What are the best steps to reduce the wealth of billionaires?

There are a myriad of news articles here on Lemmy that display the abhorrent influence billionaires have on our society (especially the US, where I reside). I consistently read comments where the posters appear hopeless and despondent of the situation, while others jokingly refer to the guillotine....

The last step into the guillotine generally does the trick.

Roshar, in Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere books in the Stormlight Archive series. Everything from the magic system and the cultures to the animal life and the weather patterns are all really unique and totally immerse you in the world. Absolute masterclass worldbuilding.

James Doohan was Canadian though, if anything I’d expect him to get more Canuck and polite as he got older.

“Sorey aboot that, Captain, but she’s all ootta juice. What say we pull in fer some hydro to top off the dilithium and grab a twelver of Molson and a box of Timbits, eh?”

There’s a pretty good break down in the comments here with a link to an article, but long story short, he was heavily involved with Star Trek after Gene Roddenberry, and was a raging misogynist and homophobe, plus just an asshole to work with. Picture like a Joss Whedon type.

A misogynist, homophobe, and all-around asshole who was involved in making Star Trek post-Gene Roddenberry.

Picard Maneuver started it, I’m just on the Lucy train! Lucille Ball was instrumental in getting Star Trek greenlit, so he posted up some Star Trek characters edited into I Love Lucy scenes. I’m just rolling with it.

Well sure, but you have to admit that’s a pretty low bar.

Mostly sea shanties, Irish rebel songs, and Kesha.
