   @ChrisMayLA6 I notice folks like Musk are increasingly weighing into politics—usually the populist right. They haven't really thought it through. If the people on the centre-left are under attack from the billionaire elite, what incentive is there for them to go easy on them? I'm looking forward to Stramer/Harris era where these techbros get what's coming their way. It's long overdue...

     With the G20 making noises about taxing the rich, there's quite a bit of commentary suggesting the tide may be changing on how we treat the super-rich... but at the same time we also know that a number of low tax countries have been 'putting out their wares' to attract those fleeing such (purported) developments....

     will anything really change?

     the cynic in me thinks any changes will be marginal & incremental.

     The rich remain the most dangerous minority!

     @Thebratdragon @ChrisMayLA6 Can we just work out how to negotiate safe passage for the likes of @goatsarah as she’s not doing any harm bobbing around on the briney

     @Thebratdragon @ChrisMayLA6 It’s a more heroic way to go than getting pounced on by Mister Tibbles

     @christineburns @ChrisMayLA6 fleets of seagulls divebombing.

     The Orcas are doing well, their test programme is a success and they are now ramping it up they have told me.

     @Thebratdragon @ChrisMayLA6 We need to train the Orcas to work more efficiently. Then we need to train big birds to target the private jets.

     @christineburns @ChrisMayLA6 I blame the whales, once they started targetting yachts they had to find somewhere else to be.

     @ChrisMayLA6 If only the toxic billionaires had been content loafing around on their super yachts and getting STDs / fat we’d have been content to ignore them perhaps. But buying up politicians and seeking to topple democracies mean that maybe it’s time they received a sharp reminder of who was tolerating their morbid acquisitive urges.
