If someone can accumulate that much wealth in a lifetime it means way too much was extracted from each individual. Then they distribute it back to mend the dam

If someone can accumulate that much wealth in a lifetime it means way too much was extracted from each individual.
Then they distribute it back to mend the damage as they see fit, not as society deems needed.
I'm not against millionaires but the exponential level up to billionaires probably shouldn't exist because it means the balance in the system is beyond broken.
No-one has contributed billions of value to society.

- ck2 4y agoI don't think you understand how massive a billion is compared to a million. No-one has contributed billions of value to society. Most scientists who have cured diseases are not billionaires. But for example the founder of instacart is a billionare. That should not be possible. It means the system is beyond broken and it's being exploited.
- pmoriarty 4y agoThat someone can make billions of dollars by creating a website while teachers and other workers who actually help people often risk their lives for shitty pay is sheer insanity.
