10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
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.
You're 12 aren't you?
I brought up points you clearly never knew or thought of and you shut down.
You need to find an echo chamber on Reddit if you want someone to stroke your comfort zone.
Look you're the one who reached your cognitive limit and switched to name calling. Call me whatever you like but you're the one being a petulant child while I was mistakenly attempting to speak with you as if you were capable of engaging in a real conversation.
