Tis a hard thing to keep in mind, but keep it in mind we must.
You can be wealthy and a good person, maybe even rich (up to a point) and a good person, but when you reach the level of Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, and other titans of this second Gilded Age, it is nearly impossible.
I wouldn't say impossible, but so improbable due to the inherent corruption of the sheer wealth of the position they're in that it takes a titanic level of inner willpower to maintain one's humility.
Most people at that level of wealth—hell, most people—are not that strong.
A wise person once said, "It's not possible to make a billion dollars in a year. It is, however, possible to steal a billion dollars in a year." You have to be stealing value from somebody along the production chain to be accumulating that kind of wealth.
For some reason, Lemmy is not letting me see your comment outside of my inbox. Weird. However, yeah, I agree completely with what you're saying.
Lemmy moves in mysterious ways. It is not our place to question the actions of a higher being such at this. 😄
