The sooner you learn this, the sooner we can start doing something about it.
Since a couple of you asked what’s the something we can start doing about billionaires, it’s simple:
Whatever you can to make them socially unacceptable. Make being a billionaire the equivalent of wearing fur.
Don’t feed them if you can help it (easier said than done). If you must feed them, make sure people know you’re not happy about it. If there are alternatives, fund, promote, and use them. But at the very least don’t praise and glorify them and stop giving them “the benefit of the doubt.”
zigguratmonk@aral Heck yeah. I insist on the framing that billionaires are bad people. Even the ones with great PR, fundamentally they aren't doing enough.
The biggest consolation social media gives me is when someone like Bezos is on twitter caught up in small drama though. Like, go buy an island dude. Consistent proof money doesn't buy personality or happiness.
