I’m not including the government in this because they actually do intentionally cause suffering and just so happen to be rich by stealing all your tax payer dollars.
Both parties do this. (I had to give that disclaimer, now to my opinion)
I saw a post that said “eat the rich”, I still think it’s kind of funny, but only because how stupid it is. Like how is fighting the rich (regular people with money) going to fix your problem (regular people without money)? It won’t.
I’m not sure if it’s just a trend online or because people are angrier due to more stress from bills, yada yada. (Feel free to school me on this part)
I do know that if you picked 1000 rich people and weighed their usefulness and positive impact on society it would outweigh 100,000 nonrich people.
For instance rich people make businesses that hire people, those people can work. Good (if that’s what you care about)
Rich people get inventions produced and do research and development. Now you’re using technology some rich person created. They may not have even been rich before they created it. Getting wealth may have been a side effect of their success. Do you still “eat the rich”?
It’s foolish and clearly bitterness. I know you have evil demons like Gates running around who happens to be rich AND villainous. However I’ve seen many evil and unwealthy people. Basically I think you all need to look at things with a clearer lense and stop hating and try to build wealth or at least freedom from needing wealth.
So, Elon Musk made in just this year more money than you, and your father, and his father and his father, on and on back to the invention of currency have made in their entire lives combined.
So please do tell me, is Elon Musk more valuable than you and all your ancestors combined?
Has he worked harder than all your grandfathers combined?
Me, personally, I would be unbelievably embarrassed to admit that I think a junkie South African nepo baby is 100,000 times the man my granddad was.
More useful doesn’t mean better as an overall human. In a sense of innovation for electric vehicles and Deployment of satellites into space. He is more useful than me. And I don’t even like Elon. We are not all equal. People with poor mindsets (poor as in low quality) fail to see this reality with clarity.
He isn’t though, he doesn’t do that stuff. Hundreds of talented engineers do.
He’s a gatekeeper to their talents, through his immense wealth he keeps their work to himself to enrich himself further instead of be lnefitting society.
Elon Musk doesn’t build cars or satelites
Yeah thanks didn’t know he doesn’t handcraft cars or satellites. But you do nothing at all in the field not even fund it. Once again I don’t like Musk, he knows little about Nikola Tesla who he named his cars after and I have the same issue with people calling him a genius when he’s just a venture capitalist.
If you understand he’s just a venture capitalist then why are you arguing with me?
I could fund electric cars and space Wi-Fi too if I inherited an emerald mine from my dad
