Cool, now do public education and public roads.
I'm suggesting that the choice between industrialization and skilled labor is a false one because China is industrialized and has a highly skilled labor force. I agree this is because of American owners seeking profit, but it seems the same won't happen to China now that they're industrialized.
We tax things that aren't money all the time, see property taxes.
It's also worth mentioning Gates has made our public education system worse by introducing us to the voucher system. Billionaires are part of why we don't spend our tax dollars on things like universal healthcare or free college.
I pay property taxes based on the value of my home, but what home is worth billions?
Deskilling blue collar labor is how America gave China a manufacturing edge. What do you think will be the result of deskilling white collar labor?
We don't don't need princes or kings doing PR. If we taxed billionaires out of existence we could fund that and so much more. This guy doesn't get to make up for whatever he was doing on Epstein's plane, at least not without coming clean first.
Here's a question: why don't you take their advice seriously instead of being so sensitive to their manners?
The important thing is that we use our standards to not engage with what is being said but to pursue purity in our information sources. We should start by disconnecting from the fediverse because you obviously can't trust half of what is being said here.
It's important to understand that any argument against improving one's material conditions is going to be rightfully ignored. Better to point out that without removing the yoke of power, any concessions can be easily removed.
