Guys umm unpopular opinion I know this wasn’t said before but umm do you think rich people should give money to the poor? Upvote button is on the left.
Idk man, have anyone considered that maybe, just maybe, a person doesn’t need 7 yachts and 9 mansions, 15 apartment buildings as rentals, more than 10 billion dollars that they couldn’t reasonably spend all of it, and earning thousands of dollars per minute. Just maybe don’t really need all of that.
Is that the standard package they all receive? All of them? In every industry everywhere?
Let’s calm down on the “everyone on a board of directors probably needs shooting” energy. There’s am awful lot of medium size companies staffed by regular every day people for every fat cat evil corporate overlord. The guy with a 3yo Audi on a lease is not the same as the guy who has a driver for his Maybach.

The only reason that medium sized company exists is because it hasn’t yet had the opportunity to grow into a behemoth, or it hasn’t yet been taken over by one. But that’s the goal of every firm, small, medium, or large: ever increasing profits, over all else, even over human well being. Some firms are just better at achieving that goal, often because they were first into an industry. These massive corporations didn’t start out massive, they grew from much smaller firms. The executives at giant corporations aren’t exceptionally evil, they’ve just demonstrated enough acumen for increasing profits to catch the eye of some giant corporation’s board chair (that and maybe they both went to the same business school and play golf together). And since ever increasing profits is the goal of every firm, every firm has to try and capture as many markets as possible, and that means the small and medium sized firms will be captured eventually, unless they are able to grow into a massive corporation themselves.
Don’t waste your effort. You see similar in every discussion on this site about landlords too. No nuance allowed.
The local guy renting out his late parents’ home at below market rate is just as despicable as the slumlord lackeys of the investment companies that don’t do any upkeep.
Where is the nuance in who a billionaire exploits for their wealth?
There is a clear difference between someone with 1-3 rentals and someone who owns half a town. Should there be landlords at all? No. Are the small scale ones evil? Probably not.
That being said, fuck it, god will sort them out. we need the energy this has brought up and I don’t want to see a god damned thing tempering it.
There’s a difference between tempering, and making sure the artillery is aimed at the most valuable targets.
We need this energy to stay pointed at the 1%, and to not get mixed up in the weeds. The last time we had energy like this was Occupy Wall Street, and the momentum was killed by attempting to expand the scope from the initial target of the 1%.
Nah fuck them, its fake internet points I dont give a shit.
Squeeze from the top down, not squeeze everyone with more than me. Thats the attitude that pushes the middle class to conservative voting and we can either advocate for sensible changes or scream into the void.
Yes exactly they should freely choose to give money, it’s up to them what to do with their property so we shouldn’t need to use government theft (taxation) to take the money they earned.

You’re more of a Reddit/Facebook kinda guy, you know.

It’s not about nuance, it’s just running defense.
Wouldn’t bet on it.

Very good points. Don’t want to cause infighting.
It’s the same problem with the same solution, parasite.

Need? What’s need got to do with status based consumerism?
