    Here’s how it works: people work in exchange for much less than the value they produce.

    That surplus value is turned into profit for the company, exorbitant salaries for executives and stock market value. Those are the sources of income that makes a billionaire.

    No matter how and where a billionaire started, that is how they became a billionaire: value produced by other people becoming wealth for one person. And a shitload of hoarding, of course.

    Statistics document reality, they don’t change how it works.

        God I hope you’re not old enough to vote cause you have no idea how anything works

        Says the worst case of Dunning-Kruger Syndrome I’ve come across all month 🙄

        I’m bored of your pompous mouse roars and will let you be a willfully ignorant tool (in both senses of the word) without wasting any more time and energy on you. Have the day you deserve.

            Plenty. And unlike someone misapplying the infinite monkey theorem to invent selfmade billionaires, I know how to properly apply the thoughts of myself and others in ways that comport with actual reality.

            Now go be an arrogant imbecile at someone else and leave me alone already.
