- meanduck 10y agoThe GP is good comment lets not init a flame war here.
- debt 10y agobecause the top 8 billionaires own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the global population? the rich have really been sucking it up lately. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/business/2016/jan/18/richest-62-billionaires-wealthy-half-world-population-combined https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/business/20...

- laingc 10y agoGood grief. Any child with $2 in pocket money has more wealth than 2bn people. If you are a doctor with a massive student loan, you're probably in the bottom 10% of humanity in terms of wealth.
- hueving 10y agoYet killing these 8 billionaires and taking their wealth would do almost nothing when spread across the bottom 50% you are comparing them to. You don't raise civilization by chopping off the top.
