Thiel compared California liberalism to Saudi Arabian Wahabbism — but it was sort of a compliment

    Right. Like what are we supposed to miss? The taxes they don’t pay? The money they’ve stolen? Who cares?

    I mean “job creators” is such bunk. They harvest worker’s lives for personal gain. There’d be a rough transition period if they vanished but well… we’re used to it.

    They have this vain idea that the world would grind to a halt without them, but they’re parasites. I’m sure we’d flourish.

      These articles talk like we all aren’t already suffering day in and out. Like we’re all just say slap happy to be sharing a nation with 65 billionaires psychopaths and should be grateful for their presence. Fuck off, and take your election tampering and social engineering with you.

      It’s funny because if every billionaire disappeared, there would be no meaningful consequences beyond an initial confusion and disruption…

      If every worker decided to not work for a week? The entire economy, the stock market, supply chains… Everything would collapse!

      Without billionaires the world will carry on, barely skipping a beat. Without workers the world grinds to a halt.
