What irks me the most is that you have more than you could ever want or need. Like water. You are sitting on a well of decalitres. In a desert. And everyone is dying of thirst. And some guy says “hey man, you need to give back like 20% of that. And that’s kinda lowkey generous tbh.” And their response is literally like “no.”

Just. When is that rocket to the sun scheduled for completion already???

Beyond every great fortune is a great crime.

Why would you think the modern day Robber Barons could be swayed by social need? If they cared about social need, they wouldn't be billionaires to begin with.

That’s even stranger to me. That the one true sign of immorality and a lack integrity is literally wealth. Oh you got wealth? Yeah you’re 99.5% probably a POS. And there is a .5% chance of error.

I think you gotta check your math there. I think you meant to say 100.5% with a 0.5% error.
