You can have a person be full-time managing the billionaire’s case, still a very strong net win.

And even if hypothetically the cost of tracking their wealth outpaced the income generated by the tax, it’s still a societal positive by reducing inequality, which is the root of most problems.

This is a good question: is it okay for you as a person to control a company that has grown that large? Maybe nudging people to give up control of entities that large is a good side effect.

We don’t need meat to survive but eating meat (in moderation) makes it much easier to ensure you get all nutrients you need. Especially when you have children, it’s very dangerous to attempt a vegan diet. Also, killing animals is part of nature and happens all the time. What’s not natural, and what’s unethical, is making their lives miserable before that happens.

And speaking of ethics, you just said two comments above that we should spread this disease worldwide, and were fine with people dying from it just for following the diet they’ve had all their lives. Not very consistent in my view.

Eating meat is not unethical, making animals suffer is. Humans are natural omnivores. Is it unethical to exist?

Most insufferably stupid take possible.
