      • Microsoft: monopolist founded with a “small loan”
      • Amazon: monopolist founded with a “small loan”
      • Berkshire Hathaway - founded by a congressman’s son with access to wealth and education
      • CDProjekt, wow an outlier!
      • TOYOTA - generational wealth

      Literally every single successful business made it’s founder a fortune

      LMFAO “the winners won”. Any other tautologies you want to spout? “The losers lost” maybe?

              And the people in the middle? Sure, the people exploited for the production of those goods benefited a lot. The child forced to harvest coffee and chocolate really enjoyed the transaction.

                  Really? The western companies exploiting them aren’t to blame? The western companies that pay off people to look the other way? The western companies that organise military coups? The western companies that murder opposition? The western companies that send their trash to the country to destroy the market there?
