    Because the Texas and Florida governments are filled with bootlickers who would rather enrich themselves than do right by their constituency.

    Then they can fuck off to somewhere else, like maybe a visit to Titanic.

    Billionaires are inherently destabilizing to society. We'd be better off even if we took their money and just burned it in a big bonfire, because they wouldn't be funding the reactionary fascist trash like the dickheads currently running our State.

    They didn't earn that money, they exploited people for it. Redistributing it is the nice option. I'm sure not going to lick their boots and beg them to come exploit my State harder; it's pathetic.

    They're antisocial leeches, and they suck everything good out of the community. They horde wealth so that they can do whatever they want. They're the worst people on earth, I don't want them in my country.

    It's so pathetic when people lick their boots like we need them more than they need us. They violated the social contract; they should consider themselves lucky that we don't take all of their ill-gotten gains from them. They're fuckin' pirates, and not the cool kind.

    Musk and Zuckerberg exploited a lot of people for that money. They didn't earn it.

    They built their fortune on exploitation and amoral pursuit of money and power with reckless disregard for everything besides their own influence. Your Nazi saluting hero should be locked up for what he did with DOGE. Zuckerberg facilitated a genocide in Myanmar because he didn't give a shit about anything besides his wealth.

    And here you are licking their boots. It's disgusting.

    I don’t get how you poors don’t understand that money is a zero sum game. Allowing one person to acquire all the resources leaves less for everyone else. It makes it harder to open up businesses. It’s stealing your American dream one rari at a time

    And if that money were elsewhere, would that mean that more, less or the same number of people would be employed? And would the political system be more or less stable?

    Because right now, you're looking at one side of an equation but not the other.

    Exactly… a public company. So you can actually go look up how Megger your wages are compared to the profit. You can see how predatory the financial structure of the company is. You can also directly see that it is a black hole for And has returned very little to society compared to the amount of money that has gone in.
