Funny thing about "best behavior" is that it's defined by whoever is in charge of the venue you're in, whether it's society ingeneral or a social media community. Somebody always dictates what's okay or not okay to say.

Larry Ellison is one of the biggest pieces of shit and Oracle can go fuck themselves.

So billionaires will pay the right amount of taxes! Oh wait!

Lets use it only on citizens who are billionaires to make sure they remain on their best behavior.

Panopticon will not be the way

Leave it to the associopathic billionaires to take a look at 1984 and decide to use it as an instruction book.

I heard a guy tell a story about a vast AI-fueled cluster of bombs strapped to Larry's head set to trigger if he says objectively inhumane, anti-democratic shit can ensure Larry stays a lot quieter.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Give the entirety of Lana'i to the Native Hawaiians via Hawaiian Home Lands and boot Larry Ellison out into the sea on a raft or something.

Well, if you own a world inhabited by a few billion people, you want to make sure they’re optimally generating value for you and not bringing down the value of your holdings.

Most people only have one skeleton, but you've got my support either way!

Can we apply it to tax cheats first?
