That's where you have to tax monopolies.
Monopolies will resist but it takes only some expropriations to motivate shareholders that they push for law-abiding behavior.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Voters don't affect change because there is no influence. Create a voting block and offer votes for dedicated policy changes and you will get the change that you want.
Have you ignored the part about drones in my comment?
Look up why South Vietnam failed. Watch the training videos of the Afghan army. There was no will to win, for whatever reason.
If you have overwhelming numerical superiority, you don't need war, you can vote.
Then hurry up with riots because drones are coming.
You don't have to wait to affect change with votes. Politicians are traders of power. They will implement your request now if it secures their reelection.
Voting is only snake oil because voters are complicit. If you reduce resource usage to sustainable levels, quality of life will go down massively. Voters know and don't want that. Blaming billionaires is an excuse.
That's why politicians won't implement UBI. But you can do, as a private person. Other countries pay much more taxes.

We will. Cancer is only a problem if you don't have Moderna's cancer treatment.
The bigger problem is managing supply chains when China is gone.
Yes. Why else would you let women vote? /s
Who would pledge 10% of their income to distribute as basic income? There is no need to wait until politicians implement it. We can start immediately.
If you want to rent, who owns those buildings? One person who lives there?
Have you seen how housing prices rose when interest rates were low? Markets work that way because consumers outcompete each other, at least in the housing market. You need a surplus of supply, like the corn market, to keep costs low.
Like @espi wrote, you need fierce competition in all markets.
Sorry, my fault. I thought you were replying there. I will try to be less stupid.
JFK and the other politicians are no billionaires.
The Viet Cong and Taliban made billionaires. The tax payers had to pay.
Now add the drones that can do a JFK on every rebellion leader.
I think it is easier to use votes to solve problems.
