Protests in Hilo - Next on April 19th - and going on elsewhere in Hawaii
#44
Obie - Are you passing out maps to homes with powerwalls ?
No need - the injected 5g nanobots allow the hivemind to sense power sources. We are Legion.

is it acceptable to just steal the Powerwalls or do we have to burn them ?
It's a free country, do what you like, but it may be a case of burning them before they burn you?

Punatang - What's good for the goose is good for the gander (wink nod  Wink )
That image with a wonky cybertruck with a random door handle on the sidepanel and no powerwalls or starlinks under the tree (Santa says sucks to suck) is some real A1 quality work. Of course you'd be a fan of tech that steals from thousands of real artists, triggering hundreds of lawsuits, and consuming tons of natural resources, all just to make crap - brain as cooked as your goose!

Edge - I wonder what the average income for the bottom half is? The average top 1% income?
These measures are always a bit tricky to tally as many 1% type billionaires like Musk have little income, but just take loans against their stock wealth (hence the targeting of Tesla's valuation - bring on the margin calls!). Looking at wealth for 2024 you get:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-tax-c...ll-wealth/ (see chart) based on St. Louis FED data
Top 1%: $50 trillion in wealth across 1.3 million households
Bottom 50%: $4 trillion in wealth across 66.6 million households

https://www.epi.org/multimedia/unequal-s...a/#/Hawaii
Hawaii has less wealth inequality (49th out of 50 states) but still a factor of ~14x for top 1% incomes versus everyone else.
Top 1%: $797,000 average income
Bottom 99%: $58,000 average income

When wealth inequality gets out of hand, people tend to get yippy and gather to protest for more Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. Community is Ku'e.
