That’s actually all… I’ll leave it up to you to speculate on the cure…

    When you learn Jeff bezo’s net worth increases several thousand dollars every minute and it happens by exploiting people around the globe, even forcing his own workers to hold their piss for hours so they can meet insane quotas, you think to yourself “what an awesome genius”? Is that possible? You really somehow have made it far enough in life to post on this platform without seeing how absurd this is?

    Even if we take the deeply sick and inhuman idea of money equating success, they already succeeded hard at 2-3 million dollars. Having a billion dollars is like winning a sports game 1000-1 and still being sad that you didn’t win by enough. These people could’ve easily retired at 5 million but they didn’t want that. They need more and more and more. They happily spend millions of dollars on buying politicians so they can get away with paying sub-living wages to their slaves and so they can pay very little in taxes. They display deeply uncharitable behaviors at best and deeply disturbing tendencies often (creating an island used for raping children).

    I really wonder how you could possibly dismiss or ignore all of this. Explain yourself. And you owe it to the community if you’re going to come on here defending the class of people who have consistently ruined human lives throughout history. A billionaire is just a king who drinks from a golden chalice while their tax payers die in the streets. You are saying fuck those dead idiots, the king is great. What the fuck is that? Why would you do it? What could you possibly get out of this?

        People become billionaires because they own capital which extracts massive amounts of value from production processes by paying workers less than the value their labour produces.

        Lol that’s your response? Pretty safe to say you’re a Nazi after that. Thanks for letting me know!!

        You just not only said “life is fair” but that you don’t provide much value to society.
