Maybe billionaires should get a real job that contributes.
Who are you talking to? I can agree with all that and still believe billionaires are actual people who provide actual value. Just like I disagree heavily with any dictator, I can acknowledge they provided value and reason for people to follow them, and I can acknowledge that it's an actual job. Did I say I agree with billionaires? Did I say I think they should exist and deserve their position? Absolutely not, but you're just as happy to project all your negative feelings upon me.
Out of touch hilarious irony
Economically speaking, billionaires are absolutely a terrible thing. It removes wealth from circulation and is counter productive to societal growth goals. One of the reasons we're constantly "printing money" is so that we can ensure there's enough of it in circulation and used by the masses after the wealthy extract their portion and remove it from general circulation.
Economies work best when money isn't hoarded or stashed away, but circulating fluidly throughout the economy. Billionaires are counter-thesis to this.
I agree with this completely, I can tell my reply is being heavily misinterpreted.
If every reply you post are misinterpreted according to you, then the problem is either you cannot communicate your idea well, or your point of view is the problem.
Valid possibility, equally valid but conveniently left out:
Life isn't an if-then statement let me tell you that much.
Get off your high with that codescending attitude.
It's a communication problem for you.
And since you're so eager to project your negative feelings towards billionaires on me, I'll assume you're suffering all three of my points.
Wasn't this a delightfully useless conversation? Two strangers being divided over the same hatred toward mass wealth accumulation. When you hear the quote "divide and conquer", think of this conversation.
Actual people I guess, but by definition a net drain on society via destructive resource hoarding. If I gave you $5 and then hired someone to steal $5000 from you, which action would you focus on?
Coming from the "well technically dictators do good stuff too" guy 🤦
Fight your strawman my dude, you're doing so great!
