      What really irks me are people that think there’s such a thing as a “good” billionaire. Had an argument one time because I said all billionaires are inherently shitty, and my colleague was trying to convince me that Bill Gates is actually a good person.

      Get real son, the path to billionaire is paved with blood.

        Bill Gates the Microsoft guy? The one that just demolished competition? The same company that ran afoul of US antitrust law? Bill Gates the guy that had a non zero number of African nations ask him to stop helping, that guy?

    This is such a dumb stat. Y’all just want to blame consumption on someone other than yourself.

      The stat clearly shows billionaires are doing far more consumption. Seems more like you want to blame consumption on someone other than the worst offenders.

        🤷‍♂️ I’m not going to try and pump up numbers that are consumption of consumers. It’s dumb 🤷‍♂️
