the only thing you CAN do is a basic income. Housing prices go up when millionaires want 5 homes, so tax them and return it to the people. Tax high enough, and they'll sell their spare homes, driving prices down again.

meanwhile, GDP is at 1.7 trillion, and taxes on billionaires are sub-40%

big brains here guys. Not sure I understand your incredibly big brains but you've determined we can't house and feed our people so lets just give up and let the robots squeeze the life out of us

If I were elon musk living in a country with legal weed do you think I'd just pack up and leave?

come on now, think this through. Are billionaires inhumanly greedy? or are they just bad at evenly spending their incomprehensibly large fortunes? Since Bezos, Musk, Gates, and every tech worker out there advocates for a basic income, maybe it's to protect the humans.
