There are two Americans inside of us

Triumvirates are a great idea and never go horribly wrong.
Show threadFirst_ThunderMar 14
Not a triumvirate, just an executive composed of three peers. Won’t go terribly at all. IT IS FINE IF ONE STARTS CALLING HIMSELF FIRST CONSUL

We have 7 persons in the highest exective office in Switzerland. (Technically one of them is president of this comitte, but this mandate rotates each year, and its mostly for representing purposes like at visits or during a catadtrophe)

While a million isn’t insane money these days (1 in 10 Americans are millionaires) that was a lot of money in those days, and if you factor inflation it would be reasonable. That’s about 12 million dollars in today’s dollars.

I assumed it was more money then due to inflation. and having a wealth cap at 12 million is still good.

tf happened to the US when such concepts were in the Overton window?

Show threadZwiebelMar 15
A wealth cap of one billion would still be a huge win. (It would reduce musks fortune by 99.9%)

tbf, lots of those American millionaires are boomers who managed to get a 20k$ house which is now valued at over a million. if we were to fix housing crisis they would lose their fortune. which they count on for their retirement.

get universal healthcare and elder care and that would also fix it. old people retirement plans shouldn’t be based on the homeless and poverty of everyone else.
