  • If you agree with this view: Why do you think societies should allow billionaires to exist? How does that benefit the common good?

  • It kind of is simple. They have to sell stuff.It's up to them how to do that.

    Say we tax them at 15% of US assets after the first $1B. That'll slowly widdle them down.

  • You don't have to kill them. You could simply take their money. Then they wouldn't be billionaires. It's not like the money belongs to them. It belongs to the government. They're just holding on to it for a while.

  • Whose opinion do you trust most?

  • Facts, by definition, are true

  • You don't need to trust facts.That's what makes them facts.

    Additionally, facts don't tell you anything about anything, outside the fact itself. The sun rose yesterday. It rose today. It doesn't automatically follow the sun will rise again tomorrow. That's speculation, based on interpretative pattern recognition. Or to put it another way: "That's just, like, your opinion man."

  • Senate passes bill to lower housing costs and restrict Wall Street from buying homes

    Jump

  • Anything that verifies the claims the senators are making.If you're a reporter trying to inform people about a bill that passed, you should have people read it and find out what it actually does, instead of just quoting the people who probably passed without reading it themselves.

    My reading of the bill is useless, because I'm not a lawer, or trained in reading these sorts of legal documents. I can't tell what's important or not. And I don't have a week/month to understand it.

  • That article is trash.It offers no details about what the bill actually says or does, just what the senators say it does. It's only reporting the horse race aspects of it's passage, which is the least important part.

  • Which is worse: Friends or Seinfeld?

    Jump

  • I'd say Friends is worse. But it's a thin margin.Neither are good by any means. But my sister loves Friends, and she has terrible taste in television, so I'll accept her judgement.

  • TIL that cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling products of all time. It cost nearly $1,000 per pill, even though that same pill cost just 25 cents to make

  • Yah, bestselling is wrong.Most profitable would be the term.
