>> An electrical engineer who has helped design robots. An organic chemist who, during the pandemic, worked on COVID-19 drugs. An education researcher, a sociologist, several political scientists, economists, physicians, and medical researchers.

I have much more faith in an electrical engineer than the rest of the academics. Especially sociologist and economists.

>Why is it normal that regular people would have to sell their homes just to have a prayer of paying their minimum

Because that is not normal and shouldn't happen either. And I dont understand why this is used as an example.

I dont expect normal people to have to sell their stock. Nor do I believe in tax on asset for anyone. Capital Gain Tax should just be Income tax.

In reality majority of billionaires are in industries and companies that does not even remotely have the same benefits or power.

Not sure why this is downvoted but it is a valid concern. I will wait and see some thermal testing as someone mentioned on new cooling design which I can't find on the page just yet.
