@WesternLensman I see the narrative changing. The wealth taxes proposed in various states were “one time”, now they’re sneaking in “annual”. What’s now billionaires will ultimately be imposed on millionaires and then everyone.
Remember, do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
@decadimitry@GaTechAlum_IE92@maattttbrown@SFGate The prosecutor (Kahn) and the ICC are far from neutral parties. Once the UN is finished with the sexual harassment accusations against Kahn and he’s out of the permanently let’s see what happens.
@decadimitry@GaTechAlum_IE92@maattttbrown@SFGate Oh, you mean Israel responding to a sadistic attack. The only genocide in the Gaza Strip is caused by Hamas staging military actions from civilian facilities, which under International Law make those hospitals, apartments, etc. military targets.
@JohnMur24035538@samclaassen@nishtraderx I did not equate sexual slavery to a kink. Most human trafficking is a direct result unchecked illegal immigration, that is a progressive Dem own. People who employ slavery as a kink are not an issue. Provide examples of slavery in the actual workplace due to capitalism.
@JohnMur24035538@samclaassen@nishtraderx@JohnMur24035538 Please cite specific, verifiable examples of slavery in the US today. I want examples of corporate or government facilitated slavery (since you’re trashing on capitalism) not sex trafficking or personal kinks.
@WhiteWhaleCap@netripy@emilysavesusa Money is limited, or it is worthless. What Elon creates is value on which additional money in the economy is supported. An economy is not built on currency, it is measured by it. An economy is built on productivity.
@mark_slapinski Because we are celebrating our semi quincentenial and we want to have fun. At least we’re not destroying a major metropolitan city to “celebrate”. Go talk to New Yorkers about inappropriate activities.
@davidyelland Jack Dorsey pushed people apart by censoring (in collusion with the government) opinions on Twitter. Please detail exactly how global internet access and free expression of opinions “pushes people apart”! The only people isolating themselves are intolerant of opposing ideas.
@Heccles94 A progressive only understands a sense of “Entitlement”. Entitlement is when a non-productive or less productive member of a society feels they are OWED compensation from more highly productive members in the name of fair outcomes rather than fair opportunities.
@ClimateWarrior7 But, he’s doing 125 million times the amount of innovation, rocket launches, electric car manufacturing, battery storage construction, tunnel construction… note @elonmusk creates things, most people use just things.
@mehdirhasan@mcuban They own the stock because they created the company. Some of the bottom half of Americans may work hard, but you have to admit a sizable portion do not. The key issue is how much value does society place on the work they do.
@JeffMerkley Every progressive politician is blaming @elonmusk for becoming a trillionaire and not fixing the problems the politicians created. Wealth is not finite. Some people create it (like Elon) and some people destroy it (politicians and the welfare state). Everyone should be like Elon!
