It isn't Gubment. I know none of us like it, but suck it up🀷🫑 All of them
Vance's ideas on "Christianity" are not particularly good in either accuracy or context. He's also a Peter Thiel buttboy so nothing he says is "good" unless you want technocratic oligarchies and the digital panopticon ruining everything.

Dunno about anything regarding his religious views. I wonder if he injects infant blood into his veins, as well.
This is probably the best response yet! You genuinely gave me a good laugh πŸ˜‚
I think pods like this are meant to foster the nonsensical notion of a "public private partnership" down the road to merely legalize what has been functionally true all along

Buddy, i couldn't have put it better myself.
They're going to formalize it and create official gubment revenue streams, to frontrun the Tax the Wealth crowd. There is no way a small handful of US citizens can own almost all of the wealth listed on the US stock market, as well as owning almost all of the data centers, as well as owning almost all of the AI models, as well as owning almost all of the data stores, as well as owning almost all of the commercial real estate, as well as owning almost all of the extractive industries, as well as owning almost all of the money... You get that rich, you automatically become the government. The End.
They keep talking about Technocialism, with Elon all "penthouse apartments and lambos for everyone πŸŽ‰" and Europeans get all excited, but I'm like, "He don't mean you, bitch, sit down." πŸ˜‚ Idiots.
Aye πŸŽ―πŸ’― And the tax the rich gang, the Bernie bros and Mamndani supporters are going to fall for it; hook, line and sinker esp once UBI gets thrown in the mix. This idea that Vance is floating is a basically a slow walk into that reality. The Palantir mafia now runs things, and DJT's memecoins is part of the circus πŸ˜‚
πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ and he said the lambos and penthouses thing with a straight face!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ We live in a society that is moonstruck with a "Bruce Wayne complex" of the rich benevolent billionaire who is trying to right the world's wrongs as a side gig. While I am by no means saying every billionaire is evil, at the very least we can conclude that Elon isn't Bruce Wayne therefore no lambos and penthouses are coming for the masses πŸ˜‚
Techno-UBI will finally kill the left. You'll still own nothing and they'll still own everything, but the DoorDash, ChatGPT, PornHub and Uber vouchers will arrive every month, so you'll be happy. Embrace, extend, extinguish, but make it socialism.
It's like, yo geography. There isn't even enough land for that. Would need to build the penthouse on Mars. I guess that's the plan. πŸ˜‚ 1. Collect all of the wealth in the country. 2. Setup space colonies. 3. Deport the poors to Mars. 4. Profit. Like the underpants gnomes crossed with Star Trek.

Classic "collapse of an empire" cycle we're witnessing. Only an absolute fool would say otherwise.
Hahaha! The poors would gladly sign up for daddy Musk's Mars plan despite the fact that Mars has zero magnetic field and thus a dead planet for a reason. Or they will be locked in 15min cities and the penthouses becoming a distant mirage like election promises today. Then it will be hunger games society through and through

Hilarious, isn't it? Most people: "man, this sounds amazing! We need to support this idea!" Me: "do you not realize how delusional all this soundsπŸ˜‘?"
That's because they think Elon is Bruce Wayne and that he saved democracy when he bought Twitter; when his grand ambitions is to turn into American WeChat

True enough. The founding of the Federal Reserve really was the tipping point. Funny how so many still want it around, huh?

I wouldn't say "every billionaire", but most, for sure.

I feel terrible for saying this and i know it's a tough pill to swallow for most, but... MOST Boomers really need to go. Ya know☠️🀷...

It won't. Look... there's no such thing as long-term peace. It's impossible. But, there are far too many Millenials and Gen Zers who are being systematically oppressed by all the debt that their parents' generation created. Practically speaking, we need these generations to have, at least, a somewhat closer level of financial freedom, if we want to see a potentially deterrable outcome occur, imo. And what makes this mess even worse, is the fact that the Boomers STILL seem to be doing the most spending. So... yeah, the Boomers aren't as financially literate as they believe. I imagine most are beginning to realize that.

I hope i made it clear enough when i said a "potentially deterrable outcome"?
Lol! I know but what I meant is that the way you communicated your idea didn't leave any gray areas, but not that the idea itself didn't have any
