Oh yeah billionaires personally do all the innovation, make the iphones, software, cars, etc. Get the boot out of your throat.

I didn’t say they personally do all the minor things but billionaires are like the engine of a car. You don’t need the engine to be visible or liked, but it provides the power that moves everything forward. They provide massive amounts of capital for businesses, innovation, research, infrastructure, and risky ideas that might otherwise struggle to get funded Everything around you cost money and makes money. Starbucks and the iPhone you cherish so much wouldn’t exist if they didn’t make money

Things can’t exist without an economic system that funnels insanely disproportionate wealth to those at the top, trust

The wealth is not disproportionate. It’s based on the value you bring to the business. That’s how the world works. My dad isn’t a billionaire but he owns a successful business. He makes 5x what our highest-paid employee makes. Does he work harder? No. Does he bring more value to the business? Yes

I think the problem with a lot of you is that you’re stuck in a poverty mindset because you grew up poor. Now you hate billionaires because you’ve convinced yourself they’re the root cause of all your problems. That’s not the case, I promise you. One of the best things about America is that you have options. You can bitch and complain about the system, or you can grind, create value, and become really fucking rich. I’m choosing the ladder

How do you determine how much value someone brings to the business? I don’t suffer under the delusion that Elon Musk brings more value to his misnamed car company than any random worker he won’t allow to unionize does.

First Elon assumes all the risk. If any of his companies go out of business the employees can just switch companies. Elon is fucked. Additionally Elon’s value isn’t that he works harder physically than every employee. It’s that his decisions, capital, vision, and ability to organize thousands of people can affect the entire company. One employee produces one piece of the machine. Elon helps decide where the entire machine goes.

Won’t someone PLEASE think of the rich people, if their company goes under they might have to become a worker like the rest of us 😢 It seems to me like you’re saying that the “value” Elon brings to a company is “having money and telling people what to do”. Way to make my point for me.

Nah not projection. I grew up in a business-oriented family so I can appreciate the value executives bring and understand why they are compensated more. In this life you can be Iqbal or Haji. It’s your choice

You absolutely did project. “You’re stuck in a poverty mindset because you grew up poor” “you hate billionaires because you’ve convinced yourself they’re the root cause of all your problems” that is projection.

I didn’t grow up poor and I don’t hate billionaires. Especially strictly because they’re billionaires. If I hate someone it would be because of the content of their character. So again, How did I project when none of that is applicable to me

It doesn’t have to be applicable to you to be projection. You’re still projecting the mental image you have in your head onto me.
