Sure, lets get some blue collar solidarity and all cancel our subscriptions. I'm sure that the cable companies will listen to our demands and not triple down on squeezing the last nickle out of the Boomers.

Yeah that's the whole point behind fractional banking. The government regulates how much money you need to hold to satisfy demand.

Oh wait, I'm just getting word that Tether isn't a bank. I wonder what ratio you can have if you aren't a bank?

Also please keep in mind this isn't Reddit, this is HN. The people here were there right at the beginning, and most of us played with the funny money while it was worthless. Some even became rich (Not me lol)! So don't fucking gaslight HN.

I'm not sure I'd take a billionaire's view on envy. It always comes off as "Let them eat cake" to me.

I'd rather listen to someone closer to the bottom, who actually had to sacrifice for that viewpoint, like Jesus or a well adjusted homeless person.

Its not like InfoSec cares if the business functions, that's not their job.
