Only works if we limit the amount of wealth single persons are allowed to hoard.

I say that anyone with a networth over 10M should have all other income over that taxed 100%

Same for companies, cap them at 1 billion

This will allow capitalism yet spread the wealth

Yes, this requires more details, of course, but this should be a basic rule. There is no right to own more than 10 million in wealth

Also US:

Why is our tourism dead? Why does nobody want to visit our shit hole country anymore?

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.

Well let me put it differently then

Yeah, I'm sure quite a few wars weren't about religion directly. I'm also quite sure that Gods and religion has been used in almost all wars to convince people they are the righteous, to convince them to commit horrible atrocities

Even the Nazis had "god ist mitt uns" (pardon my horrible German) in their belt buckles.

Aren't both of those just the eventual outcomes for lack of regulation?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 14 points 6 days ago (7 children)

Oh come on, you don't really believe that Nazi shit, do you? That is beyond transparent and dumb and .... FFS, it just pisses me off that people can be THAT dumb.

And you still call a multi year wat a "special operation"? I thought even Putin stopped calling it that, too obviously bullshit, but apparently there are still IQs out there measured i shoe sizes.

That the thought entered your head is one thing, but that it left your mouth (well fingers) is just shamefully stupid.

I'm just amazed

Is MTG on some sort of redemption tour? MTG, of everyone?

Makes ya think, if there is hope for her...?

And then all conservatives all acted as if he indeed said that hiring should be merit based, which goes to show that Republicans and conservatives are liars

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

I would

I would use it to remove the rich from this world. Force hard taxes, hard caps on net worth

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No they don't, it's a really REALLY bad idea.

Think about it. If you win, you will win a nuclear hell scape that will cost you huge amounts of money to control and maintain, awesome!
