@hiiaminfi @tante #Finfact: Were those not misdemeanors but felonies and had he done so in Germany and be sentenced by a judge, his penalty in the form of a fine would've been based off his income.
The Problem with #billionaires like Bezos is that they can and do artifically keep their taxable income low, and that being compensated in shares, not a paycheck as well as getting liquidity by taking a credit with said shares as collateral isn't even legally considered income.

Newly minted billionaires are increasingly not “self-made,” but inheriting money from mom and dad, creating American “wealth dynasties” and a society that more closely resembles traditional aristocracies.

The billionaire myth takes a beating - Whites of absolute power and riches built on slavery as “socialism,” the anti-government conservative movement forged in the Gilded Age tried but largely failed to dislodge the New Deal. https://wapo.st/484wb85 #billionaires
"Great wealth encourages a sense of entitlement and egotism. It seems to suppress trust, empathy and generosity.
Affluence also appears to diminish people’s interest in looking after their own children.
If any other condition generated these symptoms, we would call it a mental illness."
“It’s a good thing that responsible custodians are taking on great wealth at this time” 🙄

The more I think about it, the more it seems that Elon #Musk is going the way of eccentric aerospace zillionaire #HowardHughes!
‘One of the most influential and richest people in the world, Hughes first became prominent as a film producer…Later in life, he became known for his eccentric behavior and reclusive lifestyle—oddities that were caused in part by his worsening obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), chronic pain…and increasing deafness”

Newly minted #billionaires have collected more of their wealth from the deaths of relatives than through their own work and entrepreneurship, according to a Swiss bank favoured by the super-rich...https://www.theguardian.com/news/2023/nov/30/next-generation-billionaires-collect-more-wealth-from-inheritance-than-work-ubs
@politico The #GOP's wealthy donors don't want anyone getting help to afford healthcare. If they can't afford to pay for it themselves just let them die.
Trump will say or do anything to get elected in order to stay out of prison. #usPolitics #billionaires
I don’t like “tax the rich.” The problem isn’t that they “aren’t paying taxes” — not remotely. The problem is the very fact that they are making *billions* in the first place while everyone else makes pennies, and especially *how* someone can accumulate such an abysmally asymmetrical amount of wealth.
The means and systems by which they accumulate that wealth — the exploitation, lobbying, cheating, plutocracy, and other horrible things involved — need to go, along w #billionaires themselves.
"This year's report found that the majority of #billionaires that accumulated wealth in the last year did so through inheritance as opposed to entrepreneurship." https://www.commondreams.org/news/billionaire-wealth-transfer
So much for the rewards for effort bollocks;
Last year (according to research by UBS - a Swiss bank), #Billionaires gained more through #inheritance than via #entrepreneurship ($151bn inherited/$141bn 'earned')
and that's just the start, as UBS Head of Wealth Management points out; this will continue 'over the next 20 to 30 years, as more than 1,000 billionaires pass an estimated $5.2tn to their children'!
When you cut away the reward for #innovation, this is just a new form of #feudalism!
"So the fight against #environmental #breakdown is not and has never been just a fight against environmental breakdown. It is also a fight against the great maldistribution of #wealth and power that blights every aspect of life on planet Earth. #Billionaires – even the more enlightened ones – are bad for us. We cannot afford to keep them."

We are used to hearing reference to #MSM, meaning Main Stream #Media. I suggest we instead use RCM, meaning Ruling Class Media. This, I believe, more accurately describes the reality that all major/mainstream #news outlets are, in fact, owned and governed by #billionaires and large #corporations.
And as such, the RCM will never speak ill of one of their favorite sons unless doing so increases #profits. Thus, #Kissinger will be praised, just as he always has been, by the #RCM.
#Billionaires NO they do not earn their fortunes by hard honest work..
The bank said it was the first time in the nine-year history of its annual report on the fortunes of the richest 0.00004% of society that “the next generation of billionaires accumulated more wealth through inheritance than entrepreneurship”.
#Billionaires need to be taxed until they become simple #Millionaires, period.

Makes sense, #Trump was/will be a guaranteed champion for #tax minimisation rules for #billionaires & to transfer the tax burden onto the middle class and lower demographic groups. (But the MAGA cult is too stupid to realise that).
Okay, this sentence about #billionaires' #hubris made me laugh:
"By combining a distorted interpretation of #Nietzsche with a pretty accurate one of #AynRand, they end up with a belief that while 'God is dead', the übermensch of the future can use pure reason to rise above traditional religious values and remake the world 'in his own interests'."
This news about Home Depot's co-founder is no surprise, given Home Depot's past donations, but it's a good reminder to consider shopping at Lowe's rather than Home Depot.

Most of the rich are sociopaths, so no, actually, they don’t care about their children’s or anyone else’s future. They care only for themselves, now.
"Here’s a Q #Cop28 won’t address: why are #billionaires blocking action to save the planet?"
“Don’t they have children? Don’t they have grandchildren? Don’t rich & powerful people care about the world they will leave to their descendants?”

