    If you can’t put your yacht on a bigger yacht, how is life worth living?

  When we have nothing to lose, then we have no problem eating the billionaires.

  The thing is, the workers work for money, not for the employer.

  The employer is just a middleman that can easily be replaced.

      Indeed. Anyone earning more than 40k annual salary belongs to the richest 3% in the world. Get ready gringos, we third world countries are coming for you

  Spoken like someone who has never been an employee, much less experienced actual poverty.

    You talking about me? Because you’d be wrong on both counts. That’s part of why I despise greedy and power-hungry billionaires (but I repeat myself) like him…

    Or did you mean him?

      I meant him. Apologies if that came across the wrong way. I’ll edit my post for clarity.

  If billionaires ruined the economy in such a way that 50 percent of people couldn’t afford to feed their families then I like to think that people would simply eat the billionaires.

  But that’s wishful thinking and seeing how people interact in public and online makes me think that way too many people still think billionaires are awesome.

    What do you mean “if”? They’re well on the way already and it’s getting worse, not better.

    then I like to think that people would simply eat the billionaires.

    Problem with that is that owning everything also includes bodyguards and even de facto private armies.

    way too many people still think billionaires are awesome.

    Unfortunately you’re absolutely right.
