Very strong arguments to get the wealthiest taxed for their wealth. Since the wealth is finite, how it is distributed matters.

Lets see, if they are able to monitor Nostr too 😂 View quoted note →

GM I just watched the video below and learned something new. Inequality in itself is a problem for poor and middleclass. I’ll try to recap and explain: I assume that most readers of this note are familiar, that the richest 1% worldwide got much richer in the last decade, compared to the other 99%. So when we assume a free market economy, we assume that one dollar equals one vote, on what should be produced more. So when the richer are able to grow their wealth faster than everyone else, means that they get increasing power to vote, what workers will produce. So when the ultra rich have got a bigger part, more human work force will be incentivized to publish articles, which please the rich, offer more luxury services and goods. (and build less housing for middleclass, less innovation in food production, less investment for private services like Proton, Nostr or Signal) Means that our middle class wage has less power to request goods. That the economy works less towards our needs and more towards the needs of super rich. And to distort the majority population from resolving this problem, super rich people buy trusted media outlets to spread hate and bad feelings against whatever, that is not them. Be it state burocrats, be it immigrants, be it people that do not work, be it disabled people. I think in a crisis it is important, we are able to precisely figure out, what causes the disaster. So we should find media, that is funded by the middleclass. We should care, who funds the media we consume. Since whoever funds it has the most legitimate voice to decide what is investigated. What articles are getting published. Since an economy, that only works for the rich is probably most accuratly described as an oligarchy. We the middleclass have the power to defend free societies from these oligarchies. Let’s do it.

I definitly see the logic of Elon spending his money in wellfear. He also got his start money gifted from his parents. So he should also give to others. But really sad when people critizise others, while not thinking, what they themself actually can do. View quoted note →

What a powerful image you paint here. I am happy to shar this idea. In order for a currency to be money, people need to use it as medium of exchange. And I rather be a part of it and see it fail, than to expect that others will make it become a medium of exchange. View quoted note →

A great Article from Robert Reich about the power of unity above individual cruelty. We will always be more. So lets use this advantage 😉 View quoted note →

Intresting thought. I can definitly see that this could be true. Any good arguments against it? View quoted note →
