    Imagine what a #WealthTax could do for opensource projects.

  2. Espriella favors “flexible” labor (subordinate to capital) and “productive” environmental regulation (pro-growth), repealled the #wealthtax & plans a budget cut of at least 20 trillion Colombian pesos/six billion U.S. dollars, a halt to almost all government spending to implement. In short, the #DOGE plan.

    What could go wrong?

  3. The #broligarchy is upset with @gilduran which makes his new book 📕 a must read

    #SiliconValley is pro free speech provided it does NOT encompass critique of the bros special status in the world and #billionaires right to undermine democracy and further accumulation of wealth at the expense of us #NPC types.

    #Facism anyone?

  4. #sergeybrin is paying the cost of an airbus 320 (100mil) to avoid paying 120% of the Los Angeles Lakers (12.5bil).

    #billionaires scale breaks our brains. 100 million usd is a colossal amount. But 15 billion usd is what he’d owe, which is more than the worth of one of the most recognizable sports franchises in the history of the world.

    And it’s a one time 5% tax. 5%. And that’s just one dude walking around. Shitting. Pissing. Bleeding. One guy.

    Broken.

  5. Sergey Brin should perhaps worry less about paying taxes and giving up some political power, and worry more about being able to live in peace anywhere on this planet.

  6. @memeorandum

    That's the ad campaign right there.

    "A single billionaire spent $100 million to block a #WealthTax . Imagine how many hospital staff, teachers and parks the tax could pay for.

    Vote 'YES' for the #CABillionaireTax "

  7. Wealth tax for 1 billion dollars:

    5% = 10 million
    10% = 100 million

    Billionaires would recoup than in no time which is why it can’t be 5% nor a one time tax. It needs to be higher and more frequent. Billionaires shouldn’t exist and are a parasite class.

    Simps you have more in common with the homeless than you do with these people. You will never become a billionaire so stop defending them.

  8. A Plan for Equality & Prosperity Within Planetary Boundaries
    A habitable world is possible

    "The Global Justice Report is part of a broader international agenda for planetary habitability, social justice, and reform of the global financial architecture."

    "The Global Justice Project attempts to set out a new vision for global progress in the 21st century: grounding human development and equality in planetary habitability. It explores the conditions under which the world could move toward this horizon and traces an economically and ecologically consistent transition path from 2026 to 2100." >>

    Summary: The Global Justice Report
    A Plan for Equality & Prosperity Within Planetary Boundaries
    "It is possible to reconcile planetary habitability and high well-being for all, but only if the transformation rests on three pillars simultaneously. Fast decarbonization of energy systems is necessary. But we also need a major shift toward sufficiency – understood as a sharp reduction in labour hours and material footprint and large changes in consumption patterns, food habits, land use, and forest cover. In addition, neither decarbonization nor sufficiency can be financed and politically sustained without a drastic reduction in inequality of income, wealth and power, both between countries and within them. The compression of global inequality is not only compatible with deep decarbonization; it is a necessary condition for shared prosperity on a finite planet." >>

  9. If only we were warned about this, if only somehow this was highlighted….. The expert reassures us, on the basis there’s no lunatics out there and it’s all good because there protocols, imagine what all the governments around the world are doing right now. Imagine a well funded terror group with access to this, how’s the data center looking now

  10. You know that global wealth tax people bang on about all the time… China just introduced it, that’s right the authoritarian, despotic, hard line regime, unelected Chinese government is fairer than mine or yours when it comes to taxing the rich…….

  11. What if we taxed wealth progressively, like income?
    Above $10M - 10%, then add 5% for each order of magnitude
    Above $100M - 15%
    Above $1B - 20%
    Above $10B - 25%
    Above $100B - 30%
    Above $1T - 35%
    Chances are good that your wealth tax rate will go down next year! #WealthTax

  12. The so called backlash to "tax wealth, not work" is either disingenuous or confused. They claim it won't work because it won't raise enough revenue but that's not the point of a wealth tax. The point is to reduce inequality. A wealth tax is a way forward in that direction.

  13. Heh. Even #USAToday is talking about the #DSA! Caution - Contains #RedScare Propaganda!

    #DemocraticSocialists of America propose radical overhaul of US govt

    The Democratic Socialists of America want to fight for working-class Americans by offering #FreeHealthcare and abolishing the U.S. Senate [sic]. What else does their #WorkersDeserveMore platform say?

    by Emily R. Condon
    Updated Aug. 2, 2026,

    Excerpt: "Although not all self-described #DemocraticSocialists are in the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA is an increasingly influential player on the left. Members include New York Rep. #AlexandriaOcasioCortez, New York City Mayor #ZohranMamdani and Michigan Rep. #RashidaTlaib, all Democrats. Three Democratic nominees for U.S. House of Representative seats – #DarializaAvilaChevalier and #ClaireValdez in New York and #MelatKiros in Colorado – also belong to the group, as do a growing list of state and local officials.

    "A third of #Democrats identify as democratic socialists, according to a July 30 CNN poll, but it's possible that quite a few of those are not familiar with some of the DSA's more unusual suggestions for overhauling the U.S. government. A July 28 Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed that 47% of Americans say they don't understand democratic socialist policies.

    "While President Donald Trump and his GOP allies slam democratic socialists as
    '#communists,' the Democratic Socialists of America is defining its own brand in the new platform.

    "The 120,000-member organization's policy roadmap has three sections:

    - Thriving Working-Class Communities
    - Working-Class Foreign Policy
    - Working-Class Democracy "
