so much at stake here, such an understated headline. i'm surprised this is bloomberg.

endless greed is remarkable. guys with $200B can't afford to pay taxes to the state that allowed them to gain such excessive wealth in the first place, often via government subsidy. this cancerous version of capitalism can't end quickly enough.

That is pretty sad. People would rather spend money on political activism instead of supporting their home state. Imagine if they said instead - no need for tax, here is 15 billion to fund the schools. They could be heroes but choose to be assholes.

Fuck billionaires, their naked, craven corruption of the political system, and their making everything worse for everyone else to serve their greed.

Yeah so, how about that universal basic income where everyone whose job gets crushed by AI makes an income. But if only the billionaires have money they’re the only ones who can pay it. How do those guys like paying their share? (They don’t like it at all)
