      It wouldn’t make anything cheaper. We owe more on national debt that all our billionaire could even come close to playing, and that is if China have us market value for the after we would need to sell from the billionaire to extract the value.

          Your right, so how would getting rid of billionaire change anything? They don’t have money, they have stocks and assets

            Which are money money isn’t the coin its the thing the coin implies stocks are closer to being money than coins in our very class immobile society its closer to a mystical property like phlogiston or being one of the elect a rare collectors pog is a more meaningful money than a penny a nice suit and white skin more money than either

              But those sticks, like rooms for example are only trading at 350p/e because of Elon. If we got rid of him it would be trading at 30 like every other car company. That’s would wipe out 600 billion overnight. You would get virtually nothing from that extraction and Tesla didn’t provide enough profits to solve us hunger or housing, and with the value being extracted the company would unfortunately fall to it’s competitors like byd.

                  I love Chinese cars. Americans make some is the worst cats on the market.

                  Also that “wealth destruction” would do nothing to help people.

          Maybe the blade would have to be replaced on every use, but the weight would still do its job.

          … actually, maybe the blade wouldn’t even need to be replaced.
