If you guys are a stupid as us, your southern neighbors, whipsawing through the economy will mean that 1. this loophole closes and two more open so there will be future whipsawings 2. no wealthy people will be taxed, they will be given loans and handouts and 3. you will elect more dimwits from the same party whose shitty legislation caused the problems in the first place.

My hope is that this whipsaws through the economy and hurts so many people so badly that a) we learn to never let it happen again, and b) that it emboldens governments to finally tax the shit out of the rich.

I’m so glad some people realize this: we are past the point of wishing things just get slowly better. History has taught me that in this world, when people are so apathetic to important issues, things need to get so bad sometimes so everyone gets a wake up call.

a) covid has showed us people dont just learn, especially when theres a lot of propaganda around it

b) wont happen meaningfully while rich people still own the government
