Qasim Rashid, Esq.We wouldn't be in this mess if our elected officials ACTUALLY TAXED BILLIONAIRES AND STOPPED ONE PERSON FROM AMASSING ABSURDLY DANGEROUS WEALTH AND INFLUENCE TO EXPLOIT AND MONOPOLIZE AT WILL!
We tried to tell y'all. #RipTwitter
Thomas David@QasimRashid : you'd think we would've learned, the British learned this the hard way with the British East India Company when it started getting too big for its britches...
Mark Gardner@QasimRashid Right, I much prefer our elected officials with the absurdly dangerous wealth and influence, because they command the police and armed forces too
@mjgardner huh? How is demanding fair taxation of billionaires remotely the same as the absurd position you’re taking?
SueHeckman@QasimRashid so glad I found you here always a worthwhile follow
John Bailey<points to actual history>
... where this kind of thing is perennial, and sometimes it is the government that does it.
Government is not a savior; it's another perennial despot.

This is the point I keep coming back to. Others will say, hey, he earned it! But he did not. No single person’s contribution to society is worth a billion dollars (let alone multiple billions). If you’ve amassed that kind of wealth it’s because you’re taking more than you’re giving and doing so at the expense of, or on the backs of, others.

@QasimRashid they’re are no nice billionaires! Capitalism corrupts, and it’s hard for me to digest that one ridiculous looking and acting man child can just destroy at will. I play the sims all the while never realizing that I myself am a sim who’s been played badly so far🙏🏿

My understanding was that 44bn was provided by various corporate sycophants who think EM can do no wrong. If/when Twitter goes down the pan I think it will be his ego and his sense of infallibility that will be affected much more than his back pocket.
I believe Tesla is heading, if not for a fall then certainly way down the list of preferred EV's for new buyers.
