we need a green plumber.
I just fucking hate them all so much.
Yeah, but wealth redistribution is communism and socialism and whatever…
Isn’t Jeff looking yummy today?
Get in my belly!
A question I have is once you are a billionaire, why do you need more money?
What is there left that you can’t buy?
It’s a dick measuring competition with their buddies at that point, at the expense of the rest of us.
Not necessarily true. More money at that level isn’t about more material possessions or even more services: it’s about more power and influence. It’s playing toward oligarchy.
I didn’t say anything about possessions and purchasing power, the competition in that echelon is about who has more ability to bend the world around them, thus the dick measuring comment.
Elon Musk bought a president
It’s an addiction, plain and simple. If the number isn’t going up, they’re not happy. They’re willing to do anything, hurt anyone, to get their fix.
It’s not about buying things, it’s about winning the game and staving off boredom and existential dread.
We need more people like Luigi to add excitement back into their lives!
The personality required to “earn” a billion dollars off the backs of your working employees is exactly why it will never be enough for them. Have enough money that all your grandchildren’s entire lives are paid for? Then it’s now about control. Who can you influence and how much of your shitty mentality can you project onto others?
People who want money for specific things and will eventually be satisfied stop long before reaching billionaire status.
We broke our economic system a while ago. Citizen United really help drive that home. The part I find so funny is the people I know complaining about taxes and never getting anything from the government.
Yet the very same individuals don’t make a peep about the ridiculous amounts of money our society funnels to the wealthiest. Some kid getting a school meal for free? No no we can’t have that. Billionaires able to buy social media companies and make them shittier? Why just go right ahead. Multiple private space companies? Perfectly fine. How about maybe some college for the people? No dice nerds that’d cost too much money!
Elon Musk is the biggest welfare queen of them all. He took in billions of government tax payer’s money…