I suspect that if EVERY BILLIONAIRE could be investigated and prosecuted for fraud, tax evasion, environmental assaults, employment law violations, unlawful collusion with foreign governments, and campaign contribution violations…we would no longer be under threat from ANY billionaire or their sleazy organizations.
Fuck them all and the lawyers they ride in on.
Sorry #UAW, but 2028 is FAR too late for a #GeneralStrike.
That's 4 more years of the elite and powerful letting #COVID cull the population. None of our governments will go back to doing the right thing — the end of COVID protections PLUS the ongoing #gaslighting around it just like HIV / AIDS in the '80s and '90s — is making that loud and clear. Even the most holdout of nations are abandoning protections under the immense pressure of the U.S.A. to pretend that the world is normal. Don't underestimate my country's reality distortion field.
Stop showing up. It's time to flex that power so that at least politicians are reminded of who they serve, and where the wealth generation really happens, and how #billionaires will need to begin to redistribute that wealth lest we go from work stoppages to working on guillotine construction.

From my 2019 rant about #billionaires
The word idiot comes from Ancient Greek* ἰδιώτης idiṓtēs, “a private citizen, one who has no professional knowledge, layman”), from ἴδιος (ídios, “one's own, pertaining to oneself, private”); ἰδιώτης (idiṓtēs) was used derisively in ancient Athens to refer to one who declined to take part in public life.
Money was created to represent property, for trade. The parasites are destroying the world without adding value.
‘…the unbearable hubris of Musk & the billionaire tech bros. “#Billionaires…have been around a long time, but there’s something different about today’s tech titans... Reading about their apocalypse bunkers, vampiric longevity strategies, outlandish social media pronouncements, private space programmes & virtual world-building ambitions, it’s hard to remember they’re not actors in a reality series or characters from a new Avengers movie.” | Douglas Rushkoff, Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/nov/25/we-will-coup-whoever-we-want-the-unbearable-hubris-of-musk-and-the-billionaire-tech-bros?CMP=share_btn_tw
"In contrast, however avaricious, the titans of past gilded eras still saw themselves as human members of civil society. Contemporary billionaires appear to understand civics and civilians as impediments to their progress, necessary victims of the externalities of their companies’ growth, sad artefacts of the civilisation they will leave behind in their inexorable colonisation of the next dimension."
@emilymbender Thank you so much for this brilliant thread about #OpenAI and #AIHype ⬆️ that I want to recommend warmly to all #journalists and #media, but also to people in #education. Interesting links, f.e. the connection of these #billionaires to fascistoid #eugenic ideologies!
A big #followFriday from me, your work is so enriching!
BTW, these same #superrich techies would never admit that there is #intelligence and #consciousness in #animals.
@carnage4life All I know is that any really intelligent AI, regardless of its task or if it’s a simpleton or not, will quickly identify billionaires as a main interference factor to its task.
Only exception is if its task consists in destroying nature or humanity.
The biggest problem with #billionaires is that they have the very best security money can buy.

Just 12 #Billionaires Produce More #Emissions Than 2 Million Average Homes
It seems the ultra-wealthy are happy making all the #carbonemissions they please — so much, in fact, that 12 billionaires emit as much as 2.1 million homes. All the green investments were just regular, profit-earning investments, and the talks are #greenwashing and empty words?

' Democracy is compatible with capitalism only if democracy is in the driver’s seat, so it can rein in capitalism’s excesses.
But if capitalism and its moneyed interests are in charge, those excesses inevitably grow to the point where they are able to extinguish democracy and ride roughshod over the common good.
That’s why Trump’s neofascism [is] attracting the backing of some of the richest people in the US.'

"We’re already feeling the long-term impact of listening to what billionaires think is the best way to live one’s life. It sounds good since it’s so relentlessly optimistic. But a billionaire’s guide to living your best life is one where you need to suspend your belief on so many things."

Billionaires are a Menace to Society...
"Let me put it this way: if you made $10,000 a week – a princely sum by the standards of most people – you would have to work every week from the year of Jesus’s birth until this week to earn over a billion dollars. To earn as much as Elon Musk’s net worth at that rate – currently $180bn, according to Forbes – you’d have to work every week for more than a third of a million years – that is, since before Homo sapiens first emerged in Africa....
... billionaires are a menace to the rest of us: their sheer political size warps our public life. Disproportionately older, white and male, they function as unelected powers, a sort of freelance global aristocracy who are too often trying to reign over the rest of us. Some critics think that the supergiant tech corporations that have spawned so many modern billionaires operate in ways that resemble feudalism more than capitalism, and, certainly, plenty of billionaires operate like the lords of the Earth while campaigning to protect the economic inequality that made them so rich and makes so many others so poor. They use their power in arbitrary, reckless and often environmentally destructive ways."

Not sure if something is solarpunk? Want the opinions of either @arielkroon or @xtinadlr?
We have a LOT of opinions, and we're very happy to be wrong but we can only learn if other people join our conversation.
So head over to our blog and let us know what you think!
(Disclaimer: we're not the arbiters of what is solarpunk or not; that would be very silly. This series hopes to provide a place for discussion where the solarpunk community can learn from each other!)
