It's hard to think of rich people who are doing more harm than good. Sure, you could argue that for Zuckerberg, Dorsey, and the Sackler family if you want to. But they are a tiny fraction of all rich people.
"Silently rape" is a pretty harsh thing to say.
Would you prefer we had no rich people? There are places like that.
- DangitBobby 6y agoReally? You have a hard time thinking of rich people doing more harm than good? Do you recall the decades where the truth about tobacco was actively suppressed? How fossil fuel companies are doing the same thing right now about Global Warming? Or the dismantling of regulatory agencies like the EPA by the Trump admin? Or the various billionaires that fund "think tanks" to conduct "research" favorable to their economic positions? Or people like Rupert Murdoch using their billions to spread divisive propaganda at a loss over their media empire?
- hallway_monitor 6y agoIt seems less productive to focus on "rich people" and instead focus on "large corporations", because all of these actions are done in the name of the corporation. An adjustment to corporate law to put the responsibility for actions of corporations on to C-level execs could have positive effects for example.
- DangitBobby 6y agoIt is done in the name of corporations by rich people to protect the wealth of rich people. Not really sure why we are trying to speak in euphemisms.
