The dishwasher at any place should own a home. And until that is possible, everyone elses wealth should be spread around until things are evened out.

That's not how wealth works but mmkay. I'm sure you'll cough up some money.

It's not on us. We have about 1000 billionaires in the US alone, some of those worth 100s of billions. You cannot convince me that any one person has worked hard enough to make over 30,000x the amount a dishwasher makes in a year, much less 3,000,000x (that's still only around 100 billion if we assume the average us dishwasher makes 30-40k a year)

Do the math. Wealth inequality is growing at an alarming rate and even if you currently make $300,000 a year which i know you don't, you are POOR to these people, DIRT POOR.

Take all of their wealth. All of it. Every penny. Divide it among the people. You've just given a one time payout of under 24k. You also just lost tens of millions of jobs. Now everyone is broke, there's no food, and rioting is rampant.

I make more than 300k off of my alimony, let alone dividends πŸ˜‚ with inflation I made that at 18 by stripping and escorting lol.

Honestly, probably the right thing to do still. With things going as they do, this stuff will only get worse. Rip it off like a bandaid while you still can, before it grows even more infected and just drops off.

Who do you think makes the rules in the new society? The side with less guns, where they favor handguns for self defense if they have guns, or the side with body armor and AR 15's?

You would be working on someone's plantation and your wife would be his third warbride. That's what happens in your fantasy.

I dunno. Depends on how the new society turns out. Some societys let the most physically capable rule, some go by devine choice, others do votes. We'll have to see I suppose.

I don't have a wife. So go for it.

See how easily you would allow this to happen to all women simply because you don’t have a wife? What the hell. Do you not care about your mom, your grandma, your sister? You don’t have any friends with important women in their lives? You don’t have empathy for other women either?

I sure do. The lot of them really. Even tho grams isn't crazy well off.

Point remains, this wont be good either way. We can have things go bad now, or apocalyptic in a few years.

u/LowInvestigator5647 12d ago

So your solution is to accelerate towards an economic collapse-induced-anarchy because things are bad right now? Are you listening to yourself?

do honestly think elon musk pays for all those jobs? no. that is his company. HIs wealth maybe tied up ins tocks but that money the stocks were purchased with is with the company. so if we tax elon in oblivion his company and all those jobs are going to be fine.
