    I don’t care to hear about any reasoning about “bad” vs “good” billionaire nonsense. There are people in the world that need immediate access to food and shelter, but won’t get either largely due to billionaire cunts hoarding the wealth to try and get a top score into the history books.

    It’s a class of people that shouldn’t have come into existence. Their being is a strain on the rest of humanity and nature in general.

      I’m not defending all billionaires, but there is nothing wrong having net worth of at least a billion because the assets came from your own company. What is more questionable is how can someone go over one billion worth of assets.

        The reason they got that money in the first place is because the company charged the customers enough to generate that profit, they could just as well have cut their profit and made that billionaire a multimillionaire and all customers would have kept more money in their pockets.

        They also make the decision to accumulate this wealth instead of redistributing it to those in need, that’s a conscious choice that they make.
