Absolutely hitting the nail on the head. This is something that isn’t being properly discussed anywhere in society; how many billions does a billionaire need before a billionaire has enough billions?
If enough is never enough, then that’s not sustainable, it’s not healthy for our civilization, and they’re absolutely suffering from a form of mental illness that requires social intervention. If a trillion is the number before they’ll actually be satisfied; then they need to adjust their goals.
Dare I say it: as long as there are camps full of homeless, as long as people working 60+ hours a week and can’t afford both food and a place to live, as long as 50% of the population is one missed paycheck from going broke- there should be no billionaires.
Our economy is dysfunctional and serving the interests of the rich above everyone else. We need an adjustment before the tipping point tips us from untenable into chaos, because these current trends are leading us all into ruin.
