   Billionaires are the fucking worst. (You can quote me on that.)

     @cadence022 Always. If you accept being (and remaining) a billionaire in a world where people cannot make ends meet – not to mention a world where people are literally going hungry – there is something fundamentally wrong with you and there’s nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.

     @aral not always, but definitely a majority are. usually selfish, uncaring rich pigs. again, not always, but most of the time.

     @yannickdoteu There is a difference (orders of magnitude matter). But, equally, inequality is inequality.

     @aral Is there a difference for you between billionaires and millionaires?

     Agreed. But how much is too much? I bought a toy I don't need. I could have spent that money on food for a hungry person. Should I have?

     @stevensrmiller @cadence022 A fucking billion dollars is too much. I really don’t think that needs explaining.

     @cadence022 @stevensrmiller At that point it’s not about money any longer, it’s about power.

     @aral @stevensrmiller also that. a billion is too much for one person. what would you even do with a billion dollars strictly for yourself? like, I could see maybe using a few hundred grand of that to pay debts, but beyond that, there are people who don't eat for days because all th e money is in the hands of the rich and selfish.
