You fucking zealots are even more annoying than Swifties. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 child) There are plenty of companies run by single (or even double!)-digit millionaires that are enriched by their wealth without effectively stealing the labor of most of their employees 🤷♂️ but, by all means, feel free to just give up and keep licking that boot. Why do you think we need billionaires? What do they accomplish for the good of the country or the people in it that couldn't be accomplished at half or 1/10 or 1/1000th the cost? How does Bezos putting 99% of his competitors out of business, reducing competition through market capture, help you? How does Zuck or Pichai selling your browsing habits, which you see no proceeds from, improve your life? What do these billions sitting in oligarchs' bank accounts do for you that they wouldn't be able to as public funds, fixing your roads or building new rails? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment load more comments (1 reply)
