Billionaires are cancer.

I won’t be taking questions at this time.

@aral
If markets were competitive and taxes were fair, we'd still have a few people with extraordinary wealth, but we would have no billionaires.

@bobwyman Maybe we need a better framework for guaranteeing the welfare of humanity than markets. Human rights, perhaps? Democracy? I find it a failure of imagination to believe commerce is the pinnacle of human achievement. We can be so much more than glorified fishmongers.

@aral
Every attempt to find an alternative to markets has failed. Rather than trying to replace markets, we should be working to better regulate the markets we have.
