nationalize Facebook and Amazon
She also benefited from a corrupt system that helped her cheat her way to victory over any potential Dem opponent by way of superdelegates.Interesting...
Elections are about people, yet the Bernie bros refuse to acknowledge that million more people voted for Hillary in the primary.
nationalize and split into smaller companiesDepends which one of them. Those that are really doing the tech thing are actually treated like kings, those in low roles are treated extremely bad, with some of the stories being totally shocking. I know plenty on the first category, and no-one in the second category though, so not sure how accurate are those stories.
I think that equally worrying is also the way how they crush competition. They are killing thousands of businesses each year.
How do you initialize a company though? Is there anything on American's law that allows it. Does the constitution needs to be changed? Is Amazon actually a bad thing (some might say that while some businesses are lost, some others are created - independent sellers in amazon, same argument you can make for Uber - and the service to customers is better than it has ever been)?nationalize and split into smaller companies
It wouldn't happen to Amazon since they have a major competitor in Walmart (and others). Facebook on the other hand would be a prime candidate since they don't have any significant American competitor and are simply gobbling up smaller companies who may one day challenge them.How do you initialize a company though?

While I love buying stuff in Amazon, I acknowledge that serious questions need to be asked about it, and at this pace is going to become more powerful than many powerful countries. The more I think about it, the more I think that the future will be ruled from ultra-big companies, with states essentially being servants to them.
What's wrong with eating an unendangered iguana which also happens to be an invasive species?
It's clearly just a ridiculous idea by someone who hates the ultra-rich.How do you initialize a company though? Is there anything on American's law that allows it.

Sure, but Facebook is a bit less harmful, I guess. I mean it is a social network, not the most important thing.It wouldn't happen to Amazon since they have a major competitor in Walmart (and others).

hating billionaires is right and goodIt's clearly just a ridiculous idea by someone who hates the ultra-rich.
Many of the biggest advances in human history are contributed by billionaires. I'm not saying love them for being rich, but many of them have made the world a better place and became rich as a result.hating billionaires is right and good

But we clearly disagree with almost everything anyway, so this is no different.

is this cannibalism
I just don't get why some people just hate people for being rich without any regards for how those people got rich.I once had the same argument with a very lib college prof. His final point was summat about Jonas Salk giving his polio vaccine to the world for free. I looked up Salk later and it turned out he was bankrolled by a rich philanthropist. If only I had known that fact at the time, I'd have won the argument in style.
To be fair, there is a point on that. Bill Gates has given an estimated 50b to charity, and the work his foundation has done in Africa with vaccinations have saved thousands of lives, likely millions of lives. There are many good things that ultra rich people have done.keep licking that boot
Capitalism is a bit like democracy, democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.To be fair, there is a point on that.

Of course, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't hate this totally terrible system we live on, and hope for a better one. But I don't think that individuals are the problem, the system is the problem instead. And this is a case where the sum is greater than its parts.
I think we are way past capitalism though (or at least what capitalism originally was).Capitalism is a bit like democracy, democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
They got rich by stealing from workers cal. That's how you get a billion dollarsI just don't get why some people just hate people for being rich without any regards for how those people got rich.
Yep. Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft and Facebook are more powerful than the rest of tech companies combined.It’s mad how tightly locked down they have the whole tech sector. The majority of new tech applications are for smartphones. Facebook, Apple and Google all have algorithms that rummage through their app stores and can flag any app that starts to get some traction (like, say, Instagram - few years ago) so they can snap it up before any other investors see an opportunity and before the company becomes a player in its own right.
One can make the argument that true capitalism doesn't really exist due to all the rules and regulations in almost every first world country.I think we are way past capitalism though (or at least what capitalism originally was).
Whilst you can make that argument about Walmart and Amazon, how did someone like Warren Buffett or any of the tech billionaires still from workers?They got rich by stealing from workers cal. That's how you get a billion dollars
there are no good billionaires. Bill Gates took advantage of a complicated system of rules we have in the United states to accumulate billions of dollars. Hes not a billion times smarter and he didn't work a billion times harder.To be fair, there is a point on that.

Which are a fecking great thing if you don't believe in slavery.One can make the argument that true capitalism doesn't really exist due to all the rules and regulations in almost every first world country.

Wealth is created by workers and they are owed the fruits of their labor. Funneling it to tech dipshits or Warren buffet is theft.Whilst you can make that argument about Walmart and Amazon, how did someone like Warren Buffett or any of the tech billionaires still from workers?
Wells Fargo, the company that literally signed people up for fake mortgages and credit cards is first on the list.
You can make the same argument on a lower scale for practically everyone. The owner of that cafeteria in your street is evil cause he is getting rich stealing from his waitresses, etc etc.there are no good billionaires. Bill Gates took advantage of a complicated system of rules we have in the United states to accumulate billions of dollars. Hes not a billion times smarter and he didn't work a billion times harder.
wealth is created by workers and stolen by greedy people like Bill Gates. He has 4 houses (one of which cost $115 million) and there are 11 thousand homeless people in seattle. Miss me with the good billionaire stuff
Oh dear, the guy has given away 10s of billions and pledged to give most of his money away. What do you expect from him? Live in a tiny apartment and give all his money to random people on the street?there are no good billionaires.

How about he live in 1 house? Is that too much to ask? Hes one person.Oh dear, the guy has given away 10s of billions and pledged to give most of his money away. What do you expect from him? Live in a tiny apartment and give all his money to random people on the street?
oh man he's given away some of his money, the system that let him make 10s of billions at the expense of people who actually work must be fineOh dear, the guy has given away 10s of billions and pledged to give most of his money away. What do you expect from him? Live in a tiny apartment and give all his money to random people on the street?
Bill Gates can literally give away billions of dollars and not change his quality of life in any way. We know because hes done it.You can make the same argument on a lower scale for practically everyone. The owner of that cafeteria in your street is evil cause he is getting rich stealing from his waitresses, etc etc.
Gates has given a significant money for charity and that has changed the lives of many many people. For the good. Sure, it is easy to give 50b when you own 100b, but at the same time it is easy to give to charity 100$ for month if you get 2000$ for month. How many people do that though?
Theft?Wealth is created by workers and they are owed the fruits of their labor. Funneling it to tech dipshits or Warren buffet is theft.
Buffett still apparently lives in the same house he paid 31k for in 1958 (its worth 650k today).Oh dear, the guy has given away 10s of billions and pledged to give most of his money away. What do you expect from him? Live in a tiny apartment and give all his money to random people on the street?
What about people who own two cars? Or two bicycles for that matter? Or, I guess you own at least two pair of shoes. Why you don't give one of them to some homeless person in your city (you're American right?) who doesn't have one?How about he live in 1 house? Is that too much to ask? Hes one person.
As if Well Fargo wouldn't have done the same thing if Warren Buffett didn't buy their stocks?Wells Fargo, the company that literally signed people up for fake mortgages and credit cards is first on the list.
Bank of America forclosed on houses they didnt even have a deed to.
feck Warren buffett
