If only the billionaire were simply hoarded their wealth, things would not be nearly as bad as they actually are. They have access to rates of return unavailable to the rest of us. Their wealth grows more than 5% more like 7 to 10% per year, no matter what they do. The mountains of wealth accumulating unearned interest that already exist are enough to condemn the rest of us to penury because they will simply own everything, and not in the distant future. They must be dispossessed, while State power is still sufficient to the task.
I grew up a computer nerd, and Gates is a couple of years older than me. I was a huge fan until his shitty behaviour came out, it bottomed out with Epstein.
I had a run-in with Deepak Chopra at a conference, and he was a piece of shit. I heard his name mentioned in the files and thought: "That checks out."
I was not the only person who met him at this particular conference. He spawned a game that weekend that a bunch of us played called "Hero or Dick?" Chopra earned dick-status.
This is so depressing. No one needs a billion dollars. That much money clearly screws up your brain. Or is this like some version of the Portrait of Dorian Gray? "Just come with me to pedophile island and I'll make you rich beyond your wildest dreams."??
Think about it. How is it that all sorts of insanely wealthy guys just happen to be pedophiles? Or is the reality that most men are pedophiles, but only the insanely wealthy have the means to make all their pedo dreams come true?
Every time I see a local news report of some scumbag arrested for having child porn on his computer, it reminds me of how things really are different when you have lots of money.
While Oprah might not be a bloodsucker on the scale of some of those named, she did bring us Dr. Phil and played a large part in popularizing Dr. Oz.
Too true 😅 not to mention Deepak!

BRB, needlepointing this entire comment onto a throw pillow
Blush. But please use the edited version.
The only one I can vaguely defend is Warren Buffet, and that's because he has given over 50 billion away.
Least Worst Billionaires, a ranking 😝

A tough one for computer nerds indeed 🥲 … I am still not over Noam
Chomsky had less of an impact on me, I only read Manufacturing Consent, and that was 30? years ago.

Ahah too real!! I heard him speak once, and the whole time I kept thinking, “Where the hell is the light?”
Amen. Why don’t people see this?
Perhaps too much of the tapestry would unravel 🧶
I used to think conspiracy theories about an ultra wealthy evil cabal were crazy. Now it’s just a recognition of modern history.
The number of wealthy high power people that socialized with Epstein is very scary
The fact that it took years of innocent young girls abused before it all was exposed is horrendous

Right?!! I keep wondering this too, is it more common than we think, or are rich men specifically fucked up?😵💫
