It’s Shopify’s Tobi Lutke.
A reminder that he’s behind Build Canada and Build Toronto, and that Build Toronto’s Eric Lombardi is running for the Ontario Librral Party leadership as we speak.
Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
There’s ways to make that happen…
Why should billionaires get to vote? They live in an alternate reality.
They shouldn’t even exist.
Billionaires are such fucking parasites…
Under fire? Why do you guys keep missing?
They are fighting over what is the best bbq sauce rather than aiming.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
Financial obesity
I love it.
I feel like this is a copypasta from somewhere. I think I saw it before I need to start using it.
I throw it at any thread I find relating to financial inequality.
It’s lazy, but it’s honest work.
I love that term
Under fire? Put him in the fire.
A slow burning fire
Talk like this is almost like they are BEGGING for the guillotines to start rolling out.
Wealthy arrogance is suicidal.
They’ve been begging for decades
Why is everyone that has worked on Ruby on Rails a total and utter douchebag? should be studied how that one project seems to have spawned some of the biggest bigoted asshole douches in the tech industry.
Lutke is a moron just like DHH is a moron and surprise surprise they’re both from RoR.
Maybe naming projects based on expensive pebbles attracts people with an affinity for signs of wealth?

I used to work at Shopify. Wouldn’t recommend it.
Anything you can share without doxxing yourself too much?
This is the same company that simps for PP and MAGA
My brother was one of the first 10 or so hires of Shopify so seeing the little company grow into the massive company it is now in the 2010s made me like this guy a lot. He seemed to treat the team with respect and recognized/rewarded them for their work.
Then he totally ended up being yet another shitty billionaire (MAGA supporter iirc).
Thankfully, my brother quit before Toby’s dickishness was made obvious, and so he remains the nicest, down-to-earth guy that I know.
Hang em
Billionaire people shouldn’t be able to vote.
They have power through capital already, they don’t need more.
He’s right though. The oligarchs having to own news and social media to get the election outcomes they want, and then also having to lobby those politicians to enact the right policies is incredibly inefficient. It would be simpler if the politicians were unelected and simply payrolled employees of the owner class.
Pretty clear sign that democracy is an impediment to capitalism.
That sounds an awful lot like Feudalism in the making.
“Poors under fire for thinking that killing billionaires should be legal”.
