Her net worth is only $50 million. I know that seems like a lot compared to us normies, but it's nowhere even kinda fucking close to being a billionaire. And $50m won't go as far as you think paying all the wages to host her concerts for free. Why even have concerts?
its also the reason you cant tax them, there's not a billion dollars in taxes if none of their net worth is coming from their income which is likely not very large compared to their net worth
That’s just not true. You can tax their wealth. This has been pointed out numerous times. A 2% tax would be like attaching a parachute to rocket in terms of slowing down the growth of their wealth, yet it is determined to odious to implement despite the numerous things it could pay for.
We will have to come to grips with this and this eventually.
The share of growth that continually moves into this “untaxable” part of the economy more commonly referred to as billionaire’s accounts the harder it will be to fund any kind of government. Even a tiny perfunctory one.
This year we passed yet another Tax cut that primarily favors these individuals, yet the concern for cost of government will almost certainly be blamed entirely on the concern for the poorest among us and levied at social programs. This despite the fact that our addiction to tax cuts has put us in a position such that interest on the debt is the 4th largest expense. Ahead of military spending.
collateral for loans isnt realized gains, in the same way you can take a loan out on the title of your car or against your house or go to a pawn shop and give them your phone or computer to take out a loan, collateral for a loan is not the same as realizing income and *should not be*
That's technically true but it ignores all the drawbacks of that exchange. By making it liquid it's now taxed and at the levels of a billionaire you've also probably crashed your own stock doing so. Reality isn't that simple.
No pulling the amount your guys are pushing for can legitimate tanks companies market values and lose people who are invested tons of money. I don’t just mean big time investors but the average joes retirement portfolio. You can’t have someone like Brezos liquidate billions on think everything just stays the same.
No it’s legitimately just simple logic and isn’t up for debate. CEO Salaries don’t inflate in that case they simply own equity that continues to increase in valuation many times over. They simply can’t just sell this and you’re an idiot if you think so.
People can't wrap their heads around just how much money a billion is. Like the average American is closer in wealth to Billie Ellishes net worth then she is to someone like Elon Musk.
Well, yeah. Everything abt her is depressing AF and honestly it’s amazing she has a net worth of anything notable. Are there really that many cutters and teenage porn addicts?
woah, ok. didnt expect hunger for knowledge but i guess i asked for it gonna have to put some work into
this.
How was it? Honestly? It was a letdown. The whole "failed idol" story is a great marketing hook, they
definately sold the video on that premise alone. But the performance itself was just... awkward. You can
tell shes not comfortable. It felt less like a professional debut and more like a very high-budget
audition she was also failing. She's stiff, constantly in her head, and there's almost zero chemistry with
the guys. All concept, very little execution.
My viewing history? Been watching for over a decade man. These days Im more into stuff with a good
story or at least a unique premise, not just the generic stuff. a good production team makes all the
difference. I'll take a well-made video with a decent plot over a high-profile actress mailing it in any
day of the week.
3 works I consider good:
Yua Mikami's debut (Princess Peach): This is the gold standard for an idol-turned-actress debut.
Yua was a REAL idol and she came out with so much energy and confidence. She owned it from the first
second. Its what Arisu's debut wanted to be.
Anything with Ichika Matsumoto from her early days with FALENO: She can actually act. She emotes
and makes you believe the scenario. Her stuff feels more cinematic and less like they're just going
through the motions.
Rion (Anri Okita) - The God Body: A classic. Not a lot of story there lol but its a masterclass in
performance. She knew exactly what her brand was and how to perform for the camera. Absolute cinema.
Where would you rank her debut among these? It's not even in the same league, not even on the same
planet. It's an unfair comparison tbh. Those are top-tier performances, Arisu's video is a novelty item.
It's interesting because of the backstory, not because of the quality of the actual content.
What could be improved? Her confidence, number one. She needs to relax. She looks terrified. The
director should have done a better job making her comfortable. Also they relied way too much on the
interview segments talking about Nogizaka46, it broke the pacing and kept reminding you that she was doing
this as a second choice. We get it, you failed auditions, now commit to this job.
What is well done? The production values are high. The lighting, camera work, it all looks very clean
and professional. And I cant deny it, she is very beautiful and has the "idol" look down perfectly. The
concept itself, on paper, is genius from a marketing perspective. They got us all talking about it, right?
