There’s 300 oil billionaires in Saudi Arabia and ZERO in bordering Israel!!! C’mon, you are not trying to argue that every country/continent is completely identical in terms of economic development and access to resources, are you?
- dredmorbius 6y agoI'd think it's rather obvious that that's pretty much the antithesis of my argument.
- bluedevil2k 6y agoYour argument was that Africa and US should have the same billionaires per capita which is crazy, cause as I point out, a country/continent has or lacks certain natural resources that make extreme wealth possible.
- dredmorbius 6y agoI've apparently failed to communicate clearly. That is not at all my argument. The assertion to which I ras responding, and disputing, was your statement: "The people who are billionaires are billionaires because they are super competitive and super hard workers." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24395252 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24395252 You are now asserting a markedly different, and I would suggest inconsistent, position.
