      I agree… What is it like 10% own 90% of the stock market, 1% own 50% or something like that? Major shareholders are the real evil oligarchy… CEOs are just shills they hire to take the bullet, same as politicians but paid better… I’d love to see some playing cards for the real oligarchy… But it’s pretty hard to really track them because they hide behind corporations and shit

      Really just anyone with a certain amount of wealth should be forced to redistribute that wealth or face dire consequences.

      Man, there’s way more than 52.

      He’s gonna need a Magic: The Gathering like system for all those fuckers.

        Yeah, but I don’t think you’d even need to take out 52. After the first dozen or so, they’ll be more inclined to surrender their wealth and get off the list.

      Having the suit one corner and the rank in the other is going to make these a bastard to play games with. How would you hold them in your hand so’s that you can see both?

    Honestly? That very much feels like a “fuck around and find out” situation and a GREAT way to piss off rich people in the event someone else gets blue shelled.

    Also: Free speech doesn’t apply to social media. You can and will be banned for no reason other than someone with the power was bored.

    Well, yeah, platforms (unless otherwise specified) are for-profit. Anything that would impede their profit stream is naturally going to be censored so that profit can continue uninterrupted.

    Can’t have some idiot poor going around making richoids uncomfortable, they’d just pull their money, and that would mean less money going to the platforms.

    Step 1: profit. Step 2: profit. All other steps: profit. EZPZ

      This story goes way beyond that. The police have been harassing him as well.

      It’s one thing to ban him from your own platform. It’s another to make sure no one else can choose to do business with him either.
