@Neural_Ned @robkhenderson @elonmusk The Tim Cooks, Jensen Huang, Jamie Dimons and Elon Musks of the world are beyond rare and exceptional. Most humans are incapable of visionary thinking to that level.

@robkhenderson excepting @elonmusk, even top CEOs like Tim Cook don’t have any obviously exceptional qualities, so the sentiment is understandable. But desert is irrelevant IMO because everyone involved, from the board to shareholders to workers, is acting voluntarily.
English
It’s criminal the CEO makes 400X what the average worker makes but it’s perfectly fine that Taylor Swift makes 100000X more than the people who clean the arena after her concerts. A just society is one that rewards the exceptional qualities of the musician but not the executive.
English
@robkhenderson Stockholders vote for board members who then decide compensation packages for their CEO’s. It’s the opposite of criminal. Corporations understand leadership can be priceless.

@MaryKno38656667 If you include Essential Plan coverage with Medicaid, it’s 60%. No wonder people in NYC vote for free shit.

@DemSocialists Only socialists can solve what decades of socialism have done to capitalism. Funny!
English
@MasihEther @puckrin Ok. I can smell your Axe body spray from here.
English
@MisterSineWave @puckrin Just don’t say I didn’t tell you so Mr Sine Wave 😉

@IbaraEleven Under socialism, your video game time will not only be limited, but will be subject to collective state approval before you can play…when you’re not at your state mandated toilet cleaning job.

@grahamformaine And you could be the first openly Nazi Senator!

We have a president pocketing billions with a crypto scam, while Susan Collins became a multi-millionaire, funneling taxpayer dollars to her husband and profiting off stock trades while in office.
Enriching yourself through public office should be a crime.
English
@MasihEther @puckrin Here’s what Masih doesn’t understand as he posts from his portable super computer…yes, the economy is more dependent on tech and in a world that uses tech as an integrated part of life, there is sustainable demand.
English
@MisterSineWave @puckrin I know that
You ironically strengthened my point
Tech stocks crashing today will have a more devastating impact (since they are a huge part of the economy / employment etc)
It will be more devastating than during dot com crash
English
@mazemoore Walter is confusing social contract for socialism. Public utilities aren’t socialism.
English
Socialism in the Palisades: People paid a ton in taxes and LA didn't have water or working fire trucks ready to fight fires.
And now the socialists are making it as difficult as possible for people to rebuild.
Nice post though.

Socialism is the fire department putting out your fire. Capitalism is the insurance company denying your claim.

When I look at the recent progressive victories in Colorado and elsewhere, and the successful organizing campaigns sprouting up across the country, I believe we may be on the brink of the political revolution we have been fighting for.

@ProudSocialist Without capital, incentive and innovation, there is no smartphone period. You’re a fucking moron.
English
@MasihEther @puckrin Go research what actually happened during the dot com bubble. Huge difference between companies that were nothing more than ideas versus a company like NVDA, GOOG, ORCL, MS etc.. You just made yourself look more foolish.
English
@MisterSineWave @puckrin No I don’t think tech will collapse
I think the tech bubble will pop hard causing a recession
Sure stocks might recover eventually
But the purchasing power of consumers will not
English
@MasihEther @puckrin Actually, it appears you were still shitting in your diaper in 2002. You sound really smart at parties I’m sure.
English
@MasihEther @puckrin You’re hilarious. You think tech will collapse as you proclaim your expertise from a supercomputer you can carry in your pocket. As AI flattens, another technology will disrupt and so on and so on. You probably shorted $AAPL in 2002 just before they introduced the iPod.
English
@fwrenzo1 Except there has never been a grocery store chain that’s ever recorded a 300% quarter over quarter profit increase. Serious question…Why are you simply talking out of your ass?
English
@racle_rae I’m sure in South Asia where you’re at, $850K would be plenty.
English
@TheRealJChubby What are they hoarding? You haven’t created anything.
English
And we allow them to hoard that much wealth and have even allowed a trillionaire.
ً@omgsidewalks
I DO NOT think people fully understand how much 1 billion is. If your salary was $100k with no tax, it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire, but 10,000 years to reach a billion. It is unethical for just one person to be hoarding this much wealth while others CANNOT eat
English
@ZeroOne33408052 @mcsquared34 Spoken like a true bottom feeder.
English
@FuckYourProfits So as a result of your envy, you simply wish everyone to live just above the poverty line. Very based.
English
Sick of socialism being framed as "free stuff," when capitalism is just endless free stuff for spoiled sociopaths born into wealth, while socialism is just everyone having dignity and sharing in the gains from our collective labor
