    Yes.

    Enforced, adequately high progressive taxation could do that, in fact we had tax rates closer akin to that prior to Reagan, and at one point our highest tax rate was close to 90% as it should be so as to limit accruing enough wealth to warp our society unilaterally beyond their single vote with media and political bribery, but that died a long time ago in the name of “turning the bull loose.”

    But then the greediest fucks among us bribed our leaders to get their way, to thunderous applause by idiot conservative peasants and many so called democrats, today’s neoliberals, and here we are, planet burning, terminal stage capitalism, good fucking times. But hey, as long as Bezos can have a second mega yacht to keep his first mega yacht company (he really does look it up) I guess it was all worth our impending collapse.

    And remember, because I feel this always needs to be said with such sums…

    193 million isn’t enough for him, and 193 million plus whatever millions he made in years prior isn’t enough for him. He’s going public because he’s a broken, disturbed human being that looks at his unethical levels of wealth, enough for most of the other humans that live here to live 2 dozen extravagant lifetimes, and still demands mooooooaaaaaar.

    Why isn’t this widely accepted as severe mental illness?! This is hoarding disorder.

    These aren’t big ocean house sums. These are buying politicians sums, and they are only achievable through exploiting other human beings and selfishly pocketing most of the value of their labor.




  • And the punishment? More money for their genocide. Let that be a lesson to them, don’t make us cut you another blood soaked check!

    I would say history won’t be kind, but the longer I live, the more I realize humans are just intrinsically cruel and are a blight upon the Earth. Just another mistake of evolution, like the mass extinction that was caused by a build up of trees capturing too much carbon before the bacteria that could break them down had evolved. We seem to exist to make on another suffer trying to fuck one another over to “win,” while not giving shit one about the collateral damage on all the other species that live here that have nothing to do with our perpetual war on ourselves.

    The longer I stare at humanity just doing what humanity does, the more I identify as a misanthrope.
