There's apparently a far right gun-loving superconservative corner consisting of one person, and another person that gets confused with yet a third person. There's also the far left Antifa section masturbating to the guilliotining of billionaires. Or something, I don't loving know.

I'm just excited that I get to work on something really cutting edge next year: Personalized Cancer Vaccines.You want true lifetime remission with no treatment, and no major refractory reoccurrence? This looks to be a step in that direction. This is the first kind of medicine where I've been asked to go to the initial conferences where we try to figure out what the hell it is, how it works, and how we quantify it. Nature article here: https://www.nature.com/news/personalized-cancer-vaccines-show-glimmers-of-success-1.22249 We've gone a step beyond jamming antibodies in, now we're working with injecting RNA to do this.

I definitely think the murder the rich fantasies are a little hyperbolic, but I’m down for extreme taxation of anything over 5 million in individual wealth. There are lovely rich people and lovely poor people, but I’m not sure outright murdering them would solve anything. If someone more intelligent or intrepid than I could write malware or AI to clear all of those offshore and Swiss bank accounts and redistribute it to all the people that have literally no savings, I’d probably be a good first step.

A huge tax on high wealth plus large tax breaks for investing capital into the lower and middle class would own bones and solve so many problems it would be like a utopian fantasy. If the tax rate was 95% for someone making something like $10m/year or more but they can get it down to 5% effective because they invest a shitload into their workers (or just generally into lower and middle class), that would be awesome, even if their workers are still paying a higher effective rate when it is all said and done.

Can this even be considered income? 15k in business income is almost certainly supposed to speak right to the rentseeker class, rent payments netted from an inherited house. Non-business income is idk gonna say social security payments or weed sales lol and wages are from them refusing to back down from their jobs as incompetent middle managers because it isn't enough to gently caress over younger generations at home with rent they gotta gently caress with them at work too by lighting poo poo on fire and refusing to learn how to use excel.
