Billionaires don’t have billions in their bank accounts. That’s not how wealth works.

This is a strawman argument used by dishonest business types who think everybody else is dumb about how wealth works. Nobody is saying billionaires have billions in their bank accounts.

The vast majority of it is tied to property and businesses

Right you are on the same page as the rest of the people arguing against the existence of billionaires.

The number of properties held by a person should be limited to one. Ideally having a clause saying that it has to be on rent for a regulated price. And individuals cannot own a majority of business unless it’s a one man job. I would like the world to head towards worker owned cooperatives instead of 0.01% hoarding 90% of the wealth.

Thinking that just because one could comfortably retire that they should is kind of like telling a runner to stop running after having completed their first marathon. They’re a runner - runners run.

So the entire neo-liberal thesis is that we should reward psychopaths. That’s kind of a non-starter for sustainable living.

A person who became a billionaire views making money the same way. It’s what they do. It’s what they’re good at and derive meaning from.

I can’t begin to tell you the enormous amount of problems with this statement with regards to somebody’s mental health. You can’t be a billionaire without causing suffering to other people. Without leaving somebody else with the short end of the stick. Kindness is alien to people who think this is okay and should be encouraged. This level of worship of money is quite deviant because civilization evolved and thrives on cooperation, not on some misconstrued notion that a single person can derive so much “value” such that they can demand 99% or more of wealth.>

it’s certainly not 100% fake either.

I read “sexiest stereotypes” and got confused as to why you would want to stop them.

edit: OP seems to have a problem with my comment

ok i stepped onto that one myself.

the occasional consumption of anime with subs helps me pick up words here and there. But I can tell its tough to learn

no i learnt french in freshman year college… 15 years ago

is the rest of my translation correct?

I know i sound like a doomer but…

maybe the bubble is about to burst and this is just panic diversification of assets? it sure is funny to attribute it to that.

ah so you have discovered in your comment how french functions.

what’s Desole?

No they think giving free houses to someone makes it unfair to them as they think they are the only ones with suffering in life and the “poors” deserve poverty as they don’t work as hard as them.

I often wonder how miserable it must be to bear such ignorance, malice and unkind, distrustful thoughts in someone’s mind.

problem is, you need the underdog to actually fail at least once

now imagine this same scenario where you have a choice between driving your truck vs. public transit or bicycle infrastructure. Sure you may not use it but others may no longer be required to own a car and drive it for such short distances in the first place.

the net difference of owning a car vs not needing one and hence not owning it goes beyond just monetary gains.

The argument is not one based on changing behavior at an individual level. Its about policy and urban design.

how much do you spend on fuel commuting to the city? that 1M in the city is buying you a lot more than the 600 sq ft.

from your 420k suburban home, what’s the average distances to your: doctor, groceries, place of worship or study or work?

Do you own a car? Whats the median distance of commutes in a typical year for you?

We also shouldn’t forget time cost of your commutes. Median time spent commuting in a year you could have spent doing other things.

Sure i agree with you that suburb is better if you have public transit connecting you to the city from your home in the suburbs and you use it regularly.

As a person who CAN imagine and hear my mind speak… I can’t imagine that.

the liberals need to understand that too and stop being fascists.

“not forced to use them”

This ignores obnoxious hurdles in place to make the free tier as shitty as possible so people buy.

“cover your own ass for mistakes” Well can you personally guarantee that these asshats won’t create traps and gotcha’s along the way?

As a Software Engineer my list is only slightly longer and has these additional companies:

Oracle

Microsoft

Google

I don’t think you understand that not all creatures are tortured.
