America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Humans are excellent at anthropomorphising _anything_ for companionship.
We collectively understand why Tom Hanks' character in Castaway makes a 'friend' out of a basketball and becomes attached to it. We also understand that this doesn't mean the basketball is sentient.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death

Or maybe, just maybe, money is power and concentration of money on individuals is a threat against democracy, but you know, just maybe?
The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

This Norwegian parliamentary election has convinced me that political parties shouldn’t be allowed to take money from anyone.
The money they need should be public funds given by the government by some sort of transparent formula.

Hvis formuesskatten virkelig var så stort problem tror jeg ikke de hadde måttet lyve så mye om den.
Høyre skulle vise fram hvor fryktelig formuesskatten rammer tacogründer i Bergen. Så viste det seg at han ikke har betalt en eneste krone formuesskatt for tacovirksomheten. Denne skatten er et innbilt samfunnsproblem, et ideologisk oppheng for høyresiden.
Høyre vil redde grunderne fra formuesskatten. Grunderne er uenig om den er et problem.
Vi må leve med at de rikeste ikke alltid betaler skatt, mener Høyres Henrik Asheim.

Pasient 1. I februar er det fakturert for 54 timer, hvor pasienten er til stede i 2-3 timer.
Pas 2. Fakturert for 69 timer i løpet av fem måneder. Ut fra journal ser det ut som om 5 av de fakturerte 69 timene er med pasientene til stede.
Leder av det private foretaket tok 17 mill lønn.
