I posted this earlier today in the tech lemmy instance, but, they have no sense of humor and deleted it. I’m trying here.
Musk has burnt through $44 Billion. I’m sure even the government could have spent it better than he has
They would have spent it on bombs and missiles, not on useful stuff.
Hey they would have bought a kid or two a book. Maybe.
But bombs and missiles “Made in USA”, that’s how the trickle down works, right? 💦🚽
On a wrench.
You overestimate governments. But a blind dog could’ve spent it much better.
… he said in a post on a worldwide network whose creation the US government originally funded.
Who is this blind dog, and how can we make him president?! 🐕🦺
They spelled ‘eat’ wrong.
AXE THE RICH
Yes! Bombard them with body spray!!
Dear god its a highschool boys locker room!
My noses! They die!
Bro how many noses do you have
None anymore
Damn big L
Ze goggles, zey do nothink!
Delete the rich
Extinguish the rich
Yeah but then you couldn’t get that timely ‘X’ in there.
Let me introduce you to him: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/1700891 🤣
We hungry!
Execute?
The techie guys are also the ones with verified Twitter accounts and Elon Musk balls on their mouths in my experience so i can’t say i’m surprised if they deleted your post :/
Looks fake. Probably why. Lighting is all fucked. Ground not consistent with massive sign lit up. 🚩
But, doesn’t light always go only up?
Yeah, otherwise it would be called “heavy”.
Yeah, it’s hot. Heat rises. Therefore, vis a vis, indubitably, light goes up.
Smog. You get used to it after a while.
I can tell by the pixels
we can’t affort the rich anymore.
They spelled EAT wrong.
The joke is that Twitter put a giant X Sign on the roof of their building so the edit needs to include an X
Nope, T A X is an acceptable alternative spelling for E A T.
Nah, for them, taxes would just be another small hurdle to squash
¿Por que no los dos?
Taxing the rich, and then eating them. What could possibly go wrong?
A resident should display a glowing Mastodon logo through their window
The band, or the social network?
Why not both?
The social network is actually named after the band so… technical it’s always both. 🐘
🤯 TIL
Why not just project it onto the side of the building?
I agree with the idea, but where is the humor in this?
That’s X sign on Twitter building in the end of tax
Ah that explains everything. Thank you.
The communism.
Taxes are capitalist
deleted by creator
Ahh yes, taxes which have existed since the first and most basic state came into being – millennia before capitalism, even at its most primitive, was conceived of or practiced – are capitalist.
It’s kind of incredible how teenagers on the internet use the word “capitalism” the same way boomers on facebook use “communism.”
My bad, just meant to argue that taxes weren’t explicitly communist. I don’t have any strong feelings for or agains t communism yet, maybe I’ll look into it later. Just hate to see people use thr name of an economic system as a debate ender, although I suppose I did the same. Guess it’s just the debater in me wishing we could have actual structural arguments on thr internet instead of throwing slang words around.
Socialism is the thing you’re looking for. And in my opinion, market socialism.
Oh yes, an ideology defined by private ownership and small government intervention is also somehow responsible for the basis of government intervention - taxes.
It would definitely fit that instance too, it’s also some quality shitpost and could fit in political communities as well so kind of a universal one if you ask me!
Why did they delete it? Is it even a real picture?
You’re looking at it. It’s as real as this text you’re reading!
All I see is blonde, brunette, red head…
Truly, an unexpected Matrix reference.
I guess some users of tech lemmy might have felt concerned by this.
Ok, how much though?
I’m thinking from the neck up?
Honestly, just taxing the rich is one of the most milquetoast and obvious takes ever. Should not even be radical imo since it just makes sense
BuT iT dOeSnT wOrK lIkE tHaT
And yet here we are.
“Make the rich pay” is smarter.
There’s no “x” in your sentence.
The sign was a huge, dumb “x”, using that X, the new, ah, forget it.
I don’t care. Tax the rich is stupid.
Teach me more things! so I’s can be a smart likes you
Well, look who can’t adapt to new info, or just info at this point…
Tax the bidens :) or not those rich? The other rich!!!
This is not the gotcha you think it is. Yes, tax the Bidens.
Some people woukd disagree, look at other comments :)
I’m looking at them buddy. No one is buying into your bait. They agree with your assertion that we should tax people as rich as Biden. I think you’re talking about the guy who was trying to show you that if you have a problem with Biden’s millions, you should be even more troubled by the billionaire it seems you’re defending.
People aren’t obsessed with Biden. Biden has done some good while in office - a lot more than people were expecting. The best thing he’s done by far is not being Donald Trump. We all know why we voted for him, and it’s not his progressive policies.
“Biden has done somw good” hhahhhahaha
Why is it chuckle fucks like you suddenly lose all ability to read context clues when it’s an idea you don’t like?
Its funny how the rich are the ones “tax the rich” ans point to people who have more money than they do
Tax all of them! What part about it do you not understand? Do we need to spell it out for you? WTF is wrong with you?
Take the rich peoples money and give it to the poor! And when they are the new rich, take their money and give it to the new poor!
Correct. Except, the poor won’t be the new rich because there are more poor than rich. Many, many more. Hence the idea that the way things currently are is unfair.
Take the money from the rich, give it to the poor and we will have something slightly closer to economic equality.
What is junior high like these days?
Said no one, ever.
I don’t even think the Bidens are that rich by politician standards, but we should tax them just like everyone else.
Oh, sorry. Dont tax the Bidens
You have negative reading comprehension. You see meaning that is the exact opposite of what is written because it supports your bad viewpoint.
