    Having robbed the world for decades, and having personally solidified a rapacious system, these people are responsible for a lot of past and future misery, ranging from missed opportunities to death and disease.

      I’m not sure if being a billionaire necessarily means all of those things. I know some that are actually doing good stuff for the people, like Mark Cuban. Is he perfect? Probably not, but he’s doing something about a real issue that was screwing a lot of people in the US.

        No one becomes a billionaire working.

        You become a billionaire by exploiting the worker class.

          I don’t know. I don’t know how all billionaires in the world have acquired their capital. I do know that the most relevant ones, like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have exploited workers, but I don’t know if this can be generalized. Do you?

            All of them have acquired their capital in the exact same way, by exploiting in the worker class. It’s impossible to gather 1 billion dollars any other way.
