    Sounds like a solid plan! I would be surprised if the public opinion here would be any different. There are no billionaires on Lemmy.

      Not now, no, but I need to make sure they have a favorable tax regime for when my scratch-offs inevitably raise me to my appropriate station.

        Pro tip: Have other people do the scratching.

        The only way to become a billionaire is to exploit the labor of others.

      No, but there are still plenty of billionaire meat-riders here.
