Gifs don’t stay gifs if you paste them in from the clipboard, but they do stay gifs if you upload them as a file. It’s an annoying bug.

  • accumulate absurd wealth
  • worry about government finances
  • don’t pay taxes
  • leave
  • complain about having to leave

They’re not actually leaving, besides a small minority. Right now they’re a big fish in a small pond, and leaving it behind isn’t as easy as they say it is.

It’s ironic that the left and the right share the fantasy of Atlas Shrugged: that all of the rich people would fuck off and go live isolated inside a mountain to show how much (little) we need them

naught101@lemmy.world on 25 May 13:18 collapse

Which part of the right thinks that?

gedaliyah@lemmy.world on 25 May 13:29 collapse

It’s the same story, but the right reads Atlas Shrugged as a cautionary tale, where the left reads it as aspirational.

“People have already tasted the drug of welfare.”

States the 30 year old American-educated “heir to a business empire”.

Welfare hits differently when it comes from inside the family.

So you’re saying they’ve already tasted the drug of excess wealth.

The more of them going out, the better the hopes for the country. I wish the super rich in my country did the same, but those fuckers won’t get away so easy.

I can't wait for the day the last country these leeches run off to, bring the same legislation into effect. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in one of their rooms, just see the desperation in their eyes...

nah they’ll buy some island and spend an ungodly amount of money lobbying for it to be their own nation

This might present a problem for Trump. Trump wants American companies to control the oil. If the left takes over, they will certainly want much of the profits.

the oil of… Colombia?

I know Colombia has oil, but I assume you’re talking about Venezuela.
