Good, good--now, how do we take his money away from him? 🤔

Fortunately, government has an excellent method that it can use to take away unearned wealth from the wealthiest first: Progressive wealth taxation.

Now we need to demand our governments do that. I'm in favour of at least 90% rate wealth tax at the top, similar to what USA income taxes were.

That doesn't work on people like Musk, who have high assets and live off borrowed money

high assets and live off borrowed money

Right. Count assets as wealth and tax them as such.

And nationalise a fraction of Tesla and SpaceX?

In countries like Australia you can be put in prison for using this

Sounds like Australia is a fascist hellhole

It's very authoritarian and we get no rights via the country's constitution

[-] barnacles@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Authoritarian compared to who though?

They may have experienced covid lockdown in Melbourne. Most of us don't feel like we are under an authoritarian government

They're right that our constitution doesn't give us rights. Our rights stem from common law and convention

How is this harassment? He's obviously interested in every persons' RAM. I think there's a strong case to be made here.

Automatod emailing with no unsubscribe would be another one

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

So make sure you have an unsubscribe link and honor it. Got it.

[-] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

I dont think the unsubscribe link has to work. Ive been pressing unsubscribe on some gambling site for a while now and its not stopping shit.
