Pretty simple really: capitalism requires infinite growth. We have finite resources. The world is literally melting around us due to unsustainability.
The pet peeve of many people is the greed (of billionaires, politicians, global companies, etc) for wealth (paper, essentially) yet not giving a flying fuck about the anyone else or the rest of the planet.
Billionaires and their companies could at least pay their fair share in taxes.
At least? I'm convinced they have a moral obligation to do so much more than that.
All this talk is making me hungry for some reason
For some raw billionaire flesh?
Brined and slowcooked. Like a brisket, but fattier and more cathartic.
Raw? I could fit a small gutted adult in my smoker. 3 hours at 250 F mmmmmm.
