I couldn't agree more with a tagline if I tried! These same people are all the people that tore masks off stands at Walmart, verbally assaulted Verizon employees, and cried "but muh constitutional rights," to private establishments 3 days into COVID...are the new Nazi war machine? They'll fold.

You're absolutely right, that is a way better way to describe who was in my head when I was typing the idea. I don't know why I chose that word, cause I was even thinking, if people "in the middle," right now and have access to society at all, then fuck those people.

Your position, than I wish to advance my own position right now.
Also for clarification, I'm not holding you to the 100 million number, if it was just a quick number that's fine! Maybe a better question would be do you have a process in mind for finding an agreeable number?

I am big into Austrian economics, with a love of the Nordic Model. Admittedly, at face value, those seem like problematic ideals to have at the same time, but I don't believe this is a face value issue. I want to offer that as a framework, not as a foundational argument. I wish more to understand

In the form of funding programs beneficial to us. Like Elon can fucking pay almost all of his money back to taxpayers every year because he uses tax money and infrastructure built by taxpayers to make continued wealth. Mark Cuban invests in other people, and small business, and is into healthcare.

I believe that wealth is in the hands of consumers not producers, the only time production is linear with value in my opinion is food and water. I do also believe that if the wealthy piggyback their wealth sustainment with taxpayer funded programs or subsidies, they need to pay taxpayers a premium

For example, I disagree with the labor theory of value, I don't think we need to have people working hard to increase the amount of wealth they are worth in a linear fashion, I also don't believe the status quo is truly a labor economy as most Keynesian economists would have you believe.

Per year. Is there a place for them in your outcome or are they presumably just not going to get offered those numbers post plan?
It's fine if not just, real world examples.
Are you willing to amend the limit number based on how much wealth there is flowing through the economy? Or just flat line?

Not as a rhetorical argument, but as an actual question. Someone Shohei Otani, or Patrick Mahomes, or Tiger woods. Tiger was the first athlete to be worth one billion dollars, Patrick was the first football player to get a $500 million single contract, and Joe Burrows contract has him making $55 mil

When it comes to government it's about what you can get people to vote for, it has very little to do with quick and easy logic. As evidenced by the current political climate. So it's about selling the idea rather than proof of function.
Do you agree with that sentiment, and if not why not?

That seems like an easy reason TO lobby but in reality we need centrist votes, so I don't know what happens to their votes if Cuban does actually spend money lobbying, in some ways it validates the far right. In my opinion people like us need to inform Cuban that we as voters would welcome this.

Okay, let's start there, we are in agreement on this statement. In my opinion, he's got to be wary of how the opposition is going to frame his participation in lobbying. The Republicans already accuse Soros of funding all the Democratic protests and all that, which he's not.

Or do you believe that wealth accumulation as a whole is bad, and using billion as your line in the sand?
Or something else entirely?
I'm asking to better understand your position, I don't want to do what I was starting to do and just argue fundamentals. Which gap am I attempting to bridge?

Actually before you answer those, I'll leave them there so I can't pretend like I didn't ask them, but I'd actually like to ask you something for personal clarification. In terms of billionaires, do you believe that they are inherently bad because they could be using that money to be helpful?

Okay I understand that, I do. We live in a world where billionaires do exist, and a world that has never done anything to prevent such wealth from being accumulated. So in reality, what would you have him do? What would you do if you sold your company to an even larger one for $5 billion?

I will always be right beside you in your fight with silent but unwavering resolve, and if needed with all the explosive fury that I have for my fight. I know as a man, I'm in a tight spot and don't really have a place to speak loudly on my behalf here. One day that gets to be my fight, today me too

I am behind you and your fight first, them and their fight first. I offer it as a rally cry, I am Spartacus, we are Spartacus, I am a survivor, together we're immortal. I am a man who was falsely accused of SA, later became a victim of SA, and I am an ally to survivors.

The story and the resolve of all victims. Most especially those fighting in silence. I see you, I believe you, and I have empathy for your situation. I offer my story not as comparison, but as a commonality, I do not wish to take away from anyone's fight in service of my own. I offer it as a shield

I'm sharing my story as an ally to all victims, and not as a victim myself. I am a victim of sexual assault, but in this moment and for this purpose I am only an ally. My story is nothing compared to what these women went through and are about to go through. I offer my me too story to strengthen

Our resolve as a community. The world is about to treat this group of women as kindly as our peers have treated us. Which means they need our help, because a rarer still perspective is a victim who was believed and their assailant punished accordingly, with no social distortion to the victim.

And I deserve to be able to offer my perspective, to those that may need a new perspective. I'm saying it now because I believe right now solidarity amongst victims needs to be immovable right now. In some aspects all of our experiences are about to be tested by public sentiment, we must strengthen

In closing, thanks for listening, I rarely discuss this with anyone except my therapists, and occasionally close friends. My story is unique, not worse or better than anyone else, just less seen and much less discussed. I'm saying it now because I deserve to be mad, I deserve to validate myself,

I still question whether or not people believe that I was a victim. People made me question whether I was a victim, not because they have any evidence or anything, but because their dismissal was so swiftly decided and unwavering, that I almost believe their confidence over my experience.
