Too bad that movie hadn't made it to torrents yet, that I know of. I have better things to do than watch a 4 hour movie about some random nazi asshole, but I'd like a copy of it anyway just to piss him off. |

Tech billionaires are also buying Peter Thiels "people who want regulation are the anti-christ" It's pretty obvious at this point billionaires are evil, and enemies of the people. That we need laws to make them poor again. I don't want to kill them, or eat the rich, I want to define a new category of crime: Extreme wealth. Particularly if it can be shown to have come from exploitation, or the wealthy person has tried to spread disharmony or hate. I want money out of politics. I want plutocracy and oligarchy to be criminal offences. I want the punishment to be extreme and financial: Make billionaires poor again. ehMBooPAh. |

Or we could make a new rule that if you make a billion dollars you get a trophy that states, "Congratulations, you have won capitalism!" and then all money over a billion goes to the government. You can continue to make money for society if you wish and we will even keep score for you so you can have the bragging rights. But you don't get to keep anything you make over a billion. |

We've had a dozen different documentaries about Elizabeth Holmes. God only knows how many podcasts she's inspired. I just don't see the needle moving on public opinion towards insane, Silicon Valley lying shits. Incidentally, do you know who originally went hard for the Queen of Scam Diagnostics herself? Larry Ellison was a huge early adopter of Theranos. He's still hard up for her. Very real possibility they had a romantic relationship. I wonder if we're going to see the flood of Elizabeth Holmes tell-alls throttled in the near future, as Paramount takes over HBO. |

My first instinct upon learning the news was that I need t9 seed this. Let me know if you ever find a torrent or a copy. Hell, I'll even host a tracker for it. |

No one was going to watch a 4 hour doc about Musk anyway. Shorts will appear eventually all over YouTube. |

This has happened countless times throughout history and when we don't kill them they pop up again everywhere. |

Aye, and I'd send it along to some new trackers and networks if I got hold of a copy. |

Used to be taxed at 90 percent on the million after the first million in the 70s. Never would see billionaires. All that money went back to the people in some way. |

Not poor, but keeping them from pulling away from us so far, yes. |

I think this is 50% due to suppression and 50% due to film goers thinking “wow, a 3+ hour movie about Musk sounds fucking miserable.” I know I did |

this. you don't need an absolute cap just an actual progressive tax that rises all the way to the top. Its a crime when the top tax tier was set barely into the six figures. then you got stupid doctors going republican because they pay to much taxes. you pay to much tax because there are no tiers above you. I thought you had to be smart to go to med school. |
