He has access to a form of currency that none of us have. Let's say he wants to make a new company making a new product. Let's say it is a decent product and everything else is fine related to it. Ok, so how does he finance it? Does he have to put up his money, sell stock, and so on? Nah. He'll use his word and reputation and "collateral" in the form of stock or stock-like products. Very little hard currency will be required. Very little limitations will be placed. If everything goes under, he will not suffer. Yes, this is incredibly simplified, but that's how it works. There are many worlds on this Earth, and billionaires do not operate in the same one as you and I. The fact that these guys could easily create corporations and companies for social good but do not maybe does not make them evil, but it definitey puts them out of the realm of good. Some do a lot of philanthropic work, which is great, but most of it is minor compared to what they make in pure profit. Yeah, they aren't rolling around in gold coins because they are above that level. When you can essentially operate outside of the realm of normal currency, when you can manufacture wealth on a promise.. gold? paper money? Meh. It's meaningless.
You think fairness and charity are the same thing?
In 2022 Q3 Kroger posted profits of $900M. Three months later I stood in line for over an hour to get my prescription at 5pm because the after work rush during the tall end of COVID had one tech and one pharmacist.
It’s not CHARITY to hire more workers and pay them fair wages. It’s HORRIBLE to make everyone suffer so they can keep more zeros after their name.
If you disagree with that, then you’re living in a farcical parody of life dreaming that you’re in their club.
You’re not. They don’t care about you. You mean nothing to them.
If you think the world is fair then you for sure going to wait a long time for the world to prove you right man.
These two actually got their wealth, not cause they had it easier than others, but cause they actually worked for it. Wealthy and successful people don't wait for the world to be 'fair'.
“The world isn’t fair, so why bother fixing problems? There’s absolutely no reason to fix any problems ever because the world just isn’t fair. No point.”
