Mark Cuban Wants to Get Rid of Both Political Parties | Working Capital

[@DSuelo]

I’d love to vote on policies instead of people. Politicians have become political performance artists repeating what they see on Twitter. I can’t take them seriously.

[@Russo2024Zir]

If a publicly traded company opts to outsource overseas to reduce expenses, it should begin by outsourcing the CEO position. By saving millions in this manner, the company can maintain the employment of numerous American workers. These employees, in turn, will contribute to the local economy in various ways.

[@kjflick]

Mark Cuban is at his best when he talks business only and stays neutral on politics. He has one of the greatest business minds ever. I recall as an analyst at Goldman Sachs when we priced his hedge of Yahoo! stock that locked him as a billionaire in Oct 1999, he knew more about the exotic structure than a Goldman senior partner with 20+ years of history. Key message: What makes Mark great is his ability to prepare. Matchless.

[@lonzo61]

I've wanted ranked choice voting and eliminating the electoral college ever since I learned of it some years ago. Get rid of this corrupting duopoly that is making it harder to get candidates that we want--not the ones that the system favors. And reverse the SCOTUS ruling on Citizens United. Get the money out of politics as much as it's possible to do.

Mr. Cuban we need you to propose that the US business model have a fundamental shift against hyper consumerism and become more balanced. Not anti capitalism but balanced capitalism. We are on a path to destroy our planet and and country if we do not course correct. Money is a means to an end not an end in and of itself. Our children and grandchildren depend on us having this shift in values going forward.

I think what needs to be done, is that the office of President must be separated from the financial planning of the country. We can't keep going back and forth raising taxes, then cutting them, then raising taxes, and cutting them. We need to start thinking in 20 year plans. Long term, what are we doing? We can't really do this effectively now because each political party has vastly different ideologies on how the economy should work.

[@appnzllr]

Abolishing them is tempting to a lot of people. BUT From what I understand, there were no parties when the country started, but people disagreed (specifically Adams and Jefferson) about different aspects of policy that parties naturally formed. So if parties were done away with, they would form again anyway. The fix is to make them tell the truth.

You will be the first major force to make the PBM kabal CONSIDER starting to participate in U.S. equitably, honestly, and subject to law. - They are regulated public entities! Show us how to nail them. Stick them with personal pay/benefit ceilings or huge penalties at multiples of personal pay? Require full transparency of all trades made by or for the executive management, majority shareholders in public corporations? - less restrictive than complete ban or particular regulation of of timing of trades, but more social and U.S. economic justice for U.S. citizens. Let's push for elimination of funds from non-Citizen-Voters/Citizen-Jurors from federal elections. Let's push for this by establishing Public-Financing-ONLY of federal elections - this is essentially done in 1 step by requiring all federal candidate and partisan political party speech by restricted to Public Media (already owned and regulated by We The People). THIS ELIMINATES ANY CLAIM TO NEED FOR FUNDS BY POLITICAL PARTIES!!

Trying to provide competition in the pharmaceutical industry with the goal of significantly reducing prices to customers on a ‘cost plus 15%’ basis is extremely noble. Most of these medicines cost next to nothing to actually produce. The real cost in pharmaceutical industry is creating, R&D, testing and enduring the long term stringent FDA regulations. Pharmaceutical companies have to invest millions/billions to do this. Sure their prices are high. These prices off set the millions/billions ‘costs’ to bring that drug to the public. To instantly jump to the conclusion that it is just greed is not true. To find the actual truth would be very difficult to find out without these companies becoming 100% transparent and ‘not for profit’.

Rather than trying to get rid of the parties, perhaps we'd be better served by sharing the knowledge that the parties are basically non-government publicity organizations that make recommendations. The situation with Harris's nomination has made this more obvious. And therefore we should all start to pay less attention to what the parties say. Ranked choice voting is reasonable too, though.
