Pity those sad unfortunate misunderstood billionaires - What's up with them?

Here’s an excellent example of the Billionaire state of mind.
Thought of the moment;

The question isn’t who’s going to let me, it’s who’s going to stop me.

“Tech Billionaires’ Shocking Plot to Go Rogue in Rural America”

More Perfect Union
Sep 4, 2024
Tech billionaires are waging a hostile takeover of rural Northern California. They want to build their own private city in Solano County, and they’re crushing farmers with lawsuits to do it. Local activists delayed them last month, but the fight has just begun.


More Perfect Union’s mission is to build power for working people. Here’s what that means:

We report on the real struggles and challenges of the working class from a working-class perspective, and we attempt to connect those problems to potential solutions.

We report on the abuses and wrongdoing of corporate power, and we seek to hold accountable the ultra-rich who have too much power over America’s political and economic systems.

Apparently the key idea is creating a new form of ownership and governance.

I don’t pretend to know much about it, only so many nightmares a person can keep up on, still might make for an interesting topic and it certainly impacts our future.

Interesting concepts. So many questions. Bitcoin seems a bad investment unless you’re a good scammer. It’s a huge energy suck with its server farms. Taxation is always interesting once things get physical. You can have anything virtually, but once it turns real it usually doesn’t succeed for long. I could see an Elon Musk having the ability to push some of this, but he’s really not smart enough to succeed in the long term.
And… no matter what you build, somebody will eventually destroy it. The likely destruction would come from its own members.

Why did you write billionaires and not oligarchs??

What difference would that make?

Amrrica have oligarchs?

And whats wrong with that? scientists like james hansen are saying we MUST do certain actions now which is missing in the politics of CC.

Science science science !!!

What’s wrong is you don’t present it as science. You link articles for the purpose of telling members here there is something wrong with them. That’s not science.

Its gone from supporting the wrong people to something wrong with them. Its your hang up

This is still trolling. There is a slim chance you don’t know you are trolling, but it still is. It’s unlikely that you don’t understand what I’m telling you. It’s very likely you are twisting my words and pretending to not understand.

No one said you shouldn’t support Hansen. Someone said that generally your articles are not well sourced. You twisted that into a personal attack on you, it wasn’t.

You however, with the direct use of insults, attack people consistently.

Get this figured out, quickly. We generally use a three strikes and you’re out rule.

Oh, and you are arguing with moderators. If you have an issue with how we moderate, open a thread in Issues and Complaints. This is in the FAQ.

He’s a mod. He can’t ignore and you are about to be banned. This statement doesn’t help either. In fact, you may find yourself banned within the next few hours at this rate, maybe within the hour.
