I wrote about Zuckerberg's texts with Musk and how they undermine the principles of a fair and equal platform for everyone www.platformer.news/zuckerberg-m...

It doesn’t have to be about punishing success, or waging class warfare -- it’s merely aligning taxes to economic reality.

it is wild that there were *specific* people targeted for their immigration status and *populations* of people targeted as "collateral"

If the economic system has a strange looking graph, with a subset of outliers -- well then our tax system should too
