German politician Nico Semsrott has suggested that we give billionaires one year to solve the climate crisis. If they fail to do so, we should dispossess them. I think that’s a wonderful idea! It's never going to happen, but it's nice to dream.

@bastianallgeier Germany supposed to have other priorities as for example
1) Diversify its economy
2) Present global investors business models that don't depend on extractive resources
3) Promote the Nation as the only G7 members that still ranked AAA
4) Conceive business models capable of creating dozens millions of jobs that can't be taken by robots
5) Build a budget based more than 80% on abroad revenues and not on money taken from tax PAYERS
I could continue with over 30 priorities

@A07Rodrigues @bastianallgeier Most of these are absurd.
1) They are good at advanced manufacturing with high wages and good working conditions. Asia owns chipmaking. So cars trains and planes. Services can be done cheaper elsewhere.
2) See #1. You can't make stuff without raw materials. Recycling sure, but that is just another form of extraction.
4) Dig holes and fill them up. If jobs can be done by robots we need a different means of distribution.
5) Requires making stuff, conflicts with 1,2
