    That’s what happens when you let people accumulate too much capital.

    Capital = power

    Should be a 100% wealth tax rate beyond a few hundred million. No individual should have billions of dollars in unelected, unaccountable power. And no one earns those kind of sums either.

    Not like the truth matters though. Oligarchs like Musk own this fucking place and both patties have spent half a century dismantling any possible means of reigning in their power over our government, our media, and us.

          You joke, but have you heard about yacht support vessels. Essentially a second yacht for the personell to live and sleep on, and stow all the toys like jetskis so you have room for a bowling alley and other essentials on the parent yacht. It is also faster than the yacht in question, so they can clean up if the yacht leaves and arrive ahead of the parent on the new location to setup already.

              Yeah we live in a world that has people dying of hunger while at the same time CEO’s have yacht support vessels and private planes for LA to Seattle commutes.

              “Well, that’s exactly the kind of whining I would expect of a peasant. You should have chosen your parents better.”
