Billionaires and (soon to be) trillionaires shouldn't exist, the fact they do is disgusting. That level of wealth is incomprehensible to me.

Millionaires make more than 65x the average part-time salary in the UK, and 21x more than the full-time average. That alone was a ridiculous display of greed.

We need to start heavily taxing the wealthy. Start doing it based on percentage different compared to the national minimum after a certain threshold.

Think you've forgotten GOP hired Cambridge Analytica, who's sole job was to pursued the 'impressionables'.

This is a party whose voter base love playing victim, and never considers if something is fake. They're constantly being bombarded by racicalized clickbate headlines because they swollow it up, especially when it matches their beliefs. It's like they're in a constant pressure cooker.

Look how fast the pet-eating thing with Springfield went.

Lawyers are legally obligated to be advocates for their clients. They have to pursue arguments which may strength their cases.

This may be their only avenue for a defence strategy.

Ita also trivial to come to the same conclusion at a smaller scale.

You can run a LLM at home and see the amount of GPU & power resources it takes to compute the larger models. If I ran that full time, your household bill will most likely be 3x alone.

Might be why they're trying to kill him, to make him a martyr. That and being mentally ill.

Not the monopolies they hold over the tech industry.

Or the fact they simultaneously hold more wealth than a small country, yet pay miniscule amounts of tax.

Or the detriment to society they influence, both directly and indirectly.

Or the fact they're intrusive ways to scrape our lives, and selling that data to thousands of "partners".

No no... Apparently it's jealousy that's driving the EU, rather than making them accountable.

Why benefit society when you can just fuck it over whilst profiting from short term gains.

God I hate how this planet functions. Tax the fucking rich already.

They're the biggest barrier to pretty much every political and economical issue we've got about now.

Majority of private jets carrying 3 passengers or less, releasing 10 times as much carbon per passenger than a commercial flight.

As a peasant, I don't think reducing my carbon footprint will offset the disgusting (increasing) display of greed from the elites.

Zero sympathy. If they wanted to reduce the amount of illegal streamers, all they've got to do is make their content more accessible.

Release it on multiple streaming platforms, not just their own. Ensure its released globally at the same time. And get rid of the geo-blocking.

The lack of reasonable legal alternatives is what drives piracy.
