Sure, but we don’t “need” anything above our basic survival cost, let’s go live on the Savannah and hunt our food again.

Straw man detected.

I am not going to argue with you about rich people arguing whether or not they should pay more taxes.

Fuck them for sitting on their money while people starve.

All we have is technological advances. As a civilization I would argue that we have made no progress, and we simply repeat histories of feast/famine, war/peace, justice/injustice because we are stupid animals.

One would think after approximately 6000 years of documented history we would have worked the bugs out of this whole "civilization" thing if we were truly intelligent or making progress.

I argue for the audience for two reasons:

  1. The subjective experience for every individual will be different with any form of art.

  2. The audience is what determines if something is "art", so without the audience the creator isn't producing "art".

How are you defining Caucasian?

[–] Arkouda@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 hours ago

In the current situation yes. The point is we need to fix it so one doesn't need excessive capital to simply retire, and the rich begging to be taxed more can do a lot on their own to help without the Government.

I don't disagree, and the topic is "Millionaires who want to be taxed more". My point on that topic: Do something good while you wait and push for more taxation.

"Mark Clowney" is not criticism.

The point is: Yes, more taxes, but if not then there is literally nothing stopping them from doing good with their money right now. This moment. Not next year when they file their taxes.

I understand the extreme difference between millions and billions. My point is neither a millionaire nor a billionaire needs it.

This is about "millionaires begging to be taxed" instead of doing it themselves. I am not expecting them all to do it, just the ones who seem to not want to keep their money so others can benefit.

 

Μαθαίνω ελληνικά. - I am learning Greek.

I am at the point of being able to read Greek, introduce myself, ask and respond to "how are you" and how to say "I am still learning Greek can we speak English". haha

 

Results may vary as it is entirely possible to also convince yourself it works with the same method

 

EDIT: Thanks to a helpful comment I see why I was wrong.
