    They’re the rich lonely fat kid in elementary that would always invite you over to play with their fancy toys and latest model game system and give you the broken controller just so that they would always win to compensate for the fact that their parents were in the middle of divorce proceedings over who would end up stuck with the kid.

    I don’t think you can be a billionaire without being a predatory rapist monster.

    The money is another way that they can control and punish those around them. Any decent person would have given hundreds of millions of dollars away before reaching billionaire status.

    The insane thing is that they could all live like kings and keep 100 million dollars each and the world would improve by magnitudes.

    I honestly dont get it.

    After like 200 million. What else could you even want or buy ?

    Like 200 million would make you and your entire family want for nothing for a lifetime.

    Why do they need more than that?

    It’s not like you can take it with you when you die.

      Sane people would just enjoy their lives, it’s always the sick fucks who become billionaires. Any and all billionaires are evil monsters and need to be put down. No exceptions.

      Wealth is wasted on the rich, tbqh. They never even spend what they do have on anything worthwhile.

        Hookers and yachts. Maybe some plastic surgery and drugs.

        That’s like most of what they do with it.

        Power to get more money, to buy more hookers and yachts?

        Like do they even stop and think about what their end goal even is. ?

        I guess it does let them get away with raping and murdering children and women.

      With 200 million they can get a medal “I won at capitalism” but any further dollar should be harshly punished so they have an incentive to get rid of it.

    So often people forget they are also a precious resource.

    For the great many non renewables they consume, we ought to try converting them to energy some which way. Might be my math is wrong, but we may be able to power a continent by burning just one. Don’t bother double checking, let’s just give it a go shall we. If it doesn’t work, I vote we try, try again.
