   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.

     It’s kind of amazing to me that even here, on Mastodon, there are people who feel the need to argue that a billionaire can be a good person. Do you have any idea what can be done with a billion dollars? For one thing, you could fix the water problems in Flint, Michigan, with a snap of your billionaire fingers. Hell, you could make sure every single inhabited area of the Earth has clean water. Instead you hoard and live in your palace. Snap out of it, folks. Billionaires are sociopaths.
