Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison.

You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.

That dude was never on his best behavior. And now he wants to punish anyone that is going to out live him.

it is an attitude that happens to many rich old people; how dare you live past them and enjoy it.

I used to think I was heading toward abject poverty as our bs systems were going into more bs but now Im getting more hopeful. Maybe I will be dead or in prison.

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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How about using it on the billionaires instead?

Can we apply it to tax cheats first?

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 9 points 5 days ago

It will only ensure the opposite.

[–] tektite@slrpnk.net 15 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

Panopticon will not be the way
