Political Memes

Wealth disparity also causes inflation - because wealthy people can and do drive up prices on goods, sometimes buying up whole markets/products. On top of this, they like to avoid taxes. Taxation being deflationary because taxes take money out of circulation, so uber wealthy people can completely, and enmass buy up select materials/property driving prices up (see the price of graphics cards and memory during the AI boom), and they halt the deflationary effects of taxation by avoiding taxes....

...and the wealthy are also likely to corrupt politics, skewing results in their favour - often shifting burdens onto the poorer classes or otherwise worsening conditions for the rest of us.

Basically: large wealth disparities are bad for the economy, bad for society in general, and bad for democracy, fairness, justice, and equality.

Now now, let’s not forget the valuable work DOGE did with screwworm eradication.

These poor screwworms have been having sex with sterile partners and their chance at the American dream has been stolen from them.

Let's compare two of the richest men in history

Rockefeller's charitable giving began with his first job as a clerk at age 16, when he gave six percent of his earnings to charity, as recorded in his personal ledger. By the time he was twenty, his charity exceeded ten percent of his income.

Elon Musk and the Musk Foundation have disbursed over $1.1 billion since 2010. However, the vast majority of his recent philanthropy—including a record $474 million in 2024—primarily funded his own personal entities, specifically schools and donor-advised funds closely linked to his business and personal interests

Simping for the mega rich will never not blow my mind.

Gee, what effect could a trillionaire, who frequently meddles in politics, in a country where money=speech, and therefore political spending is unlimited, possibly have on my life?

I makes me terrible stressed to know the richest person in the world is a sick soulless, zero empathy person.

DOGE de-funded to the highly effective screwworm firewall in Panama, which effectively kept screwworm at bay in North America for decades. Less than two years after that decision, screwworm is decimating the beef cattle of the Southern U.S. right now.

Wait wait wait hear him out! If gaining a trillionaire had no effect on us, then losing one probably won't either.

As someone from the exact opposite of the planet, it makes politician drooling even more and want his investment coming into the country more, and you know what this mean: resource hungry AI datacenter that destroy vulnerable community and nature, and also carbrained people wanting the ugliest car for the display of wealth. This will happen because Melon Husk will force it to happen.

And the premise of the question is broken as well. Because what good is it for him to become a trillionaire? What is it that he was able to do after he made his first billion that he couldn't do until he got a ton more money? Nothing. Nothing at all.

The ultra-rich try to get richer because they think that will make them more superior, but in no way could it possibly actually improve their quality of life. But we know that the money they stole from us fucks over everybody. And we know that the destruction they cause to our governments fucks over our children.

His wealth is much more imaginary than, say, Warren Buffett's.

If Musk starts selling off all his stock, well, he's the majority shareholder of his own companies, so the prices will collapse. He'll be lucky to get 200-300 billion out of his trillion dollar valuation. I chose Buffett as a comparison because his company holds shares in tons of other companies, so it's much more diversified and the value is not nearly as dependent on one single shareholder not selling much

Kill the rich, save the poor. Taxation, is not enough for the current era. There must be justice for the crimes committed. Once they are dead, then we can figure out how to run the world without capitalism. Untill then, the elimination of the ultra-rich by any means should be the goal. Everything else is noise.

Brian sounds like a dumbass

stealing 100s billions of tax dollars for his companies, that dint amount to advancement of tech(he only bought said companies to say he produced these)

I need Brian Eskow top-side

We no longer live in a society.

It will now be a dark age of anarchy and war lords.
