How does this account for data caps vs unlimited plans?

I think I actually misinterpreted your original comment because of the typo in this sentence:

If billionaires were no longer allowed, and the money was re distributed amount people with 9 figure net worth already, it doesn’t solve anything.

(I now realize you probably meant to write "among".)

I didn't realize you were saying, "it doesn't help if you redistribute wealth to the wrong people". And that sort of set the tone incorrectly for the rest of your comment. That materially changes how I read your comment, and I do mostly agree with your points.

I'm not sure I agree that this isn't exclusive to capitalism though. If you impose a tax that effectively caps wealth, then you are inherently compromising one of the core tenets of capitalism: private ownership of means of production. And I'm also not sure that this type of tax even goes far enough to prevent worker exploitation, but I guess we'll see if it ever actually happens.

Uhhhh... NSFW?

This bird is ready to attend a masquerade ball.

Talking at shows doesn't really work. If you're able to carry a conversation, chances are you are being rude to the people trying to listen.

There are many ways that a concert can go wrong outside of the performer's control. All of these have happened to me:

1. Bad audio engineers. Too loud. Poor EQ.

2. Venue sold too many tickets and it's too crowded to dance or even stand comfortably.

3. Incompetent management results in poor logistics. E.g. long lines making people miss the show.

4. Venue itself just has poor acoustics that can't be fixed.

5. Crowd has assholes. People putting their phones up to record the whole time blocking your view. People shoving their way to the front. People not understanding how to behave in a mosh pit and hurting someone. People doing so much DMT that you can't breathe without smelling it.

6. Venue failing to provide free water.

Don't let that sour you on concerts though. I've been to way more good shows than bad ones. Usually if you find a good venue, it will stay good. Some performers are even so professional that they eliminate all possibility of the aforementioned issues by having their own staff take care of everything.

If billionaires were no longer allowed, and the money was re distributed amount people with 9 figure net worth already, it doesn’t solve anything.

How exactly does wealth redistribution not solve anything? The disparity is the problem.

if people have the mobility to move from jobs, housing and Healthcare taken care of, and their basic needs met, I think it solves a lot of labor exploitation right away

And how are you going to pay for that without wealth redistribution?

What's their op ex though? I feel like there must be a sizable portion of that which isn't actually necessary to keep the service up.

I'll second what a few people have already said: outdoor concerts are usually the best ones IME.

Multiple different electronic music shows. I've never done DMT so I don't know from experience what it smells like, but I was with people who've done it and they were saying that's the smell. I find it pretty obnoxious, please don't do it on the dance floor.

There ain't no way in fuck it's worth 60bn.

"crushing it" might be a bit superlative but sure

I would vote for Bernie in a heartbeat.

He seems to always be on the right side of history, he understands the root causes of our national crises, and he has solutions.

Problem: Two-party system, voter apathy.

Solution: Ranked choice voting, remove electoral college (popular vote interstate compact).

Problem: Bought elections.

Solution: Repeal Citizens United.

Problem: Federal deficit spending.

Solution: Reform government contracts with private corpos so we're not getting gouged. Repurpose military budget. Tax the rich.

Problem: Ignorant and misinformed voting population.

Solution: More school funding, pay teachers more.

Problem: All surplus value is siphoned away from the working class.

Solution: Tax incentives for employee-owned companies. More support for unions.

Problem: Consumer price gouging.

Solution: Break up monopolies, punish anti-competitive behavior.

Problem: Irresponsible banking.

Solution: Un-repeal Glass-Steagall.

Problem: Expensive healthcare.

Solution: Universal healthcare. Don't even try to tell me we can't afford it.

I love that the EU is cracking down on tech, but I also wish the US government could get in on that awesome rake.

This would be more believable if Elon paid his cloud bills.

I don't understand how businesses that use windows for employee laptops are not throwing a fucking tantrum. I would be.

In over ten years of professional programming, I have never used inheritance without regretting it.

AI generated?

It literally cannot come up with novel solutions because it's goal is to regurgitate the most likely response to a question based on training data from the internet. Considering that the internet is often trash and getting trashier, I think LLMs will only get worse over time.

Ha. I'd expect nothing less from Theo.

So Trump threatened to destroy civilian infrastructure. Isn't that a war crime?
