Wish I could edit, meant to say, "Don't bother with the dog parks. Dogs deserve better." Geez, it's not even Monday.

This is a government job... governments need to tax them their fair share and use that money to end world hunger. It is not their problem to end world hunger

No one needs billionaires.

S**t, beat me to it.

Bingo. It's just a race to see who has the bigger d i c k. So stupid and there's so much good they could do with their endless supply of money.

the insulin prices are due to govt regulations in the US, that if we literally changed one page in our regulations in the US a months supply would be under $20. Insulin prices in the US are caused by US Regulations that force the prices to be that high.

We all are

After a point, billionaires are nothing but leeches on society.

That would require every member of that society to be on the same level of emotional maturity, and be uncorruptable in their ethical duty to the collective. That will be challenging to say the least.

How does that calculation actually work? I can see billionaires dropping enough food for everyone to have enough to eat for a year or a decade, but that wouldn't end systemic hunger?

Make them pay a re-entry fee of a shitload of money.

And still have money left over.... Bezos, Branson, Musk...

How can he be that out of touch? Maybe his head is literally already in space

We're not talking about prohibiting profits - I just want personal income taxes to keep step with reality. Even if Branson only has personal income of 3 bn/year, (1% of his net worth of 300 bn) he can make more in interest on 3 bn IN ONE YEAR than I have earned in my entire lifetime. And 1% is a lot smaller tax rate than I have to pay. Overhauling the tax laws would make us more socialists rather than fascists. The "I earned it" argument is hogwash. Amount of work expended, personally, by his own effort, is probably about what I produced in my best year. He's not so much a genius as he is a rapacious, exploitative, risk-taking person. And it's his employees who earn him the money, because, really, no one one on earth gets a 3 bn per annum salary.

Freeze-dried grandpa and stunned beefy dolt. Pair of twats.

This the one.

Go drive around space in your stupid f*****g space convertible you asshat

How about we don't let them back on earth

Just want to be able to pay our rents and buy food without having to have 3 and 4 jobs.

Mandela once said, "A person who does nothing for their community is not worth remembering when they die."

And I loved it to read your creation.

Amen.

& 3rd after that.

I really hope hell is real and that billionaires like these end up there.

Or have them pay for chemo and insulin so that people who need it can afford it

Google food deserts

Yes, those poor billionaires. They'll be suffering so when they're still billionaires when paying a living wage and allowing bathroom breaks...

how about reforesting the planet???? cleaning up our oceans?? fixing our climate??

100%

Get your pitchforks ready, people

assume 20 million people in the USA might get kicked out. assume 3 people per household, then 6,666,666.7 households are to be evicted. assume $1,200 monthly rent per household, then each household owes $14,400 rent for one year, the Year of Covid, So 6,666,666.7 households * 14400 back rent/household = 96 bn rent owing for last 12 mos. If each of the three 300 bn dollar billionaires chipped in 32±1 bn, it would pay 12 months rent (perhaps paid directly to the landlords) for every household facing eviction. If uncle sam chipped in chipped in equally, it would drop to $24 bn. Surely the 4 richest entities in the world could dig this up. Of course, this is a lot of assumptions, but they seem reasonable. All each has to do is sell of a few subsidiary companies and there it is.

Elon's emo boi poetry sucks. Just when you think he couldn't be a bigger twat, there he goes again.

Not helping each other is wrong. Forcing others to share is worse.

He didn’t pay zero. But the problem is tax code. Can’t blame musk for it.

the US government has been trying to accomplish some of these aims for literally generations. Throwing money at the problem, which gets siphoned into someone's son/daughter/nephew/niece's fake charity.

Just wait.

Scientists are doing that

In large numbers in liberal cities in liberal states.

Dandy Andy ain't dandy. "Their $" is ours...if they paid their fair share of taxes [They pay million$ to accountants to manipulate #s & spit at us, same as Trump which is why his a/c'ant got indicted (w/millions of pgs of proof!) & he's not even a CPA]. Rather simple, Brandy Andy...try getting sober before typing. These greedheads know what they should do...just look at Smithsonian Inst [$508,318 "to the people of the U.S. to found such an institution~~in 1846 dollars!], Carnegie Hall/Carnegie Library, hospitals named after donors... look around, boys! Smithsonian was "for the increase & diffusion of knowledge"~~we learned zero from Branson's 15-min ego trip which Alan Shepard did in 1961...in 15 mins...which the D**k repeated 60 yrs later.
