@utbluegirl I agree with you. I think the US is on the cusp of a transition. It is heading deeply into a #Kleptocracy #Kakistocracy #Oligarchy. If elites like Musk, become #Enlightened and choose to #Nationalize and accept #RedistributionOfWealth. We could begin a more #Socialist model like the #Nordic countries (i.e. #Finland, #Sweden, #Denmark) and work toward #Limitarianism like #IngridRobeyns proposes. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's #TorchesAndPitchforks and #PinataEconomics

New reading material #Limitarianism #TheCaseAgainstExtremeWealth by #IngridRobeyns

"So just take Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, put them on an island - full of coconuts and bananas so they won't die - and let us see how rich they will become. It's obvious that they can't become rich.

So that means that what we all together, and also previous generations, are ... making and upholding and contributing to, is what also enables them to become so wealthy."
