    Communism is fun until there is no more someone else’s money for free handouts.

    I adapted it but it’s still valid I guess.

    Expect companies to flee the state just as happened in LA.

      Where do you think those billionaires got their money?

      spoiler

      Its all Someone Else’s Money

      New York as a whole has ridiculous taxes because of insane police budgets and corruption allowing stuff like ambulance companies charging the state 3K/trip for non-emergency weekly dialysis visits.

      Which is weirdly similar to California which you’d think was a communist utopia the way rightwingers talk about it.

        If I sell you a thing, it’s no longer your money, it’s my money. You get a thing that is now your thing.

            Jeff Bezos started Amazon and worked to expand it for decades. The company didn’t make a profit for something like 20 years (but kept raising money and expanding). Sounds like labor to me

                They were paid the wage they signed the contract for. Underpaid scoring to whom?

                  The difference between the wealth they created and the wealth they received was still the product of their labor, not Jeff Bezos. Do you think Lockheed shareholders got us to the moon, and not ya know, the engineers and scientists?

                    If employees create negative wealth because the project fails, do they have to pay it back?

                    Oh, you only want employees to have 100% of the profit, with 0% of any loss
