But how would they be able to live on that?

  I’d bet the military will get the lion’s share of those taxes.

    As bad as that is, it’s still better than the billionaires hoarding it.

  I think the bottom is supposed to say million not billion.

    that’s how much they would have left after being taxed.

  I was thinking about the fact that it is nearly 2025, and we still drive gas powered vehicles. Electric vehicles have been viable since at least 2005, our government just refuses to force the issue— meanwhile, the world burns. Humanity, as a whole, absolutely deserves all the shit that is coming our way.

    Electric cars are just becoming viable in the US. Previous to recent years, you could have easily been stuck in a ~n/2 mile radius of your home, if there was no charging station within n miles, where n is the max distance your vehicle can travel in a charge. The infrastructure just wasn’t there, and still isn’t in many places.

    For short commuting around town electric cars are perfect for that role. While the tech is still maturing and getting better, you still need an ICE car as your main, at least where I live.

      Seriously doubt that, honestly, unless you’re VERY rural and/or cannot charge at home

      I drive 45 miles each way for commute to work in a 2018 EV that has half the range a modern one does.

      I make it home with plenty of charge to still get around town for groceries or what have you, and if I go more than 130-150 miles in a day I can stop at a quick charger for 10/15 minutes and have ~50 miles more range to play with

  Scale the owed amounts the same as the retained amounts so we can see what a thin slice they are.

  Sounds good but please let us know how this would work.
