Your grasp of how money works is surface level.

Let's start here: billionaires do not have billions of dollars like Scrooge McDucks swimming in gold. They hold securities for companies that are doing things on the idea that they can sell them and redeploy that capital later.

In other words: the money means nothing. All that wealth means is they're the ones who control resources.

By similar reasoning, modern monetary theory is that government can print money and activate unused resources without driving inflation very much.

So what you want is a planned economy. Soviet style. In fact the language you use makes it clear you're fully bought into tankie propaganda.

There are 3 ways to make people do things: money, love and power. So am I going to give you everything you need because of love? money is clearly not the means to ends in your system. That leaves the threat of unaliving.

And so we're back at gun control, the only way your kind is able to make such a system work: by killing everyone who disagrees.

Ok so America has 300,000,000 people. That's $3 per person for every billion dollars. Come on genius, bring that math, explain how all those billions divide into everyone having everything they need and everyone else will absolutely deliver those needs.

App issue, reposted

You're the one who replied to my deleted comment with " all those billionaires exist" (I can't actually pull it up in this app now to quote).

That's some maoist theory you're leaning on.

Do you know how many dollars you'd have if you took every dollar away from every billionaire and divided it evenly? Enough for a nice dinner, maybe a very cheap getaway, not enough to stop working or get all your needs met by someone else who is in the same position as you.

Can you quantify this surplus? Because your unqualified statement requires there to be enough to meet ANY demand. You just sound like a genzedong tankie who does not understand the most basic market theory that for every demand there must be a counterpart, who themselves will have demands, and there's no unlimited resource hack IRL (yet).

Your right to life ends where my right to not get unalived by your wishes ends.

Sorry meant to add here and this app needs polish... Deleted comment too slowly.

Also your tangent changed subjects. Right to life. Criminality vs liberties.

TBH I'm totally on a tangent here about Netflix's writing teams having their own stories in mind and butchering books instead of picking different books to base shows on. In my example the book series was overwhelming from Gerhalt's POV with arcs that were written from Ciris POV, and a little flash back for background here and there. The Netflix series started true to the books, and the last release had a completely different story and feel with Gerhalt being a supporting character. Wheel of time is a great female led book series (with similar elements) and is a good show so far, my point is Netflix's writers whose names we don't know and who are churning out scripts are just are no match for a renowned author's best known series, and I have zero faith in their ability to transform an existing story into something better. I don't watch enough Netflix series to give you a statistical analysis, but in the ones I've seen they were just throwing tropes in which is not the same as being allies.
