Everytime I see this I think we should have prestige mode like call of duty.

After 100 million you’re net worth resets back to zero and you have to start from scratch again. BUT you get a cool little badge by you’re name.

If a rich person doesn’t want to get prestiged they better start donating money faster than they make it and get that number back to 99 million.

There is no limit to how many prestige’s a person can get.

We must absolutely do this. Only we should set the threshold much lower.

Yeah so then they have 100 friends and family, with 999 million each.

These sorts of proposals are just laughable to anyone with common sense. It’s like putting a 1 foot tall fence around your lawn and thinking it’ll stop people from walking on your grass.

You had me until dog park, maybe a bench instead?

Except they usually didn't win. It's always a combination of poor morals, tax evasion and labor thefts. Then add a sprinkle of corruption. Imagine doing that to win a game? Obviously no one wants to play with you.

I think that's basically it.

I liken the behaviour to tech enthusiasts, you know the extreme overclocking community. The 3dmark benchmarks? They want to see how high the number can go, it becomes an addiction. I haven't owned a computer since 2019 do people still do that?

For any normal human anything over 10 million/year becomes redundant, but you get attached to numbers and just wanna see for curiousitys sake how your personal high score can get. If a billionaire went from 100 billion to 10 million his lifestyle wouldn't change, and at that level it probably isn't the number that matters but the missing comma. The comma becomes the fix and so they're chasing the fuggin dragon.

Same sickness as a hoarder who sees value in mundane objects like pop cans but isn't viewed under that lens because money is ultimately a noble pursuit, we just need to identify when money hoarding becomes a mental illness and write some law about it as a society in general.

The US economy caters to the top 10% everything else is slop. We are not even on the spread sheet. In general crapitalism has proven to be a exponental function that can only work in a metphorical vaccum of nonsense. It breaks the bounds and limitations of the natural world. It will be the reason why human beings were a thing of the past. It is unatural and unholy. It brings out the worst in us and should be cast into the fire. It will end or unfortunatly reset. Either way the world is looking pretty shabby.

This, but the cap is 1 million.

Financial obesity is neurotoxic, an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
