Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Why should billionaires get to vote? They live in an alternate reality.

Billionaires are such fucking parasites...

Under fire? Why do you guys keep missing?

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

Under fire? Put him in the fire.

Talk like this is almost like they are BEGGING for the guillotines to start rolling out.

I just want world wide wealth caps. 10 million is the max that any person canboen or control. Any additional income after that goes 100% straight to taxes.

This simple rule has wide spread implications from ending poverty to likely ending wars, removing power from narcissist politicians, and souch more

Why is everyone that has worked on Ruby on Rails a total and utter douchebag? should be studied how that one project seems to have spawned some of the biggest bigoted asshole douches in the tech industry.

Lutke is a moron just like DHH is a moron and surprise surprise they're both from RoR.

I used to work at Shopify. Wouldn't recommend it.

This is the same company that simps for PP and MAGA

My brother was one of the first 10 or so hires of Shopify so seeing the little company grow into the massive company it is now in the 2010s made me like this guy a lot. He seemed to treat the team with respect and recognized/rewarded them for their work.

Then he totally ended up being yet another shitty billionaire (MAGA supporter iirc).

Thankfully, my brother quit before Toby's dickishness was made obvious, and so he remains the nicest, down-to-earth guy that I know.

Hang em

Billionaire people shouldn't be able to vote.

They have power through capital already, they don't need more.

"Poors under fire for thinking that killing billionaires should be legal".

He’s right though. The oligarchs having to own news and social media to get the election outcomes they want, and then also having to lobby those politicians to enact the right policies is incredibly inefficient. It would be simpler if the politicians were unelected and simply payrolled employees of the owner class.

Classism is usually brought up as a word when identity politics writers want to pay lip service to it. But this is classism.

It used to be that only property owners could vote. The laws all favoured the property owners.

Has he considered that voting is free, but bullets are cheap? If he were smart, he'd be wary of taking the ballot box out of the equation.

It is so frustrating when I become responsible for the neighborhood problems

Edit that was for a different thread but fuck it

When you said "under fire" I thought you meant literally, as in there is a squad of soldiers currently training their machine guns on the lad's home.

Every single billionaire admits they've been lucky. They aren't special, they're just lucky to have more than their fair share.

They keep talking like that and “the poors” might have to do something about it. There’s a historical precedent. At the end of the day there a lot more of us than there will ever be of them.

Assuming Tobi Lutke makes at least 8% roi on his investments, he could give every homeless person in canada 20grand a year using just the interest.

under fire

Oh?

figuratively

Oh.
