Yeah, the existence of billionaires is a problem. But then again, so is the existence of millionaires and thousandaires.

Honestly if any one has more than $999 the government should take it from them.

He owns enough shares that there would be a significant change in the supply/demand ratio when California forces him to sell to meet his tax burden. That would tank the stock price because way too much supply when he tries to sell.

So basically meta stepped in to say they'd pay a portion of zucks tax burden to protect the supply/demand ratio of the stock, which protects the overall market price of Facebook stock and the valuation of the company as a whole.

Wealth taxes are inherently stupid in our modern financial system and this is a clear example of why.

There is no such thing as unbiased reporting, so to balance it out just check more sources that have different biases.

Ground news is a site that provides feeds from everyone. They are decent at making sure all sides of a story are represented in their feed.

> US military has essentially nowhere left on the continent it feels like it can leave it's equipment.

You should look into how many air craft carriers the US has, how carrier groups work, and then also look at the air force and the operating range of some of our air craft.

Some of the aircraft literally take off from the Continental us when they run missions in the middle east.

Also there are somewhere between 20 and 28 US military bases in the middle east alone plus 30-40 in europe. All of those could easily host offensive strike craft just fine.

it looks like you don't have a good understanding of the capabilities of the US military or how we operate, so perhaps you should do more research.

Also, just FYI, every single one of the sources you cited has some pretty heavy bias. It might help you to seek out some alternative sources. I think you're in some kind of algorithm bubble and it's distorting your world view.
