@realcaseyrollins It could also be opt-in, like, you ask for the form yourself. My main idea is that for the first time, the government would handle all the paperwork and such as the process can be quite convoluted, which I know puts many people off enough to not go through with it

Of course, making the process, well, not convoluted in the first place would probably be better, but I feel like that'd be quite difficult to achieve

@SigmaOne I agree with this but why should the government be giving the forms preemptively? It should be like drinking, you can use alcohol when you hit the certain age, but they don't send you a bottle when you hit 21. It would also be a waste of resources to send forms to people who want to keep their name.

The principle is nice tho, I like it. It might cost taxpayers slightly more money, but it shouldn't be too bad.

@realcaseyrollins he can buy with his money the services of people who do not earn as much as he does, or theyd ask for more money. If the target audience of the product is rich rappers, it wont be cheap for him. If everyone is rich. Nobody is rich.

@igel There is no rich without the poor, and their is neither without inequality.

@igel What if you're like, a rapper who makes all his beats and all his music videos? I thought being rich is a class, and classes are inheritly born out of inequality

I'm not one of those equality for the sake of equality stans either. Inequality to a certain extent is actually an indicator of a well functioning society and its oppression or lack thereof. Just saying, you can't make everyone literally the same and say you're making everyone rich. There will be no such thing as rich.

@realcaseyrollins being rich just means you cn get other people to do a lot of work "for" you. Without people "doing it", youre not rich. You only own what you produce yourself

In a society with total equality, is everyone rich, or is everyone poor? What is rich and poor if everyone is the same?

@stux Cheer up! Kanye West, as running for president, said he would give $1M every newborn 🤣

American corporations like @NBA and @Nike and others should not be profiting off forced, slave labor. I am introducing legislation to require multinationals to certify that they don’t use slave labor - or face penalties axios.com/josh-hawley-forced-l twitter.com/HawleyMO/status/12 #China
