    Tax property, tax inheritance, tax capital gains no matter if realized or not, tax passive income of all kinds. Tax them progressively and tax the highest brackets high enough that these giant fortunes actually shrink. There is no other way (well... besides revolution) to reduce the spiraling inequality which is at the root of major problems all over the world.

    Always hated that they pretend you cant tax unreleased gains when they are perfectly capable of raising loans against them. If unrealized gains can be used to secure loans then they have a quantifiable value that can be taxed.

      The backlash that you'll receive from the cronies of mega-capital will make revolution inevitable. That's assuming you can get so far as to democratically reform the tax code in an electoral system that cages voters, manufacturers consent, and manipulates the courts to guarantee only their people hold office.

        Checked Reddit and Fb, thousands of bots booing Greenpeace and defending Amazon.

        It seems that picture got its results.

        Good news, the first few dozen or so top-level comments on the r/pics thread are 100% anti-Bez

          You can fly the drone without a license in secret, and the law only requires that you scribble the ID somewhere on the craft -- something you do not need to do if flying for clandestine purposes.

          Not all drone's fly via radio, many use direct WiFi connections which can be completely spoofed over 3G proxies so that the drone and operator aren't in direct contact with one another

            I think they don't know how taxes work. Taxes are paid on income and realized capital gains. He's not renting venice from his Amazon stock...

            He's renting it from the interest and profits he gets from those stocks. I'm paying tax on the gains I get from my stocks and so should he.

                One day people will say “why do we let these weird weak old losers steal from us? We shouldn’t. Let’s get these assholes.”

                15 minutes later it will be over

                Worse, we'll have users telling us how this (somehow) is good for the left and downvoting everyone who lives there and says otherwise

                    I saw that short film years ago and it still sticks with me. Back then it seemed possible but the tech wasn't quite there, now we see it in use.

                        most bought drones also transmit it wirelessly too

                        many use direct WiFi connections

                        yes, the toy ones, once you get 10m away you aren't controlling that drone anymore, let alone recieving pictures

                        which can be completely spoofed over 3G proxies

                        once you start introducing the internet the lag becomes unbearable, and also phone towers are aimed at the ground, not at the sky, so you'd get shit reception anyways

                            I think workers would be better than drones. Drones can't even sting.

                              Tell that to these guys:

                              https://github.com/uavpal/beboptwo4g/wiki/faq#latency

                              Typically for direct connections (see this FAQ entry), the latency is around 50 ms. The pre- and post-processing of the live video stream is more than that, which you will also experience when flying in the original set-up (over Wi-Fi).

                              For more staged setups, there's always MAVproxy

                                  This is where God gets to prove he's real, and he's on the side of the people. If it's true, Venice will finally sink into the sea and become a legend, like Atlantis.

                                  If that happens, I'll finally go to church every Sunday. Hear me God? That's what it will take.

                                    Imagine if you took $100 billion from any of these Goblins, they wouldn't even notice it, but that money could fund homeless solutions (or any other problem) forever.

                                          There is no other way (well… besides revolution)

                                          The backlash that you'll receive from the cronies of mega-capital will make revolution inevitable. That's assuming you can get so far as to democratically reform the tax code in an electoral system that cages voters, manufacturers consent, and manipulates the courts to guarantee only their people hold office.

                                          I can't even really disagree with you, but not trying still isn't an option. It's our job to at least try to convince our immediate peers.
