      What? No. I’m so glad billionaires are a thing. They’re doing all of that polluting on my behalf!

      I mean there’s only 24 hours in a day…

        And they are collectively shortening our lifetimes too so we pollute less so they can keep their jetliners running during a lunch break in France!

      What really irks me are people that think there’s such a thing as a “good” billionaire. Had an argument one time because I said all billionaires are inherently shitty, and my colleague was trying to convince me that Bill Gates is actually a good person.

      Get real son, the path to billionaire is paved with blood.

        Bill Gates the Microsoft guy? The one that just demolished competition? The same company that ran afoul of US antitrust law? Bill Gates the guy that had a non zero number of African nations ask him to stop helping, that guy?
