If he's ready to give the homeless $240 a month, he can go do so and it would actually help them quite a lot.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

"For the rich, by the rich" personified
If I had a name like catsinmuhtiddies, I would change that shit immediately upon being of legal age to do so.
How about we shoot you to space but as token of good will you can take all of your money with you.
My wall let me show you it
All I see is this
I'm homeless. I have a PhD and I guarantee I've contributed more to society than this fat cat.
my dude, hope you can find reliable comfortable safe affordable shelter soon
stay safe and sane!
The most heinous part is he would ABSOLUTELY not even pay the $8.13 a day. He'd rage and fight it in court for several thousand times what it would cost to just pay it.
The problem there is that getting him to pay would set an example. Billionaires can't be seen to be coerced by the state into doing anything. That would show they are not untouchable, and would probably destroy the apathy from the general public which keeps them in power.
Why are all rich parasites so gross looking? He looks like a bloated tick.
Ellison, if bezos and musk dint have all those cosmetic procedures done they would be pretty dreadful too,
The world is riddled with maggots, the maggots are getting fat...
Something about inbreeding idk.
"Billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis lives on Manhattan's Upper East Side in New York City. He has resided in the same 14th-floor apartment at Fifth Avenue and 63rd Street for over 20 years, and also purchased a home in East Quogue, NY, according to source 2 and source 4."
Which window is his?
It's probably reasonable to assume all of the 14th floor windows are his ..
... and if we were to count those floors, from the outside of the building for some reason, is America a 'Ground Floor is 1st Floor" or "Ground Floor is 0th Floor" kind of place?
That would be a question for an American =) that said, given the assumed location of the building it's probably also safe to assume that the occupants of the 13th and 15th floors are also big rent seeking pieces of shit. So maybe cast a wider net ..
Baron Harkonnen over here.
I don't know anything about Dune so I always think about the spirit of Harkonnen from Hellsing when people mention the name and TIL it's "a humorous caricature of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, the principle villain [from dune]"... So I was thinking about the right guy just in a round-about way
He could just pay his taxes.
Looks like an evil muppet.
I was going to say animal farm pig
Absolutely no understanding how terrible of an idea this is and he probably considers himself a "thought leader".
Did he got stung a bee while having a bee allergy?
It's a modern Hapsburg family member. I'm calling it.
I think he contracted Catsimatidis. Symptoms include full facial prolapse
I think there's much more wrong with this guy.
I vote we send the billionaires to live on $8.13 a day.
If they're souch better than the rest of us I'm sure they'll figure it out. Now that they've done everything that's possible in our society let them level up somewhere else. It's for their own good. It's a psychiatric disorder to keep accumulating. Recruit them to the CIA and send them to Iran and NK to soak up all the wealth there to destabilize those societies...
The most recent estimates of unhoused people in the United States is 771,000 (https://www.security.org/resources/homeless-statistics/). At $8.13 per day, that works out to 2.3 billion dollars per year. Since he is too stupid to do math, I’m not sure he is aware of how much it would actually cost him for his plan.
We’re spending about that much per day right now pissing away western hegemony in Iran. pity, that money could do so much more good as UBI.
In fact, I’d argue we should increase federal income taxes on the billionaires to 80%, then use the proceeds to give every US citizen free healthcare, and outlaw homelessness by building public housing to place them in if someone needs/wants it.
If billionaires such as this guy don’t like that, I’m sure the good people of Uganda would gladly take them in considering the great value they add to a society.
When he said “we’ll give them a check” he meant taxpayers, not himself. He is too smart to pay taxes no doubt.
He is too smart to pay taxes no doubt.
More like born rich to pay someone smart enough to avoid paying taxes.
A very, "in the coming collapse we will target you and your entire class. Only then will you feel a quarter of the oppression you've dealt to the entire world. There will be no escape." to all billionaires.
Whoa, he definitely looks better with clothes on.
Jabba the Hutt looks weird with hair and pink lips.
Give people over an hour of minimum wage for nothing every day? Fucking socialist!
Descend, Republican ghouls!
Hey, I agree to not live near this guy for 8 USD per day. Where can I receive my payment?
Yes, they're all horrible, every single one. Any amount of power makes people more apathetic, and more fearful, even just a middle manager role at some middling company. The more power, the worse. These monsters are fearful, fearful that someone will kill them, or take their power, and that no one will ever love them for who they are instead of their money. They're apathetic, they care about no one but themselves, not even their own family. They're egotistical, some to the point of believing they are doing their god's work on earth and can do no wrong. They're also criminals, some directly, but all through the people who manage their money.
Billionaires are horrible, horrible people, no one should want anything to do with them, much less look up to them. Never defend a billionaire, they would never defend you.
That one scene in tucker and Dale vs evil where one of the nerds launches himself into a woodchipper completely on accident.
If he was a smart capitalist he would go where it only costs $8 a day
