    1 million seconds is 11.5 days.

    1 billion seconds is 31.7 years.

    1 trillion seconds is 31,688 years.

    This is an affront to decency, morality, ethics, and humanity. It cannot be allowed.

      We need wealth caps

      Nobody should be able to be worth even more than ten million, let alone a trillion

      19 million and anything over that goes to taxes

      That doesn’t stop him from borrowing real money from real banks using this supposedly imaginary stock value as collateral. I’m sure he’s more than happy for people to call it fake news while he buys yachts and islands and surrogate mothers with that money.

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

    This carrot here? Why I’ll let it go for 50 Billion dollars. Yup, I value that carrot at 50 Billion. I guess I’m a billionaire! Let’s ignore the smoke and mirrors and look at how many white south africans have emigrated to america under the trump/musk presidency recently.
