Tech bros and finance bros would end up having to look for jobs thatll actually contribute to society as a whole and might pay more. I dont see the issue there

Feel like Tesla and starlink do contribute to society and don’t remember Elon owning any finance related companies. Not to mention the downstream of effect of every single high market cap company leaving America after you ‘seize’ the assets of one of them

If it weren’t for the federal government we wouldn’t have airports or highways. The U.S. highway system wouldn’t have been built without federal planning, and the Interstate highway system is primarily funded by the federal government. We also wouldn’t have any of the major railroads we have today.

I’m not sure what your point is? Minorities have been exploited many times throughout history, it has nothing to do with eminent domain
