Yup, I already have received multiple fliers that try to paint it as a generic wealth tax and do not mention that it only applies to billionaires or that it's a one time tax. People will be deceived. Hopefully the language on the ballot is straightforward enough.

The book is (mostly) hard scifi, though one with an emphasis on character development. In contrast, the movie is an unlikely buddy comedy meets scifi. They're very different and while the movie is a faithful adaptation, if the scifi stuff interests you I'd recommend prioritizing the book first.
Insightful comment, thanks. The frustrating part for me is that the media has a tendency to parrot his talking points without directly challenging them in the same breath.

This reads like something out of Stephen King novel. Thanks for sharing.
Hemming and hawing over genocide is disgusting.
If both sides are doing it...
Worse, they are controlled opposition

Yea, it almost looked like the FTS attempted to activate, but failed to destroy the missile.
