endless greed is remarkable. guys with $200B can't afford to pay taxes to the state that allowed them to gain such excessive wealth in the first place, often via government subsidy. this cancerous version of capitalism can't end quickly enough.

If we don't allow them to hold us hostage they will all leave.
Oh no, a couple thousand people, largely engaged in little more than modern conservatism, might leave the rest of us 300+ million alone for a change rather than demand fealty to their personal story and personal autonomy (fealty to which actually distracts us from our own lives); people who do nothing to assure the rest of us have food and shelter and healthcare may take their ball and go home!

How tragic.

End of the day we all have the same freedom to not care if Sergey has food shelter or lives in his car as the billionaires give themselves

End of the day we all have the ssme right to select ourselves and tell Sergey Brin "your needs aren't my problem."
