I’m homeless. I have a PhD and I guarantee I’ve contributed more to society than this fat cat.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

There’s literally no downside to overeating if you’re a rich fuck. Your money buys you sex, companionship, friendship, the best medicine and doctors in the world (all of this is in air quotes), whatever your shallow heart desires. They don’t go for anything beyond the surface, it’s all they care about and know, because they’re all sociopaths.

The most recent estimates of unhoused people in the United States is 771,000 (https://www.security.org/resources/homeless-statistics/). At $8.13 per day, that works out to 2.3 billion dollars per year. Since he is too stupid to do math, I’m not sure he is aware of how much it would actually cost him for his plan.

When he said “we’ll give them a check” he meant taxpayers, not himself. He is too smart to pay taxes no doubt.

More like born rich to pay someone smart enough to avoid paying taxes.

We’re spending about that much per day right now pissing away western hegemony in Iran. pity, that money could do so much more good as UBI.
In fact, I’d argue we should increase federal income taxes on the billionaires to 80%, then use the proceeds to give every US citizen free healthcare, and outlaw homelessness by building public housing to place them in if someone needs/wants it.
If billionaires such as this guy don’t like that, I’m sure the good people of Uganda would gladly take them in considering the great value they add to a society.

I don’t know anything about Dune so I always think about the spirit of Harkonnen from Hellsing when people mention the name and TIL it’s “a humorous caricature of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, the principle villain [from dune]”… So I was thinking about the right guy just in a round-about way

How about he go live there instead.
Also just, beyond the cruelty of it all, imagine being down on your luck and between homes and jobs and now you’re shipped to the other side of the world (where you may face death for your sexual orientation) and now what might have been temporary for you, a rough period of living in your car or on the street before you get back on your feet, is now the rest of your life spent desperately trying to get back home.
I was housing unstable in college and had to sleep in my car a few times. I took that pain in order to become an engineer rather than dropping out and entering the workforce. A friend took a harder path and was homeless in college off and on, now she’s in law school after years of working as a public servant. When you throw away the homeless you throw away human beings, both those whose value is entirely in that fact (which should be enough) and those who will return to having a home and will contribute to society and the economy.

The most heinous part is he would ABSOLUTELY not even pay the $8.13 a day. He’d rage and fight it in court for several thousand times what it would cost to just pay it.

7 monthsYes, they’re all horrible, every single one. Any amount of power makes people more apathetic, and more fearful, even just a middle manager role at some middling company. The more power, the worse. These monsters are fearful, fearful that someone will kill them, or take their power, and that no one will ever love them for who they are instead of their money. They’re apathetic, they care about no one but themselves, not even their own family. They’re egotistical, some to the point of believing they are doing their god’s work on earth and can do no wrong. They’re also criminals, some directly, but all through the people who manage their money.
Billionaires are horrible, horrible people, no one should want anything to do with them, much less look up to them. Never defend a billionaire, they would never defend you.

That’s $2,967.45 a year. I promise you, if you told this guy we were going to start taxing billionaires $3K a year to care for the homeless, he’d say that was a Marxist wealth redistribution plot that would destroy America.
