This has to stop. Another infantile billionaire tantrum putting the world at risk. Some of these people are working on important shit, many times more important than running ponzis and insider trading.

I’d like to see a coordinated response from academia some how.

The fact that one person has the resources to cause problems for the rest of us is fucking infuriating. These people need to lose their wealth, forcibly if necessary.

Fuck billionaires.
