    Who the fuck cares what cancer thinks? Fuck yes we want Billionaires to leave. Their entire worth is wrapped up in the valuation of their companies, which do their best to avoid paying taxes anyways and are a drain when they inevitably need a bailout. When they don’t have the richest state backstopping their flops like VR and Crypto and voice assistants and AI they will die and the world will have fewer parasite.

    Does it matter? If they stay, they get taxed. If they leave, they’re someone else’s problem now.

A community dedicated to spreading awareness of the negative impacts of the billionaire class, especially the 250 richest people on the planet

We believe that the existence of the 0.01% comes at a cost to the rest of us, even multi-millionaires, and hope to spread awareness of this problem among the 1% (who have the most resources to affect change)

All discussion and links related to wealth inequality and related activism are welcome. We hope that this community can serve as an easily accessible repository of information about wealth inequality

Please meet disagreement with civility so we can foster productive discourse
