Capitalism is broken. That's enough to provide $15,000 per employee (at 850,000 est.)
Instead, they're counting the mins it takes to go to the bathroom & that gets deducted from pay.
There's a better way. Nobody is demanding a windfall.
All they want is dignity. A living wage. https://twitter.com/LeeCamp/status/1286022304200302593

The way @JackMa looks at billionaires is great & I believe it 100%.
"When you have 1 billion dollars, that's not your money. That's the trust society gives (to) you."
It's no longer about you exploiting a luxury lifestyle. It's now a responsibility to do good w/ your privilege.

The right-wing pinup pundit Jordan Petersen provides an interesting take on inequality/UBI that could help avoid partisan paralysis.
"You need innovation. You pay for innovation with inequality. But you need to bind inequality, because if it's too intense, things destabilize."

When asked if should billionaires exist, Mark Zuckerberg replies:
"at some level, nobody deserves to have that much money"

Mark Cuban on inequality:
"The greatest cost to business is social disruption"
and
"I'm not a fan of trickledown economics"

Tom Steyer on @AOC & Green New Deal:
"When you're talking about physics, you can say zero and I can say hundred, but Mother Nature will say whatever the truth is, and she's not going to compromise with us."

Elon Musk on UBI:
"I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don't think we're going to have a choice."

Nick Hanauer on trickdown economics:
"I earn a 1,000 times the median wage, but I don't buy a thousand times as much stuff, do I?"
and
"No matter how wealthy a few plutocrats get, we can never drive a great national economy. Only a thriving middle class can do that."

The list of billionaires who agree with "radical left" ideas like progressive taxation, universal basic income and disapproval of trickledown/supply-side economics is loooooong. This thread could go on forever.
Is this just performative virtue signaling by these billionaires, then very different conversations happening behind closed doors?
Why are right-wing politicians so motivated to implement trickledown economics?
Why do they confidently speak about it like we don't realize it's a ridiculous lie?
Like it's not obviously self-serving BS?
Like it's not exacerbating the problem of income inequality?
