@stux How about Lorene Powell-Jobs, Steve Jobs' widow? She bought The Atlantic and is 100% fighting against the fascist regime in America, and I'm pretty sure she gives a ton of money away for causes that empower women.But in general, yes, I agree. They're all narcissistic pricks. They get so much money then seem to get scared of losing it or not being the richest person to ever exist, and tread on everyone else to stay on top. Absolute arseholes.

@ee @stux Even a millionaire should be heavily taxed so that they do not remain so. No-one deserves more money than they could ever sensibly dispose of in a lifetime.

What I mean is that I personally think billionaires are non good per definitionIf where to get a billion today I’ll sure I’ll spend most of it on charity and people who really need it so i won’t be a billionaire anymoreIt’s insane we need to beg billionaires for donations for cancer research while a government defunds those researchers and making a system possible for the ultra richFuck the 1% seriously

@stux Seriously. It's a mathematical reality that if we have a million we can sustain that level. A THOUSAND millions ?!?!? like, give away 999 million and you are still a millionaire.

@stux The problem is a certain percentage of humans are messed up in such a way that they still feel a greedy need to be the "most wealthy" rather than simply being satisfied with everything they could ever need or want. You are psychologically normal, but the ultra wealthy seem to be abnormal.

@stux Agreed.All of them are motherfuckers, and that includes the beloved pop star, the superstar athlete, the philanthropist, and the guru who cosplays as middle class. You don't earn a billion dollars. You steal it via ethically-repugnant but legal means, and they should not exist in the first place. That's especially true with all the social problems in the countries where they do exist.

@stuxFor their health and reputation we should tax away those billion. To unlock Centimillionaire status lootbox, I'm open to massive coast to coast rural America funding of beautiful architecture services and staff. Though they need to get started pre-legislation passed to receive the limited time & amount lootbox reward.

@stux I think in the process of becoming a billionaire you have to make a lot of choices that select for you being the kind of person that is uncharitable and selfish. Someone who isn't that way would get off the train long before that

@stux If they have more than they need, then they are hoarding. Even if they're super sweet and cool and totally a nice person, they still hoard resources at the expense of others. Therefore, there are no good billionaires.

@stux Naturally there is a counter example: the person who founded Patagonia. The company took off more or less by accident - they were making clothing for climbers and for some reason the general public liked it too. They apparently treat their employees very well and help fund environmental programs. As I recall, they put the billions in a trust to keep all this going. Entry-level employees get the same benefits as the CEO.
