No billionaire earned his money but got it by exploiting others, especially if you make your money through investments. If you point that out it's always called envy and jealousy.

    I don't think you understand how much one billion is. to help you out: 1 million seconds is ~11 days. 1 billion seconds is ~31 years.

    >only the young and feeble minded live in absolute If you could save $100 a day it would take 27,397.26 years to reach $1 billion. No human is so productive to earn that in only decades or even years. Facts are absolutes, only an idiot would deny facts. >the covid shot that saved your life was supported by investments First: Pablo Escobar financed an hospital, doesn't mean he's a good person and drug dealing is a good thing Second: I bet they met a lot a money from the vaccine, somebody has to pay for these profits, means this somebody lacks the money elsewhere. Not all went the way of AstraZeneca and renounced profit but AstraZeneca only had a vaccine because the BMG foundation convinced Oxford to sell their vaccine instead of giving it away for free as initially planned. Third: Corona was an equalizer. Unlike climate change Corona also hit the rich and many of them are in the especially endangered age range and Corona hit them now and not in 10, 20, 30 years like climate change. So the invest was also to save their lives. Fourth: how many investments are done in things that harm humanity, for instance who is funding all those climate change denial think tanks. Billionaires mean to much power for single people with democratic control. Just look at the damage the Koch brothers did. Billionaires are financial dictators.
