Ur delusional


First you call me a flat earther, now you are telling me I am delusional for implying its not what you know, but who you know?
Are you going to parrot the story about dropping some billionaire off in Africa with $5 and non contacts and them being a millionaire, instead of dead a year later?

The fact you truly believe someone is literally millions of times more valuable shows how stupid you are


That's really just how the math and economics works out with respect to risk, performance, and incentives. If you disagree you're mathematically illiterate

That's not to say that bad actors shouldn't be dealt with.

People who are exploiting workers & skimming money from a company should be publicly dealt with in such a manner that strikes such terror that no one else dare attempt it. This is why having a mixed economy with strong state oversight is essential

They're really not, in most cases they are no more talented than c level middle managers.


The untalented ones fail and are sacked, then their career is over since no other company will hire them

Middle managers are usually awful

That isn't what you said. You said in that specific post that I quoted that billionaires are simply on the level of middle managers. When we are discussing billionaires here, we aren't talking about second generations. We are talking about people who build companies and that builds their wealth. In what way do you think that a person who has achieved so much equates to a middle manager?

You are all ignorant. Billionaires become wealthy because they own 100% of the business, and eventually down the line, that business becomes public. The public decides the value of the business, and buys shares. Those shares sold go directly to the original owner of said shares, aka the prior 100% owner.

Ah, calling someone garbage, denoting them as being sub human.
Historically which group of people used this line of rhetoric against a particular scapegoat?
Starts with N, ends with I.


User lowkey wished death on people because they don't like someone.


The illogical chant to tax the wealthy.
Anti-capitalism propaganda.
The belief that hard work should not be rewarded
Often followed by a demand for universal income.

----
People on the left are incredible out of touch with the layers of reality.
The common theme with the posts I quoted is a lack of personal responsibility.


You might as well have said everyone you don't like is a commie and left it at that. Why bother engaging? Just stay in your echo chamber where guys like trump and Elon represent the ideal examples of what it means to live a virtuous life.

We can dismiss what you are saying because so many of them get their wealth through a combination of VC Funding scams, and regulatory capture.
It's about who they know as their network more than any talent in the vast majority of 'self made' billionaire cases.
