    Genuinely of the belief half the reason people permit billionares is mathematical iliteracy.

    If you aren’t filled with murderous rage at the idea of that much wealth being held back from those who need it you either don’t understand the scale or don’t have empathy.

      Billionaires don’t hold their assets in cash, those billions are generally some businesses that create goods and jobs. People need both.

            You should post your opinions about how anarchy is when no veggies and no bedtime. How life used to be nasty brutish and short, and how without men with guns everywhere it would be all against all.

            We could really stand to learn from more people who’s expertise is:

            • reads 5 different news outlets sometimes
            • went to highschool in the the anglosphere.

        Yeah, my best friend got his start doing lines of gunpowder-and-cocaine guarding a mine and making sure the workers didn’t escape, and yeah it didn’t ‘pay’ but after fifyeen years, at just the age of twenty three, he was leading his own machete weilding militia, carving apart undesirables and leaving morale-inspiring displays.

        Some people just hate the profoubd opportunity for marginalized populations that job creators provide.
