@arstechnica We'll make it there yet, same with hydrogen among others. Solar and wind along with geothermal and tidal will improve.

@arstechnica In the not too distant future, even a desktop or laptop will hit those speeds. Some never thought we'd have phones or laptops or desktops that would hit a million or billions of flops.

America's 813 billionaires now collectively hold a record $5.8 trillion.

That’s more than the wealth of the entire bottom half of the US, roughly 65 million households.

It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.

LanguageMan1 ,

@rbreich If I ever get to the point of making $10 million plus per year I would still say that I don't mind if I have to payout 39-45% in taxes because it's nothing at that level. I hope that I get there and beyond and can help others to get there as well.

@arstechnica No freedom of speech in China and many other countries and we're moving in that direction here in the US and elsewhere.

44 million Americans — including 13 million children — are food insecure.

Meanwhile, America's 813 billionaires are now worth a combined $5.7 trillion.

Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

@rbreich Absolutely true, but the number is actually higher than that today.
