I agree entirely. The rich don't "make" any money. They siphon it from the poor.

    if I had a pile of gold, it would increase in value without taking from anyone. Generalized statements don't help your agenda when it's generalizing hatred towards others.

    I don't get it. If you have a pile of gold and there are no other people involved, how does its value change?

    the supply of gold is relatively unchanging (new mines are rarely built) but the demand increases

    OK. So more people are buying it and they are paying more. How can they afford to do this?

    I could say the same about the environmental impact of the poor buying small volume products with more packaging because they don't (probably "can't") save

    now i really don't get it. Your gold is increasing in value because poor people like packaging?

    i think you're maybe geoff bezos, except that i suspect a very small amount of his (your) assets are in gold.
