Summary
Progressives criticized the attendance of billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos at Donald Trump’s inauguration, labeling them “billionaires’ row” and emblematic of an administration prioritizing the wealthy.
Critics argue the inauguration, funded by over $200 million in corporate and lobbyist donations, signals a pro-billionaire agenda.
Trump’s proposed Cabinet includes 13 billionaires, with a combined net worth of over $460 billion, and aims to push tax cuts for the rich.
Bernie Sanders and other progressives warn against “government by the billionaires, for the billionaires.”
Now I know for sure time travel never happens.
If time travel was ever real, what type of person do you think would be able to afford it?
It depends. It might be cheap once it’s been productionized, though the risk arising from it’s widespread use could be enormous.
Theoretically, if time travel is real in 2987, and it’s only for the 0.0001% of the rich, there’s nothing to say that in 3145 that some dude got a cheap mass market edition, shipped it back to our time, and from the technology is rapidly made across all space and time.
Once a time machine is invented in its worst state possible, and it works enough to send information backwards, the technology is basically instantly better and perfected, because some scientist from 1864 got the memo and worked on the math, some engineer from 2020 worked on the blueprints, and so on.
The information being send back is what allows the time machine itself to become instantly perfected, but probably the timeline where it was invented no longer exists, and creates a bootstrap paradox.
How do you know time travelers aren’t billionaires and this is the timeline they created?
