Continued thread

One thing that @dw_innovation needs to remark is that it never was about #PlasticStraws!

  • Compared to all the #Billionaires destroying the envoirment (see @elonjet ) I'm shure noone can consume so many #straws to even come close even if they literally single-use them every time they take a sip from a drink.

We'd save the world faster and more effectively by #BanBilliomaires and seizing all assets around the globe exceeding €99M because at that level of #wealth it's generating so much #RoboWealth that one can't spend it unless one were to literally want to waste it all!

I already talked about that tho...

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @stolzundstur @bildungsangst @sixtus ja, das gehört IMHO geändert, genauso wie die Ungleichbehandlung von #Lohnarbeiter*inen und #LeistungslosenEinkommen aka. #Lohnarbeit vs. #Kapitalertrag was #Steuern und #Sozialabgaben angeht.

Wünschen tue ich denen das nicht, aber gerade jene Klasse an Menschen täte gut daran, ihren Anteil zu leisten denn schließlich sind Steuern wie Sozialabgaben Teil des "#Gesellschaftsvertrag|es" welcher deren #Einkommen durch #RoboWealth und deren #Besitz schützt!

@anon_opin not to mention:

People who "make a living" off "#ConditionlessIncome" aka. #RoboWealth with #CapitalGains, #Dividents, #InterestRates and #Rent should also be subject to the same #SocialSecurity and #Healthcare #Premiums and #Insurance terms as if they were #WageWorkers with the same #income.

  • After all, even a #Billionaire or #Investor can become #unemployed by virtue of loosing #wealth and/or unable to work by virtue of an accident, and it's safe to assume they could even become in need of permanent care.

So it seems fair to demand they also pay their "#FairShare", cuz if I as a #WageWorker can afford ~18% for #HealthInsurance and ~30% in terms of #IncomeTax, then they too can afford that!

@Binder +9001%

Noone has yet explained to me why Benzos, MiskRat & Co. should get #millons if not #billions of money yet they can't really "outwork" their employees on the floors to that extent, nor do they bear any personal risks that would rationalize that amount of compensation.

  • IOW: If someone isn't putting their life on the line to save lives like a firefighter, why should they get paid more than the #paygrade of a# firefighter?

What net benefit to society does a person bring who hoarded so much money that neither them nor their children or grandchildren will ever have to do #wagework in their entire lives??

@JessTheUnstill OFC!

Everyone who is doing #WageWork is #Working class, whether they're in the global soith and can barely make $1 a day or someone who can make $1k in an hour.

The problems are caused by the #Billionaires that live off #RoboWealth and decided to try to turn meritless and unfairly gained (NOONE can become a #Billionaire through hard and fair labour - that's just not possible!) #wealth into something to use as a club and weapon against the "lesser" and unprivilegued...

@eniko Eeyupp...

The injustice is that #WageWork is taxed at up to 45% in #Germany but #CapitalGails aka. #RoboWealth maxes out at like 25%, and unlike people working for a living, they ain't forced to pay into #Healthcare, #Retirement and #Unemployment funds...

THAT needs to change - globally!

And yes, they only take a low salary just so that they don't get denied buying commodities or financing smething due to lack of contractual income...
