Zohran Mamdani says 'I don't think we should have billionaires'
  • The whole billionaire thing is completely arbitrary. It used to be that being a millionaire was a big deal. With inflation, in a couple more years we'll have trillionaires, if Mohammed bin Salman hasn't become the first one already.

    If you make more than most people, regardless of how much that is, you should be heavily taxed.

  • Don't shoot me, I'm only the system administrator!
  • Reminder that unless you are protecting the lives of others, no job is worth your own life. Keeping a hospital online to keep patients alive? Sure, I might stay through a hurricane for that. Keeping email online for Helen in accounting? Nah, that can wait. We have DR plans.

    Also, you don't significantly increase a generator's efficiency by removing the load. In fact, they need to have a minimum load to run properly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_stacking). If you wanted to save fuel, you'd have to shut it down completely. If you wanted to ensure continuous operation, you'd already have a fuel truck on standby to go in behind the hurricane and refuel.
