    Sigh, you don’t have to be a terrible person just because you get rich…

        Or just be married to one. Mackenzie Scott (Jeff Bezos ex) seems a pretty decent person for a billionaire

      You have it backwards. You don’t become that rich without being a terrible person.

        There’s no way.

        What about Elon Mus— never mind.
        Steve Jobs? Notorious asshole, shit.
        Walt Dis—no. Antisemite, fuck.
        Thomas Eddison? His patent sweatshop begs to differ.
        Bill Ga— wait, no. He was in the files.
        SBF? Fuck.

        Ummm uhhh…

          I mean even before we knew that, he participated in tons of anti-competitive behaviour to solidify his richness.

          The very act of having as much wealth as these people have is, in my opinion, an immoral act in the world we live in.
