What's the best option if you don't want to use your phone number?

They are very expensive to maintain

I have some money and I'm not stupid enough to have more than 10K in cash. I'm sure billionaires have financial advisors that tell them how to invest their money

I think January 6th was a dangerous precedent to our democracy and Elon Musk is cringe (I'm not going to x anymore)

Am I the mythical centrist?

There are about 800 billionaires

You realize you have to pay every year for dockage, fuel, maintenance? You should not exceed a 4% withdrawal rate, so if your life roll is 10M, do not spend more than 400K a year. But 4% withdrawal indexed for inflation doesn't survive the worst recessions so realistically 300K

Are we really spending $100,000 a year on a yacht?

I have no problem with splitting up Microsoft or Google, but the founders would still get shares in both companies. Ideally those companies wouldn't lose value after being split

He was never criminally tried for those charges. That means just selling drugs have him two lifetimes in prison plus 40 years without possibility of parole

The billionaires have their wealth in businesses, it's not locked up. People don't just put a billion in a savings account

You can't own a yacht with 10 million

Billionaires don't have 1 billion in their bank account

So the defining factor is her work, not her staff. Her staff doing the same work at another place wouldn't generate the same profit. And if you think listening to songs on Spotify is work...

All the wealth billionaires in the US hold is not enough to pay for the government to run for one year.

Let's not pretend giving away all their wealth would fix all of our problems.

You don't need to convince everyone to switch. You need to convince some people go join and build the user base.

Once there are users, more people will join. Even if people are not active, if they have an account it's easier to convince someone to add you.

Think of it as a long term goal.

He got more time than actual gang bangers without committing any violent crime. His sentence was way longer than it should have been.

The person who makes a claim has to back it up

You can just try zeroSSL. Either add a DNS record they give you or host the file they give you, it's much simpler

Biden took himself out by losing a debate to Trump

I'm fine with some funding for other people who are running things for public benefit. The difference is a meaningful one, since governments have rules about how they do contracting work. It ends up with companies that focus on government contracts that know all the rules and have the connections.

A couple of people running an open source project don't have the same restrictions
