Far out. Wouldn’t it be refreshing if some billionaire encouraged unionists and paid their staff well?!?!
I don't think it's possible to become a billionaire and believe in fair labor practices.
I'm actually one of the minority on lemmy that believes in regulated capitalism. In that vein though, billionaires should be taxed out of existence. You can have tens or hundreds of millions, but once you get into the billions you really should be hitting a ceiling. You're not contributing more than you're taking from the country at that point and you're a risk to democracy with that much concentrated power.
I’m fine with regulated capitalism. I totally agree with you.
Capitalism can't stay well regulated according to Das Kapital and we're seeing a lot of examples of regulatory capture and late-stage capitalism.
