    It’s him, it’s a threat, he’ll do it to recoup the money he’s paying in taxes.

    Scumbag needs a lesson

    Good. They are starting to threaten the people of the society in which they want to live. It won’t be long now until those people are forced to start thinking they are just a business, not saviours or overlords. Just selling shit to make a few bucks, nothing more, nothing less. Tick, tock…

    lmao why don’t you just audit everyone. lmao, it’s like they just want newer way to use drones to scan houses.

    You all want it for the rich but what about you and your own unaccounted for items? What happens to some of you when your unaccounted items become objects that are supposed to reflect on your income, what then? repo or audit?

    Lets think this through of what could happen to the common man. How many people are gonna get away with using gifting as an option and how many aren’t? How many of those that aren’t are going to be judged based on racial biases? How many times are they gonna use DHS alongside with this?

    How much corruption with the technology will it take before we all start protests? I don’t see anything good from this.

    I think that there needs to be people that can’t be bribed to do audits to rich people.

    Nothing to see here, just planting new associations for the cultist, move along.

    Mass surveillance = i don’t like that (bad)
    Wealth tax = mass surveillance
    Wealth tax = bad

          So you, I and everyone else are actually super okay with all that happens as long as you have a mid tier Xbox to rent games and some plastic filled Cheerios to eat.

          Swell. Hard to blame the billionaires for treating us like dirt.

            People keep saying stuff like this, but it is a huge sacrifice and anyone who tries this now will be killed immediately, or end up prosecuted at best. Many still have loved ones to care for and a life to live. I don’t blame anyone for not going through with it.

            Even if we “may not have much to lose soon,” there still may be other options before the people go this route. I personally at this time am not willing to go this route, especially since some progress is being made locally using other strategies.

    That company is just a middle man with no technology of their own. The sooner everyone realizes this, the sooner nobody buys anything from them. Even military people realize they’re a scam grift.

    The CEO of a… checks notes… mass surveillance company named after a skrying orb used by an evil sorcerer in arguably the most famous fantasy series of all time… warns that a… wealth tax on billionaires (like himself)… would cause… mass surveillance…?

    Thanks for the fucking tip, Sauron.

    On another tangentially related topic, Smaug wouldn’t even be in the top ten richest beings if he and his stolen wealth were real.