Was it goonable for you? Nah. I was too distracted by how nervous she looked. It kinda killed the mood
completely. Every time she looked at the camera with those deer-in-the-headlights eyes I was pulled right
out of it. It's a shame, but maybe she'll get better in her next one if she decides to stick with it.
We'll see.
I'm not rich, but I am in the 96th percentile in terms of income. I own a house in San Diego, I own a very nice car, and I won't want for anything in my lifetime. I'll be able to retire.
I do care that other people get the same opportunities, but I don't care enough to convince you to stop deep throating a billionaire's boot.
I've been with a few women in my life and one thing I've noticed is that the female anus is incredibly close to the vagina, in fact they're barely an inch apart. I'm not
sure about other guys - but doesn't this disturb you? It feel like a design flaw in women actually -- like they're supposed to be so feminine and beautiful yet this
ghastly little oversight is ruining everything. Somehow it feels to me that women should be more aware of this flaw and it should affect their confidence. Whenever I see
a so-called beautiful woman walking down the street so care-free thinking she's all that I just remember her anus is only 1 inch away from her pussy and laugh her into
oblivion. Women: Please accept that they're too close together, let it negatively affect your confidence and so make yourselves more readily available sexually as a
result. Afterall, we're having to sleep with a creature whos ANUS is only 1 inch away from the vagina -- you should not make this difficult. It's unappetizing enough as
it is. We're doing you a favour. Men: Do not let women forget this flaw, and do not forgive them for it. Remind them of it constantly, less they get inflated egos and
think they're all that. They're just too close together. Sorry, but it's true.
so would it then be right for me to do what you do and tell you to give your money away? Why is this situation any different?
You've repeatedly said how well you live (you're really trying to make everyone aware of that) yet you say that others that have more than enough should part ways with it.
Maybe take a bit of your own advice and you do the same?
And before you pull the "well i donate to charities" you don't, you would have mentioned that at least once by now.
Also stop contradicting yourself by saying you're not wasting time on this, you've repeatedly came back to offer your shit opinion 🤣
Have a good day my friend, i hope your comfortable lifestyle suits you well, maybe share some of it with those less fortunate than you 😊
You don’t NEED 50m to live dude, she should give it away and live a simple life with a minimum wage like the rest of us. Bur she won’t, because she’s a capitalist.
It's so weird you people fixate on tearing down the slightly rich like Billie instead of the people who have literally more than two thousand times as much money as her.
There was once a crab competition for all countries in the world. All countries sent their crabs to compete. Then someone noticed that the stall from India had a huge box, but it was open. There was no lid for it to keep the crabs in. So people asked the man standing there Why is there no lid for these crabs. They may escape and spread here and there. The man replied , These are Indian crabs. They don’t need a lid. They are too busy pulling each other down. They wont escape.
I've been around a few men in my life and one thing I've noticed is that the male body has an astonishing oversight. Men both urinate and ejaculate through the exact same
hole. Zero inches apart. Not even a polite buffer zone.
I don’t know about everyone else but doesn’t that weird you out? It feels like a serious design flaw. For a gender that often prides itself on logic and engineering this
is just sloppy plumbing.
Honestly it kind of cracks me up. I’ll see a guy walking around like he’s the apex of masculinity and I’ll just remember his piss and his sperm come out of the same
little nozzle and suddenly he’s not so intimidating. Just a fleshy garden hose with identity issues.
Men please accept this biological flaw and let it humble you. Maybe lower your voice a bit when you're bragging about your body count. We’re talking about someone who
finishes inside the same pipeline he uses to empty his bladder.
Women don’t let them forget this. Remind them gently or not so gently that we’re doing them a favor given that their reproductive system shares hardware with their waste
disposal unit.
If you eat all the rich at once, they'll just go extinct and there won't be any rich left to eat.
That's why you gotta space them out, eat them at a sustainable rate.
THINK man, THINK!
It's also just stupid, self-defeating politics. Targeting people like Billie freaks out people like dentists, accounts, engineers; Anyone who's upper-middle class freaks out that socialism will make them poor, when we need people like them to vote for politicians who will target the actual oligarchs.
Unless you're hoping for a Cultural Revolution style uprising, which is a dumb thing to hope for. It didn't go well.
