Everyone nowadays seems to love charismatic selfish people that do not have time for empathy.
Noone wants to be the "loser" that contributes to society, but rather the jerk that takes everything from others.
We glorify parasitic people like Bezos and the Waltons that can exist only because they have the majority of their workforce on welfare benefits.
