That’s the most on-brand thing they’ve ever done.

Every major political event in history was once an unrealistic proposal. Whether it can happen next week or not has absolutely no bearing on the fact that it must be done.

Reach out to your local political rep and tell them you support a wealth tax. Reach out to your local boomer FB page and tell them you support a wealth tax. Make the case. If public opinion and political opinion isn’t there then there is work to do. Put away minor nit picks and technical problems, they absolutely do not matter in the grand scheme of things. Build the momentum, tax the damn rich.

They can move out of the country but they cannot move out of the world. An international wealth tax CAN be done, the only obstacle is mere political will.

And it must be said, the ability for the rich to take their assets and leave has been greatly over-stated, since much of it is in the form of land.

Extreme wealth must be taxxed, or we will all live in desperate poverty.

By 2027? Why not now? These things have never been cheaper. Mandate batteries as well, LiFePo is cheap as hell and it would save so much money it’s stupid not to.

The downside is that when they have too much they turn it off. This is a wonderful problem to have. Your own damn article said it encouraged them to go harder ramping up the storage. It’s more cost effective when there’s more storage on the grid. Totally insignificant non problem, meanwhile the earth is on fire.

Fantastic to see workers sticking up for themselves on the other side of the world. An international labour movement is possible and would be a huge force for good in the world.

This is undoubtably due to the nefarious scheming of Big Gay.

damn how will the isps afford the maintenance costs of digging up a cable once every 100 years

You mean all that oil money that was spent on lying to the public and bribing politicians could have been spent on solving the problem this whole time?

Amazing how easily it’s happened with barely any effort. We could have fixed climate change 50 years ago but the fossil fuel industry wanted their money so now the earth is fucked

A guy in the US drives about 40 miles on average a day and there’s evs that can do 10x that now

They also let settlers get away with murdering palestinians in the west bank, which of course is a classic liberal democracy move.

‘no empathy’ people are wrong about cons. They have empathy but it is selectively turned off for certain groups because they have been conditioned to be afraid or disgusted by them. This isn’t an excuse but it is normal behavior - a lot of lefties don’t give a damn about the wellbeing of cops either. It’s not the same thing but it IS the same mechanism. Fear and hate stops people from feeling empathy. It’s human psychology and the cornerstone of all right-wing rhetoric.

I believe that by learning to undermine that kind of hateful rhetoric we can kill the soul of the anti-trans movement.

rightoids seething

Same people.

Damn you raise a good point. Afterall capitalism is when the means of production is owned by small elite, and socialism is also that but like even more.

I would have become a socialist way sooner if Tankies weren’t so prominent. ‘USSR good’ is not a great selling point.

Since 2023 Russia has dropped from the world’s number 2 arms exporter, to 6th place.

Russia’s already lost. They traded their entire military export market for a piece of land.

Ah yes, the economic miracle of…Somalia??
