How much are you willing to accept to face personal responsibility for the actions of “your” company? How much should Widgets, Inc. pay you to face the death penalty if “your” company is found guilty of homicide for skirting product safety laws?

You sure about BMW and Mercedes? 😂

Why, are you worried you might cross this invisible threshold any day now?

The distinguished between a minor billionaire and a major billionaire is inconsequential, it’s a point where your money’s making money that’s making money, it’s beyond never having to worry about living expenses and into the realm of “I no longer have any concept of how regular people live.”

And you have not responded to my point that unless someone -pays- you a billion dollars, you have not -earned- a billion dollars.

r/conspiracy has antisemitic posts pretty much daily. When that sub gets cleaned up I’ll believe they’re serious.

Actually, that was publicized years ago. It’s the ‘buy, borrow, die’ tactic. Even the goddamn Wall Street Journal wrote an article about it.

Whatever someone is willing to pay.

He exploited the system fair and square. Those dollars didn’t steal themselves.

Billionaire’s don’t earn their fortune, someone else does it for them.

To answer your second paragraph - they know it’s not okay, and that’s the point. People who do that sort of thing do it because they know it’s unacceptable, they know that it’s upsetting, and they know that it’s awful... and they believe that they will not suffer consequences for it. It’s a demonstration of power…

“...but I earned it.”

Yes, I have billions of dollars, but I earned it. No one gave it to me.

One of the owners (Ian) was listening to Ben Shapiro in an episode, so you’re probably not far off the mark.

All this stuff is really bad but I’m just coming away with the thought: “This is just modern American Conservative behavior.”
