Billionaires and (soon to be) trillionaires shouldn't exist, the fact they do is disgusting. That level of wealth is incomprehensible to me.
Millionaires make more than 65x the average part-time salary in the UK, and 21x more than the full-time average. That alone was a ridiculous display of greed.
We need to start heavily taxing the wealthy. Start doing it based on percentage different compared to the national minimum after a certain threshold.
Think you've forgotten GOP hired Cambridge Analytica, who's sole job was to pursued the 'impressionables'.
This is a party whose voter base love playing victim, and never considers if something is fake. They're constantly being bombarded by racicalized clickbate headlines because they swollow it up, especially when it matches their beliefs. It's like they're in a constant pressure cooker.
Look how fast the pet-eating thing with Springfield went.
Ita also trivial to come to the same conclusion at a smaller scale.
You can run a LLM at home and see the amount of GPU & power resources it takes to compute the larger models. If I ran that full time, your household bill will most likely be 3x alone.
The key differences is utilities you're paying for the generation & maintenance of key resources - without gas, water and electricity we wouldn't be able to survive. Road tax you're helping to pay for the renewal and upkeep of the road surface (among other local services)... Left alone the road will degrade & will become unusable.
Suspension as a Service is milking what should be a perpetual cost when purchasing the vehicle. If the hardware is already installed, it should be available for the owner to use. They're not paying for the upkeep of the vehicle, or even ensuring the suspension remains functional... All they've done is placed the function behind a pay wall. They can argue they're maintaining the software, but it's utter bullshit and I hate the fact this has become a norm within B2B (for example network appliances)
At least with luxury subscriptions such as Spotify, Netflix, NYT, etc you're getting access to their content, which they renew. Here you get access to something you should have had access to from day 1.
Because since 2016 they've learnt there is zero consequences for such actions. In fact, even when there is bad publicity, their fan base is more like a cult following and supports them more.
All the social media engineering they did REALLY dug deep with the impressionables.
They'd still fully consume the WAN bearer regardless of Crowdsec protecting the endpoint. For that you need a scrubbing centre to dump the traffic onto.
Whilst technically immune now, assassinating them is still extremely polarising and likely to make martyrs, forever. And they won't be able to justify the consequences of their decisions.
Re-arresting them constantly however, from the oval office, interfering with their civil liberties... They themselves would have to describe how it's not an official act, and why the president shouldn't be immune.
The moment they make a ruling... destroy their property, seize their assets, etc... Make their lives a living hell.
It's still polarising, but makes them feel the consequences of their actions. And they'll have to justify it in the public court of opinion for everyone to see to why this is a good thing.
When you have no money... money is still money.
