Woah, great gotcha! Did you really come to Hacker News to denegarte people you thought didn’t have a basic understanding of Economics? Right now I have a problem with both. Maybe deregulating the SEC helps poor people? I don’t hear anyone making that argument right now though.
- justanotheratom 2y agoSincerely, I think there is too much emphasis on "rich people bad", the assumption being it is a zero-sum game. Instead, we should simply focus on making this more and more true: "provide value to the world -> get rich."
- techpineapple 2y agoI’m ok with that general idea. I’d like to see a lot more people worth 10-100 million, and less people worth 10-100billion, and I think there’s too much wealth being generated from financial games, and not enough from creating valuable goods and services, thus my particular concern about Musk going into the SEC.
