I got into it with someone I worked with [who made exactly as much as me.] Asked what would someone buy with $5 billion that they couldn't get with $1 billion. He couldn't come up with something, but was still going to defend someone else's right to have it.
Twitter in about 6 more months?
A small country
At the expense of giving 100,000 people a $1000,000 raise, which would massively stimulate the economy.
And those 100,000 people being the country's industrial elite, the raise being tax breaks for those people, and the country being USA.
You could run on a over the counter GOP ticket.
The only issue I can think of is that when people reach that billion, they'll just close up shop cause why continue if your revenue is limited to your spending habits. I'd want the answer to that question to be "out of the goodness of my heart" or "to help people" but I sadly don't think a lot of them would do so
When you can't have an engaging conversation about anything related to the wealthy because everyone has Stockholm Syndrome.
Maybe if they simp hard enough the billionaire will see their hidden worth and befriend them.
"Why are you poor? You clearly belong with us rich folk. Hop on, there's always room for one more, innit!"
They're all just as entitled as this character was too.
At least Joffrey was actually rich though.
They did depend on a big bank, didn't they? And they also used debt as a currency
Isn't that how modern economy works?
“We have this fantasy that our interests and the interests of the super rich are the same. Like somehow the rich will eventually get SO full that they'll explode. And the candy will rain down on the rest of us. Like they're some kind of pinata of benevolence. But here's the thing about a pinata: it doesn't open on its own. You have to beat it with a Stick.”
