@redsad what about the CEO of KickRepublicansIntoVolcanoes, Inc?

@redsad I’ve worked with a lot of rich people. This is 100% true. And they’ll deny it and say things like:

“I built this business from scratch!”
Yeah … after your dad gave you a $2 million no-interest loan and greased the wheels with the local government.

@redsad Also merciless exploitation of the environment, people from the Global South and indigenous people everywhere, etc.

@redsad It is possible for the extremely lucky but it is rare

@redsad second one should be a nearly circular venn diagram

@redsad Not getting tired to post this AOC quote:
"No one ever makes a billion dollars.
You take a billion dollars,..."
"...You sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern-day slave wages,..."

@redsad there should be a slice in there for "being given free shit" too. between interest, inducements and straight out bribes, it's amazing how much being in no danger of running out of money translates into never having to buy your own. (hence all the ire about Anna Sorokin - it's less that she parted rich folk from their money, and more that they'd never have given her a penny if they thought she actually needed it)

@redsad

corruption (mafia) is missing

@redsad even winning it on Power Ball ?

@redsad I mean, just the fact that s.o. might "own" a billion $ is in itself obnoxious.

This is enough to have a family of 100 people living 60 years and still not looking at their expenses cause they have plenty.

It should be illegal, just like it is illegal to own and store 1000 lb of dynamite or 10 tigers in your garden : it just makes no sens and it is harmful to others.

@redsad * not to mention exploitation of our habitat
