Why do you believe less free speech in politics is better?

He’s right.
The pushback is/was necessary and the pendulum will re-center. Like it or not we are a centrist country that tends to lean just a little bit right.
Yeah the Roosevelt family NEVER had a penny to their names. Poor things.We had to correct this in America once before, I worry the oligarchs will have learned their lessons and prevent a correction.
A billionaire coming to the aid of another billionaire on a billionaires propaganda social media platform. Weird times we live in.
I think those fellas deserve more tax breaks.
I think those fellas get plenty of tax breaks now. Including the ability to deduct big expenses for accountants and tax lawyers and lobbyists and if the deductions are legal why shouldn’t they?
The time it took to respond and him being a Billionaire throwing a second wedding in Vail makes me think there was for sure some smoke there. I assure you the wedding was not 60k nor 600k nor 6 million…..
So Larry shares his wisdom with the world almost two months before the election.
Big Brother is already watching and unless you live on 238 acres farming wheat in East BumbleBleep Kansas you’ve been on a camera somewhere.
Privacy is a huge issue, and we have none in the US from corporations or government. I think the headline has some other implications, if you can't see the issue then you are a lost cause. You can't be a free nation, under a surveillance state from public and private entities, and have them use your lack of privacy to keep you in line.
DOH. I see the issue just fine, but please forgive me if I wasn’t being obvious enough.
Why do you care how much money or wealth someone else has? Who are you to say someone is evil because of what they've accumulated? Who is the "they" that say money corrupts?
You weren't at all. Not even a little. What you essentially said was "oh well they are watching us all anyway." You are such a dishonest person.
I bet some clown was saying this during the gilded age too.
And you’re so mistakenly and smugly judgmental- and very wrong.
I believe “they” ARE watching us and their ability to do so has been fairly sophisticated longer than we admit- and it’s constantly improving.
I’m not terribly worried because I’m a senior citizen anyway, and one who’s been deemed a non-threat (correctly).
The problem IMO is who is making that call and how the criteria for deciding who is being watched is determined.
Maybe some (a relatively tiny few) were but is it not a fact that the laws in place at that time in fact fostered the ability of some to succeed wildly while others (the vast majority) did not?
Not inherently but money does change people over time. These people are living in a world with a different set of ethos than we are. I'm not gonna lie, if I had a few billion dollars, I'd buy a house for my wife, son and girlfriends.
I'll answer. They have always been in favor of people being able to keep the money they've earned.
The question now is, when did Dems become the puppets of rich people?
That might be the dumbest shit I have ever seen posted on HBOT.
And then you have the supreme narcissist Musk who has $500Billion. To put that in perspective, if one made $1,000,000/year, it would take 500,000 years to reach Musk's worth. It's disgusting.
You don't need as much as you have, you should give away whatever you spend on wants instead of needs
It’s essentially impossible to amass that kind of wealth without exploiting someone along the way.
There are winners and losers in everyday life.
Ever gotten a promotion at work? Was it because you exploited someone or something along the way, or were you just the winner?
I’m gonna tell you a secret… I’m not a billionaire. Don’t tell anybody. A raise at my puny six figure salary position is VERY VERY different. If I had to exploit people to do it, I wouldn’t be in it. But that’s just me.
That’s your choice. If you have a chance to “exploit” your talent, ability, or experience in an organization where it might be superior to others vying for a promotion but decide not to …. Then you have opted to go in a different direction.
They're all believers in f@cked-up "philosopher" Curtis Yarvin as well.
It's exceedingly bizarre that clock-punchers and tradesmen feel a connection to these f@cks.
Musk never built a single company though. So your thought process is already flawed
Why do you care if someone has more money than you? If you want a higher net worth, do something about it.
I don’t feel a connection to a lot of people- rich or poor.
Are you saying that anyone who says Mills/Bills are allowed to be rich in a capitalist society is a clock punching f***?
