Capitalism is broken. That& #39;s enough to provide $15,000 per employee (at 850,000 est.)
Instead, they& #39;re counting the mins it takes to go to the bathroom & that gets deducted from pay.
There& #39;s a better way. Nobody is demanding a windfall.
All they want is dignity. A living wage. https://twitter.com/LeeCamp/status/1286022304200302593">https://twitter.com/LeeCamp/s...

The way @JackMa looks at billionaires is great & I believe it 100%.
"When you have 1 billion dollars, that& #39;s not your money. That& #39;s the trust society gives (to) you."
It& #39;s no longer about you exploiting a luxury lifestyle. It& #39;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& #39;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& #39;m not a fan of trickledown economics"

Tom Steyer on @AOC & Green New Deal:
"When you& #39;re talking about physics, you can say zero and I can say hundred, but Mother Nature will say whatever the truth is, and she& #39;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& #39;t think we& #39;re going to have a choice."

Nick Hanauer on trickdown economics:
"I earn a 1,000 times the median wage, but I don& #39;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?
