- 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.
