“They are like blind kittens,” a Ukrainian General Staff commander tells POLITICO.
Two days after Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched Starlink verification and blocked unverified terminals in Ukraine, the pace of Russia’s offensive appears to be slowing, a Ukrainian military official told POLITICO.
“Currently, such a trend is indeed observed. But it will be necessary to monitor further whether it will continue, whether there will be other factors,” said the official, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
“However, at some places, Ukrainian military Starlinks which have not been registered yet have also been disconnected. But the registration process is ongoing,” the official added.
So a billionaire’s decision to help an invading country resulted in thousands of casualties
Ban the rich, wealth caps now! Nobody should have a networth over millions, nobody should be allowed to hoard so much wealth for just themselves to use in evil ways
Anything over a million goes to tax
Well that’s the problem with flat caps. Where I rent right now, houses are very very close to a million. So if it’s just a flat cap without additional housing, I’d never own a home.
Also where I lived a few years ago. A mil was comfortable where I would not mind giving up everything over a mil.
Well I don’t have a good solution to the problem other than just making sure one house per family is maximum. I don’t think it would solve too much wealth problem.
No one to be allowed to own two. Unmarried can have one house each, but the moment they marry, they must sell one house. Companies can never own residential real estate, that may fix some of the tax issues. Also you take away things like second yatch because it’s “floating home”.
GP said millions.
999 million is enough for everyone.
100 million is also enough for everyone.
All I’m saying is, limit needs to by dynamic based on what one can afford. A roof over their heads, enough to eat nutricious food, enough to afford heating /cooling with some extra for a few luxuries and hobbies. These numbers look different at different places. That’s all.
