I'm interested in how and why they think it will be distributed cause it seems to me that it wouldn't flow to the bottom

Oh wow yeah let's get right on crafting a transition plan into billionaires theoretically not existing wow what a great idea. I had thought he was just demonstrating how much wealth they have captured with a thought experiment but oh boy, you specimen of progress, you actually want to do it! How brave.

Cunt.

Corps like Marlboro advertised their products were healthy for years, don't suggest that corps don't cause problems or won't cause problems. Billionaires direct the actions of corps and use them as shields for liability.

I don't think I did suggest that corps won't cause problems. I was going to try make the point that if there were no billionaires then that wealth would flow to the pockets of corporations not the everyday person.

People own corps. If it's billionaires or a trade union owning the corp, it's a little different.
