It’s interesting as a thought experiment because there’s no real world example of this. Which I guess is the gotcha OP was going for, but kinda fumbled.
Arguably hoarding the wealth for yourself (and even your immediate family), never mind how you accumulated it, is still not “good”. It’s indirectly oppressive to collect a bunch of money, while many suffer, and say “noone else is touching this, it’s mine”.
Very true.
I was just trying to draw attention to some of the comments that are defending them. You’d think from some in here that a little smidge of philanthropy in retirement makes it all okay that one person can hoarde enough personal wealth to feed millions.
Reread my comment. I’m commenting on the content of the comments.
In these comments: People who think someone can accumulate obscene personal wealth and then give a small percentage away makes them good. But if someone dares suggest taxing that obscene wealth they are a monster.
I Googled “what’s funny” and it showed me a Mr. Beast video, so now I don’t trust you.
In a sense, voluntarily choosing to not be a billionaire is the goodest thing a billionaire could do.
If they do it right before they die though, that makes it pretty dubious.
I think his actions as a billionaire are more telling.
Minecraft is just a knock off of Infiniminer anyway and Zachtronics are much more deserving of the billions. Love all their games. What else has Notch done?
Your legs would glitch around the whole circumference of the Earth.
You must have some well curated Facebook. Mine has been mingling extreme left acquaintances with extreme right old country ass family members for over a decade.
You just reminded me that Gaufres de Liege exist and I’m sad I’m not anywhere near a place that I could get one.
As an Englishman, I can’t think of anyone else that does pronounce the G unless they speak like Brian Blessed.
That’s a surprising stance coming from SatansMaggotyCumFart
It’s not illegal everywhere. I think their point is that legal and licensed brothels are less likely to be exploitative and involved in human trafficking.
Sure, not all sex work where it is illegal is exploitative, but I’m not sure most clients would shop around for the ethical choice like you have.
Yes. Well, some saying we shouldn’t tax billionaires more and others saying that the money is better off with one private individual setting up companies and charities, rather than leaving that to governmental entities.
To me, someone paying only ~25% tax when earning millions per year is obscene.
