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.”
Jean-Étienne@aral I find the hardest part to be the tough conversations with people whose bubble im bursting or even going against someone they look up too. Had a few awkward conversations with relatives or at a wedding. I don’t want to be the one ruining the mood but I also don’t want to just smile when a dude says that Space Karen could be “the modern equivalent to Jesus”… I think I t requires good conversation skills and good knowledge of the topic to bring the right words at the right time?
