Sounds funny you trying to tax these billionaires and are failing to find any obvious way... which is what these billionaires do to hide from tax and paying their fair share.
I am assuming that you had enough saved up in the bank hence you were happy about the impromptu 2 years vacation with severance granted to you?
His own claims contradict his viewpoint and whatever the advice he is pilferring is to "move out and buy your own home". Only way anybody with a normal wage can afford a home is via going into debt forever.
People have done all of what you have mentioned here but still living paycheck to paycheck. They did it because they already know they can't afford stuff. Now they're starting to stop eating healthy too. You going to claim vegetables are luxury? Fuck you if you do.
less than 500 years to create general intelligence will be a blip in time.

Well, you let your industrialists out of their pen and those assholes ran amok, doing everything they can to not pay workers fair and livable wages.
This only worked so long as the pitiful wages were far better than what the people in those countries could get. Now that China and other countries catch up with the west they bitch about "IP theft" and other dogwhistles... anything except paying decent wages and taking less profit for themselves.
Its a loaded question with disagreeable premises.
