what do you think should happen when you start a company that grows to $30b market cap like cloudflare?

> market cap

that means it should have competition. The fact we all agree to just dump money in ONE company is dumb and inexcusable. The fact you just use market cap in a phrase as meaning profits for one company is stellar.

I mean personally, I'm a straight-up Titoist. I don't think private enterprise should be allowed past small family companies.

But within the capitalist framework that we live in? I think a progressive wealth tax that reaches 100% for everything past a few mil would be reasonable.

As much as I don’t enjoy the inequality its been with humanity since the time of Pharoahs and isn't going away anytime soon.

With that attitude, nothing will ever change.

I mean let's not be so negative here. The lives of majority of humans on the planet in this generation are incredibly better off than the ones before it and the ones before it. Sure wealth inequality exists but why don't we focus on moving the needle on important things than spending countless hours and energy trying to split apart our populations opinions trying to fix something that is inherent in human since the dawn of time.
