   @Rachel_Thorn If you aren't a bad billionaire, you'll be outcompeted by someone who is... Good billionaires don't last long if they ever manage to get that money to begin with!

     I sometimes hear people who are not even millionaires saying things like, “Just being a billionaire doesn’t make someone a bad person.” It absolutely makes them a bad person. One doesn’t just happen to accumulate a billion dollars because one has a great product or service. It happens because you exploit the fuck out of people and resources. You hoard profits for yourself rather than share them with the people who are actually making your products and providing your services.
