Funny how the people who want to tank Tesla are causing self injury. 401(k) accounts and nearly every major retirement fund are invested into $TSLA. These dumb shits think they are doing something for the world because “Orange man bad, and now Elon bad” and they get to reap the rewards of reducing their own retirement accounts. Well-done.

This is propagating your limiting beliefs and connecting their end with your beginning. Many have don’t this and started from scraps in the working class.

Now that idea is something I would probably still consider. On one hand I think UBI would be pretty damn cool, and probably a useful advancement for society. On the other hand, the reason for the desire for UBI in this instance is still incorrect and that it is essentially asking for the labor of another to feed you or to feed others simply because they were successful. It seems like a good move initially, but if you think about how it could play out, that could actually be an incredibly damaging thing for society. People that would normally be driven to innovate are then stifled and subdued with this because they’re just waiting for someone else to reach that level of success so that they can be fed more.

Now you know. You can look up their stories yourself. Now stop perpetuating the false dogma that somehow these people are special and unique and have something that you don’t. You can do it too, you just choose not to.

Sounds like an excuse to stop yourself from starting and continue pointing fingers at someone else. Also, sounds like you think they are somehow special and unique and have powers that you don’t. They’re a human just like you. Everybody fails at everything at some point, but the differentiating factor is whether you’re going to pick yourself up and keep going with the new information you’ve gotten. It doesn’t cost anything to hedge against risk and make a plan for potential failure, and you certainly don’t need to be a billionaire to do it.

There’s many facets, but some core tenets are to be highly focused, highly committed, and increasingly efficient in efforts to make a goal (in the right direction) happen.

The idea I’m thinking of explicitly here though is scaling this definition to hold increasing amounts of leverage over time. To put it simply, your continued highly focused, efficient, and effective work leads to a system where more work gets accomplished overall, and the time that you put in accomplishes much, much more.

This really shows how little you actually understand about money. Let’s say this hypothetical played out. Where do you realistically think these taxes will end up? What do you think an economically monopolistic and highly supercharged government will get you? What will happen to the quality and ubiquity of goods and services available to you?

If someone wants to break the cycle and have a stab at a better life, then I do believe that yes, business and hard as hell work to make it happen is the cost. Most people would rather sit in comfort and point blame at some external figure for their misfortunes, yet they are in no better of a place in the end.

A better paying job can help certainly. And it can ease the pressure of being a lesser earner if treated responsibly. But in the end, working a job is still working for someone else and taking all your time to do so. Someone could run a business in a way that they create a full-time job for themselves and still end up here.

Taxing billionaires will not solve the problem of the lower class impoverishment if the system it goes to remains bloated and wasteful. It’s an easy finger to point but the wrong take on a solution. How much of an average workers’ dollar gets taxed? It’s really quite astounding

This assumes billionaires fell into money. Not true. The person with two jobs puts in more hours ongoing, but they either aren’t or don’t know how to actually work

Wow this is the first I’ve heard of a tenant union! I think it’s only natural things like this will arise as affordability continues to decline for rents. And shitty landlords that won’t respond and fix broken things they are responsible for? Fuck them completely

Says the guy who is vastly unaware of how many responsibly armed citizens they cross paths with on a daily basis, and who have demonstrably prevented mass shootings. You have no idea the hidden safety net you live under and yet you want it destroyed because of the few bad actors.

Really cool to see the use of the trick asking it to conceal being an AI. I had never thought of that!
