*Alleged+ genocide, and blocking people from going about their day isn’t the way to go about it.

Just fyi - protests that make life difficult for regular people just trying to go about their day, even those who agree with the protesters, end up doing more harm than good for the cause of the protesters. It turns people against them and their cause.

Newsflash - the government isn’t harmed by Joe and Jane Smith being stuck in traffic in 40 degree heat for an hour, making them late for work or to pick up their kids. Joe and Jane smith are, and they don’t blame the government for it - they blame the protesters and by association the thing being protested.

Now I don’t think protests like that should be banned - but if you’re blocking a road I don’t think someone trying to drive on said road should get in trouble when you don’t move out of the way.

More tax isn’t the answer given how utterly disgracefully wasteful our government and politicians are with our tax dollars. Give them more and they’ll waste more and enrich themselves more. It also doesn’t fix anything, especially not things like political “donations”/bribes - laws fix things like that, but who make laws? Oh right, the politicians on the take, which is why it won’t happen.

What the billionaires need to do is start and run highly efficient charities that actually help people. They could even just not claim deductions if they want to pay more tax as well.

They should do things like make subscription services for essentials, sold at well below cost, so families and people that are struggling can have guaranteed necessities like basic food, clothes, toiletries, and so on for day $50 a week. This way their money goes directly to the people, not the politicians and their mates. Look at what Mark Cuban has done with his pharmaceutical company for example.

That’s what billionaires should be doing. Pledging to pay more tax when you know you’re never going to have to is just more pathetic virtue signalling. Open a supermarket where nothing is over $5. Start your own health insurance company where there are no exclusions and no excess/deductible for making claims, and it only costs $25 a month. The list of ways they can actually help are endless, they just don’t want to actually do any of them - they just want you to think they want to help.
