Pinata economics?

Could we alternate between Week 1 - a billionaire one week, Week 2 - a very senior elected official who takes money from billionaires or organisations to do actively harm the population, Week 3 - a senior executive from.a company actively funding political interference.

We need the world and her people back to safety.

Is he talking monthly rent? Americans usually mean monthly when they don't say a time period. Rent in Perth is currently averaging at $780 per week. We should increase the amount of billionaires killed per week please.

$800 still too high. Aim for $200 or less

Honestly it'd only take the top one, but I'm down with taking down more just to be sure it lasts.

Fun lil factoid someone said on a video. An annual wealth tax on super rich could eliminate the federal income tax.

The super rich have over half of the wealth and income.in the US. They also pay an average of under 2% in taxes. We could nearly double the nation's tax income by just making the super wealthy pay the same as a lower middle class family.

I think it might be easier to increase wages than to make everything cheaper

This is the stuff neo-pagans should be doing.

Maybe that's what the Aztecs were up to

That’s an innovative idea I think we should set up a teams meeting to further develop that idea

It'd probably take a single week to get rent down.
