@ImperiaIGames You said because they don't spend their money, which is what I responded to. What makes you think they don't care about solving anything then?

@ChappieSaid I've never said redistributing through the government solves anything. I'm saying that the top 1% doesn't give a fuck about actually solving anything, unless they can find a way to make even more profit from it.

@howdawg420 @mtntallpaul "Foreign aid is taking money from the poor people of a rich country and giving it to the rich people of a poor country."
English
@ChappieSaid @mtntallpaul Another thing they overlook is the 3rd world countries most aid sent gets stolen by their dictators even if Elon sold all his business and stock doubtful it'd even reach those who are starving the dictators would just steal what the politicians didn't pocket
English
Elon's entire net worth doesn't even cover the annual interest on the national debt...
Chappie@ChappieSaid
People screaming about Elon being a trillionaire because that much money "could solve all the world's problems" don't seem to realize that the federal government spends 5x that every year and all we get for it is more problems and debt.
English
@ChappieSaid Foreign development aid leaks on a staggering scale, with an estimated $2.6 trillion lost globally each year to corruption and fragile states seeing up to 30% of development assistance vanish through leakage and graft.
English
@theforesterw That is how I would describe most woke leftists. They behave as though they're oppressed and living in poverty while having more freedom and wealth than 80-90% of the global population. Bernie Sanders fits that description perfectly.
English
@ChappieSaid People think the problem is the billions.
It isn’t.
The problem is watching a man who already has everything behave as if he has nothing.
The old stories had a name for that.
Hungry ghost.
English
@ImperiaIGames The point you missed was that redistributing money doesn't solve these underlying problems. If it did, these problems would've all been solved a long time ago since the government already spends far more than what Elon is worth and has nothing to show for it.
English
@ChappieSaid You're not making any kind of point other than shitty people don't spend their money to actually help the people who need it most, which proves Elon is a massive piece of shit.
English
@ChappieSaid Who exactly are these "people"?
English
@Average_Joe67 If by "all of humanities problems" you mean not even covering the interest on the national debt, you're 100% correct!

@ChappieSaid If we just took elons money and gave it to congress surely they will solve all of humanities problems. What would go wrong?
English
@ChappieSaid 7x that* but completely agree. And the gov had 100% liquid cash elons is tied up in the value and infrastructure for the goods and services millions of people voluntarily buy
English
@ChappieSaid Only reason you ain't speaking German or Japanese is because of Defense spending.
Most of the Fed budget is SS and Medicare, which goes right back into the economy.

@SexualCaramel94 Bro pretending he wanted his argument to fail all along. How pathetic.
English
@ChappieSaid Bro got triggered by ragebait. How pathetic.

@SpaceNotJohn $1T isn't enough for the government to build a bathroom.
English
@ChappieSaid $1T isn't enough to fully own his various enterprises that are solving a subset of human problems by producing useful goods for the market.

@SexualCaramel94 "I intentionally wanted to eat my own words and look like a fool." 🤡
English
@ChappieSaid I used that wording to enrage you, & it worked. You're focused on "socialism" right now because I used 1 of its many phrases.
Also, the only leftward trend in the US is social, because people tend to not hate marginalized communities whenever there is more available information.
English
@SexualCaramel94 I know that socialism means owning the means of production, and I'm glad you admitted that Trump is a socialist, which by today's crazy lefty standards is considered "right wing" because the government has gone so far left/progressive.
English
@ChappieSaid Socialism means that we own the means of production, not a government with the power to siphon your money. So in your attempt to "gotcha" me, you made yourself look even more retarded.
"Grassroots" is a term that has a definition. Facts don't care about your snowflake feelings.
English
@SexualCaramel94 "everyone else is centrist/center-right"
You already admitted Trump was a socialist.
We can't even have a discussion about politics if you don't know what the words "center" or "right" mean.
grassroots is a term for naive people who falsely believe they're voting against elites.
English
@ChappieSaid Furthermore, the word "GRASSROOTS" was a qualifier a that you conveniently glossed over to avoid that discussion.
English
@SexualCaramel94 The same progressives that have never found a spending bill or tax they didn't support. The same progressives who waived Ukrainian flags in the Capitol? The same progressives who vote in favor of foreign aid to Israel? How can you be so naive? Progs are useful idiots for AIPAC.
English
@ChappieSaid Context clues exist btw. You called me a Dem without calling me a Dem. Stop deflecting with semantics.
No, the executive branch is controlled by the MIC, & most Republicans are bought & paid for by them (& AIPAC).
Vote for grassroots progressives and that problem will go away.
