JustSomeGuy @erlichmanr.bsky.social · 18hAh, thanks for the correction. So only 0.0013% of the total value of the stock market. Were they to sell a portion of their assets, which they don’t even have to do b/c most of them borrow against shares, the market impact would still be negligible. 010
JustSomeGuy @erlichmanr.bsky.social · 21hThe topic is the wealth tax whose purpose is to replace lost/cut federal health care funds. I’m for it, you’re defending billionaires for whom you represent nothing more than an ant they’d happily crush under their bootheels. 120
JustSomeGuy @erlichmanr.bsky.social · 21hFirst, the combined net worth of CA billionaires is $2T, so a one-time 5% tax is $10B, not $125B. Second, the goal value of US stock markets is $75T, so $10B is 0.00013%. Third, F-em… they can afford it after spending decades buying politicians, laws, and their own tax rates and loopholes. 110
JustSomeGuy @erlichmanr.bsky.social · 21hThis canard never proves out.

JustSomeGuy @erlichmanr.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It’s batshit to me that anyone thinks policies like living wages, fair taxes, affordable housing and health care, good safe schools, and retirement that doesn’t require rationing medicine and eating dog food, are considered far left, progressive, or even left when 60%-80% of voters want these. 020

JustSomeGuy @erlichmanr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Newsflash! This is not new. It’s been this way for years. 60%-80% of all voters, left right and center, want living wages, fairer taxes, affordable housing and healthcare, good schools for their kids, and retirement that doesn’t require rationing medicine or eating dog food. 172
JustSomeGuy @erlichmanr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026What is fairness in sports anyway? If a high school boy sprouts to nearly 7’, nobody says it’s unfair if he plays basketball. In fact, everyone encourages him to play. 020
JustSomeGuy @erlichmanr.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yup. Not a national issue. Let local sports bodies decide based on the sport and science. What I understand is that HRT negates any biological advantage but my view is this is none of our F-ing business. 031
