We can’t have billionaires with their own private space programs and 5 families with more wealth than 50% of America, and have a stable society.

This is just the natural and obvious outcome of what we’re already dealing with. The fertility crisis is just our refusal to deal appropriately with the ultra rich and the collapse of our institutions.



I continue to need someone to ELI5 precisely why we shouldn’t kill those 5 families and redistribute their shit.


Who's we? If we had a consensus that they shouldn't be allowed to have that stuff it would be easy enough to vote it away from them without killing anyone. Seeing as we don't have a consensus, "we" are going to face a lot of opposition to the killing, let alone the redistribution.


Wealth isn’t zero sum, someone could write some code that increases the global wealth by $1 trillion from nothing.


It is not zero sum but the number seems really low


Hench from HF?


Don't know what that means, sorry


Ahh sorry, someone with your same username used to post on Hockey's Future message board
