minus-square@focusfortelink9•1 year agoThe problem isn’t a billionaire that’s done anything good, the problem is a billionaire who has done more good things than bad. Those don’t exist. There’s no amount of good you can do to make up for the amount of exploitation you had to do in order to get to be a billionaire. It doesn’t mean that a billionaire can’t do anything good. It just means the world would still be better off without them.
