> putting money in the hands of the ultra wealthy
that’s a very sinister way to describe the reward for their extraordinary efforts. who’s putting money in their hands? where did this ‘who’ get the money from?
- slater 1y agowhat are these 'extraordinary efforts'?
- yawboakye 1y agoif the wealth isn’t inherited then it obviously requires extraordinary effort to amass. i’m not a billionaire and it’s not from a lack of trying to be. the fact that my efforts over the years—which are non-trivial btw—haven’t made me one is a clear signal. starting and running a successful business is extraordinary effort. my life is better thanks to founders of all the companies whose good and services i depend on. i’m full of gratitude for their extraordinary efforts because they’ve made life worth living.
- silverquiet 1y ago> who’s putting money in their hands If we're talking about foreign oligarchs living in London, I suspect a fair amount of the money is coming from Russian organized crime.
