DetectiveSanityTake down tesla why exactly?
How exactly does that help?
queermunist she/herMusk borrows against Tesla all the time. Billionaires don’t generally have a ton of liquid cash, they need to take out loans and put up collateral.
Lets assume you managed to somehow bankrupt tesla. You effectively managed to stop one billionaire from using one of his many companies as a fast ATM.
This does not solve the problem (billionaires affecting your governing system) in my perspective but merely mitigates a temporary symptom.
It’s better than doing nothing. It can reduce his influence as he won’t have as much wealth available to buy politicians.
Whats your plan? Sit and complain that people are desperate on Lemmy? How does that help?
I’ve already made my suggestions. I am not complaining either instead poiting out that this makes no significant difference in the grand scheme of things. I know because something similar has been trialed across Eastern Europe a while now with minescule results.
At best you’ll take one and two more will pop taking their place. I would really like to have a civilised discussion but so far most are triggered just because I raised a rhetorical question.
The problem is we are all choosing to do things with our time that aren’t perfectly efficient. These comments aren’t going to change anything, yet we’re still making them. Actions being perfect is not the goal. Actions that get people motivated is.
I wouldn’t usually go and tell you that you’re not doing anything useful by commenting, but since that’s what you’re doing I think it’s important. Either stop dismissing people taking these actions or recognize that you’re wasting your time too. Stop implying that they should stop. They’re doing far more than you or I are right now.
I did not at any point imply nor directly say they should give up. Instead I suggested a route that takes care of the root cause itself rather than dealing with one of the symptomps.
You are also correct in saying that I am wasting my time sharing my perspective of a solution with someone who is not open to a different opinion. I plead guilty.
No, I meant you’re wasting your time posting on Lemmy in general. We aren’t going to accomplish anything posting on here. Just as we’re wasting our time, they may be also. They’re doing a lot more than we are.
