Robinhood, RAGA, Bribes, Separation between Church and State

Billionaires pay the nation’s lowest effective tax rate. In Washington state, poor people pay 18% of income on taxes. The rich pay 3%. A 1% billionaire wealth tax would single-handedly solve WA’s $3.3B shortfall & keep taxes flat for 99.999% of residents.

“Google is actively removing negative reviews of the Robinhood app from the Google Play Store, the company confirmed to The Verge. After some disgruntled Robinhood users organized campaigns to give the app a one-star review on Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store — and succeeded in review-bombing it all the way down to a one-star rating — the company has now deleted enough reviews to bring it back up to nearly four stars.”

A Major Trump Forum Scrubs Its Archives of Thousands of Pre-Riot Posts. “In the days ahead of the January 6 Capitol riot, there were warnings, but no guarantee that the day would turn violent. But users of TheDonald.win, a major online pro-Trump forum, were preparing for a fight, posting maps of the Capitol and swapping messages about being ready to die. In the wake of the carnage, law enforcement identified TheDonald.win as a key planning platform for the insurrectionists. And on Inauguration Day, the forum established a new domain, rebranding as Patriots.win. Alongside that transition, thousands of posts from lead up to the riot have disappeared from the site as though they were never there.”

@chamath socialcapital.com — In moments of uncertainty, when courage and strength are required, you find out who the true corporatist scumbags are.
This is how you entrench inequality:
We let the poor “invest” in lottery tickets, sports gambling and casinos but not startups.The first three are perennial losers. Startups have returned 15% over the past 50 years.
There was a bill introduced in 2018 to tax high frequency trading firms 10 basis points for rapid trading.
It was forecasted to generate $777B over the next ten years.
The bill was killed.
Guggenheim’s proposed SEC filing to buy $500 million in #Bitcoin via GBTC has officially just become effective https://sec.report/Document/0001628280-20-016852/#s65AABB22DA0B5D58B396AB32D9E161B7
So $3.9 BILLION dollars raised in the last 3 trading days, and they still don’t have enough capital to let us buy whatever we want to buy.
