Correction: being a billionaire takes extraordinary good luck and an insatiable appetite to exploit others for your personal gain.
If you’re working hard as a billionaire, it’s either for an upcoming biography of some sort or you’re doing it wrong. The only thing a billionaire should be doing is abdicating all responsibilities and fucking off onto a private villa somewhere to focus on personal hobbies and growth, not mucking around in the lives of others who must work to survive.
> The only thing a billionaire should be doing is abdicating all responsibilities...
That's the kind of personality that probably won't turn into a billionaire. It takes a ludicrous amount of motivation to continue working after being worth 100M and anyone who does, won't stop at 1B
That’s why I made that statement. Society should have barriers in place to disincentivize the hoarding of Capital/Wealth to the degree it harms others. Even if the cumulative amount of wealth is a comparative drop in the global bucket, the systems and pumps that enable it are difficult to turn off once started.
It’s why I take the “winner” approach: once you’ve got a billion dollars, the government has a vested interest in forcing you from positions of ownership and leadership because you’re no longer remotely in touch with the needs of the masses, and have sufficiently demonstrated a willingness to harm others indiscriminately for personal gain. Best to label them as a “winner”, force them into retirement, and bar them from governance (corporate and government alike) wholesale for life.
You won Capitalism. Kindly fuck off into the sunset while the actual workers continue to do actual work.
