I agree but I just can't be angry all the time about this. I'll merely amuse myself at this orange tumors expense until he either suffers a fatal stroke or is booted out. You talk smack, I use schadenfreude 

I talk smack because I'm sick of billionaire justice. I don't care that some in the Epstein files have pleaded innocence, they're all lying, especially Epstein's orange Nazi wing man with incontinence.

Yeah, I think I'm in agreement that billionaires shouldn't exist. Not just because the money should be used elsewhere, but because billionaires are at the core of everything going wrong at this moment and for quite some time.

I'm not saying the left wing should go back to their original tool (the guillotine), but there should be a wealth tax that hits 100% on a certain level of assets at somewhere under 1 billion USD. And this shouldn't just impact the US, but every Western country. There should be threshold laws about valuation of companies hitting a certain threshold, the stock sold on the open market and the value transferred to social or infrastructure programs... something useful.

Think about this for a moment, if we set the value at 1 billion USD. That means Elon Musk would lose 99.88% of his valuation, but he'd still technically be a billionaire. Elon Musk is a guy who used his wealth to fund propaganda for Donald Trump: his reward, he's made over half of a trillion dollars in assets and valuation in a single year: moving from 300 billion in December 2024 to a current 839 billion USD.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
