Your daily reminder that by supporting Big Tech, you are contributing to the insane wealth disparity.
Rather support smaller businesses, where your money helps create actual jobs and grow the working class.

Billionaires should not exist. They are like nuclear weapons and should be treated as such. Treaties should be made to mitigate their damage.
Normal people fantasize about winning the lottery and having a few million mostly so that they can stop participating in the rat race, quit their job, have more time for creativity, have more time for family, have more time to be human. The fact that these people blow past that, and continue to want to hoard wealth shows how sick they actually are. If they were hoarding literally anything else nobody would question it. They do not work harder than everyone else.
To make it even worse, a lot (all?) Of that wealth is not even real. So they’re hoarding imaginary wealth which they use to keep everyone else from having real material security. The whole system is screwed and we just let it happen. Its quite depressing.

That would be a great idea. Imagine a group of countries who get together and decide to coordinate economic policies, like NATO but rather than military action, and it focuses on the internal distribution of resources. They could perhaps do a much better job precisely targeting individuals with sanctions, and would perhaps be a much better wielder of the “tariff” in any kind of weaponized fashion.
