All of these things can coexist. They don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Yes, flying cars may be impractical right now, but the technology developed in the process could still have useful applications elsewhere.

Yes, we may not need billionaires, but that doesn’t mean we should automatically punish someone for building a successful business and becoming one.

If you can’t understand the nuance here, STAY AWAY FROM POLITICS.

I think a billion is a ridiculous number that no one should be hoarding and anything over one billion should be taxed at 99 to 100%. It still allows all people to be as creative and successful as they like, still be ridiculously and absurdly wealthy, and all that taxed money can be used for real good.
