AOC says what everyone is thinking: the only way you get a billion dollars is taking advantage of working people, not earning it.

    And I’ll repeat again:

    Wealth caps, now. Wealth caps world wide for everyone.

    Nobody should be able to have a networth over 10 million dollars.

    With a wealth cap, you reach 10 million in networth? Any money you receive over that goes 100% to tax.

    10 million is enough to be called rich, to be rich

    This way nobody gets much more resources or power than anyone else… companies need to be owned by dozens, if not hundreds of equal shareholders

    Governments giet a huge revenue stream that they can use for a giant social system that takes care of free healthcare, free education, free housing where needed, maybe even universal basic income.

    Create independent non profit financing institutions for things like independent press so that we finally can hear news again that we remotely trust.

    It’s not that hard to fix this shit but you need to start doing it

    That’s only ten tonnes if you get it Benjamins. They’re mostly just cotton and linen, so not a lot of nutritional value, but not toxic either. I think I could reliably pass about a kilo of it a day, so that’s only about thirty years of daily habit. Expensive though, not to mention all the cocaine and ink you’d end up enjoying.
