Well said, and great idea.

Wait a second. I’m in Maine, and I have Susan Collins® as a senator and Janet mills(D) as a governor, soon to be running for that senate seat. Guess which one has an open for line for constituents to call? The answer is unfortunate.

“Her laugh bro”

At least when it was Hillary there was valid criticism of warmongering and Wall Street pandering / bribes. Getting people to vote based on her laugh really shows the type of citizens we’re dealing with. They probably love this article!

It’s just insane to think these guys built their whole livelihood around government land and a healthy ecosystem; and then vote against both those issues every time.

I don’t remember much of Sanders in 2020. It was 2016 when he was a front runner. The DNC said “it’s her turn” and went with Hillary. The sanders voters went with Joe Rogan and trump. I really don’t remember Bernie being a strong candidate in 2020 like he was in 2016.

I was in a world before enshitification I vividly remember the hopes of the 1990s. Watching hand held cameras get into the hands of the masses, expanding art and culture of the time. Watching that turn into YouTube and regular people getting paid to entertain regular people. I remember all the dead promises friend. Supply chains are too complicated to place an arbitrary market cap of 1 billion dollars. it doesn’t make sense when companies now serve billions of people. I’m not going to be able to open up a small business of producing iPhones. That requires an insane amount of resources that you probably cannot fathom if you think a billion dollars is a reasonable market cap. I just wanted to point out that a lot of things you enjoy wouldn’t exist in this imagined rule.

So id love to hear how you reorder the global economy and supply chains under a “1 billion dollar company max valuation” How do you get things like iPhones and server farms that hold a billion peoples data?

to be fair amazon has revenues of 700 billion a year. apple is like 400. You can tax the profits down to nothing but like, we can’t all get iPhones if apple is worth 1billion. im not even sure if they can make an iPhone with 1 billion.

I think the individual 10m is fine, but like, apple has a billion customers. im gonna lose all my photos if they are worth a billion dollars and no new phone. billions of people trying to get a product now, it makes sense that some companies are worth trillions. regulate and tax the shit out of them.
