  • according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that ugrgent action ha.cms become essential.

    I guarantee you that that 0.001% agrees, there are too many of them, that should be 0.00001% instead

    Fuck the rich!

    I call for hard limits on personal networth and the worth of companies

    No single person should be able to control more than 10M, companies shouldn’t be worth over 1 billion

    Anything over that, goes to taxes.

    It’s a single basic rule that requires more rules below for sure to ensure it works well, but this should be codified in a world wide constitution.

    This way, nobody gets crazy amounts of money, nobody will have to be poor because the government will have a huge income that it can use for universal healthcare, education, universal basic income, etc…

    Crime would go down the drain because nobody NEEDS to be a criminal anymore. There will still be a few anti social elements but good luck finding people wanting that life if they can just have a good, safe, and happy life.

    Bribery and corruption? How even, and why take the risk?

    There is no logical reason why anyone should have to be allowed to control this much wealth.

    Investment companies must all be dismantled and all their funds transferred to independent non profit organisations that, again, won’t be able to control more than over a billion. Government can transfer money to these foundations so that loads of people can have investments for startups or whatnot

    We’d need similar simple rules for governments too. All governments must be democracies, and all should follow a world constitution where we have a few basic rules that make sure nobody will ever get too much power.

    It doesn’t require a lot of changes at the top. Basically these three rules, all the rest flows out of those rules. We can keep capitalism and use it’s raw power to generate resources for everyone.

    What this needs is political will, this needs people to want this, need this.




  • The other interesting tidbit from this:

    Things get dire when US carmakers enter the fray. All but one of the bottom ten brands in the list are American. The best of the worst was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.

    That is because everything American has been shit since forever with all the lack rules and regulations, but in the last decade, things really have gone off a cliff







  • Likely because the manufacturer used of off the shelf hardware that just happened to have GPS built in? That’s just how these things go, it’s easier to just use pre designed hardware for what you need, even if it has functionalities you won’t use.

    Hell, I’d argue that the vast majority of computer hardware out there isn’t using half of the features that it has.

    Just because features are there doesn’t mean they’re used, and definitely doesn’t automatically mean that there are evil or nefarious intentions with its design
