s gone, and there’s nothing left to take.
The problem isn’t trillionaires.
men look at the accomplishments of great men in awe. they feel proud, inspired, and want to be great as well. parasites rub their greedy little insect hands together and say "that's mine." ro khanna is a parasite.
You’ll notice there is no look-back celebration or remembrance of this or virtually any of the other great moral victories from that era. It’s all been memory holed, a will-o'-the-wisp dimming out in the far distance.
Oh great I love the idea that after a decade of founders, engineers, and investors lighting billions on fire to build AI, the plan is: ‘thanks, we’ll be taking 50% of that now.’ Peak startup risk, Soviet exit. 👍🏽🤣
“Market worship by conservatives (Tories) has degraded society into soulless commoditization of human beings.”
These are words people use when they can’t argue based on individual liberty or based on empirical arguments, so fall back on buzzwords to justify their desire to tell people how to live and their indifference to economic reality.
