That’s right!

Pizza is not a dish French people eat

Imagine not giving a fuck next to a delivery truck

Guys guys i think we got them! Let’s ban private vehicles!

A down-top socialist approach would give actual democratic control over “capital”, meaning for example that those who provide the news would control it independently from those who provide the food on people’s tables, and big decisions inside them would be taken democratically among the big number of workers.

The reason these police kidnappings happen is that right now those capitals are all controlled by a very small monopolistic elite, twisting the national democratic process, preventing people from having actual control even over the State. Thus, media, food and police are all working basically for the same few guys.

Self driving cars will be so much fun if they become the norm

Or very high and progressive multi-property taxes 🫣

To my understanding, Market cap is the total number of shares multiplied by its current price. To do an experiment, if we were to sell those shares, the price would start shrinking, and so would the market cap, way before we can get that kind of money

The market cap is just a reference value, not a count of sonething really happening in the economy. It represents sonething more like investor expectations.

The comparison to GDP is interesting, but it doesn’t represent what it looks like.

GDP is, in itself, a reference value that represents a few things, this time it does stand for something happening in the economy, it kind of estimates the value added by the economy at current prices.

A better way to describe how important invidia is in the US, you could compare all revenues by all companies, and see how much Nvidia represents over that. I don’t know if we have that kind of number.

But to give an idea, we would instead look at the number of employees in Nvidia in the US compared to the total number of workers in the US

We are looking at a total of 161 million employed people in the US

And a few sources tell me 30k employees in Nvidia globally! Let’s assume they are all in the US.

So you see that what you claimed would mean that this 0.02% of workers in the US account for 16% of the totalUS output. Which would be insane

I hope my reply helps you, I’m also learning, there’s no shame in that

I had Mexican flatmates/neighbours during my master’s abroad, and it was always funny to me how they casually insert English words while speaking, with a perfect American accent whilist talking Spanish

As an Italian I might do that too, but the accent is nowhere near, we just need the word in English but pronunciation can be whatever
