@wslack but Mastodon keeps telling me that everything that's wrong is because of the Billionaires?

@your_huckleberry @wslack No. Mastodon has never told you that... Some people *on* Mastondon may have told you that. Just remember that all generalisations are wrong, including this one!

@bytebro billionaires are bad people. I don't give a damn about any rationalization you use to not make a généralisation out of them but they are bad. They exploit other people's work, who they pay below a living wage. They speculate on food market prices. They privatize water sources. They have the collective power to get the ressources of the world more equally distributed but they don't. They are bad. @your_huckleberry @wslack

@switch I'm fine with Bill Gates being a billionaire. Microsoft average salary is $126k. I don't even work for Microsoft, but I earn a living wage, because many years ago I became a Microsoft Certified Professional. Nobody is stealing my labor. If I wanted to I could go out on my own, as a consultant. I don't want that, it's too much stress. For that matter, if I wanted to be a communist, I could. It's not illegal. There are lots of worker owned companies or communes I could join.
