      It’s not crazy. I too would buy up my neighbors properties for what equates to a few hundred dollars.

          And that’s why we’ll never be billionaires.

            Yup!

            That’s why there’s no good billionaires.

            Psychopathy can only be adaptive and advantageous if the majority of the population has no barriers. If they kill everyone but them, they’ll just die or work themselves.
