Don't punish people for trying. No one should have the wealth he does. We sneer that people look up to him for spending a small part of his wealth to benefit

Don't punish people for trying.
No one should have the wealth he does. We sneer that people look up to him for spending a small part of his wealth to benefit others when he should not have enough money to fund $500 million science projects.

- sympil 2y agoI’d like people to sneer and get angry over the fact that he does have the money. In Les Miserables when the rich man gave the begger a penny the bishop says, “Look at monsieur buying a penny’s worth of paradise.”
- nineplay 2y agoThere's no shortage of people sneering and getting angry and billionaires and their money.
- sympil 2y agoEvidently I disagree. Apparently not enough people are angry enough. We elected a man who accepted $30 billion in brides the day before his inauguration and his supporters don’t care.
- bpodgursky 2y agoIf you want to make an argument against billionaires, you should start by being numerate. A billion and a million (the actual number for inauguration donations) are very different numbers, and if you mix the two up accidentally, it mean your world model is horrifically broken. One is plausible, one is absurd in this context.
- sympil 2y agoHe got $30 billion in bribes from his crypto coin pump and dump. Instead of making assumptions inquire.
