๐๐๐๐๐Nothing good about it
๐๐ถ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฎThat feeling when you were randomly born wealthy and get the daily slander dose on Lemmy.
Flying SquidJust because you were born wealthy doesnโt mean you have to live like it or keep the money to yourself.
Yep but here everyone seems to connect the two and equalize together
Iโve never seen anyone here pass judgment upon someone whose parents are rich.
They say โeat the richโ โtarget practiceโ and such
Are you really so naive that you think that applies to people who happen to have rich parents?
Because they arenโt talking about you, theyโre talking about your parents. If you become your parents, theyโre talking about you.
What do you think happens with wealth? It stays. If my parents are rich then I am rich what are you even trying to say?
What happens with wealth? Ideally, it gets spent and/or given away rather than hoarded.
If you are hoarding wealth, as most rich people are, then yes, you are the one being discussed.
No one is forcing you to keep those millions.
No one except the very system that makes poor people miserable? Oh you noble grand standing naive person.
Iโm not all surprised that you think anyone who doesnโt have millions of dollars is poor.
And yes, wealth can be used for many good things. See above, re giving it away rather than hoarding it.
ZootGenerally speaking the threshold for when money becomes evil, is when youโre actively defending, hoarding, and even lashing out at poor people for dare saying you could be using the money better.
If you truly have millions then you could just as easily donate to food shelters, help lobby for laws that donโt ban homelessness, you could even use that money to defend the people who are being squashed by the wealthy.
There are millions of things to do with your millions of dollars, that also wonโt leave you broke. Its sad to think you equate helping/donating = becoming poor.
