  • I’m told the best way to kill someone and get away with it is to hit them with your car. Not, like, drive into a crowd of people, but like nail them when they’re crossing the street or walking near the side of the road. Especially if they’re walking or on a bike. You can just say you didn’t see them or whatever, and our car-focused culture will be like “yeah ok that happens.”

    So hypothetically if any healthcare CEOs are out jogging in their suburbs, someone could run them over and maybe not even be charged with a crime.












  • I don’t think the working class is taking out $10mm personal loans against their stock portfolios. And if you do it with a progressive model, smaller players won’t be impacted much or at all. Otherwise, if it’s being used like income it should be taxed like income.

    I don’t think the rich people’s “resources” are that useful if they can’t turn them into fungible money. Can’t eat Tesla stocks. They have power through other mechanisms like access and owning platforms, but money is a big part of it. They can spend money on elections, on bribes, on buying platforms. So I’m not really sure what you meant by the distinction between resources and money.
