      Idk man, have anyone considered that maybe, just maybe, a person doesn’t need 7 yachts and 9 mansions, 15 apartment buildings as rentals, more than 10 billion dollars that they couldn’t reasonably spend all of it, and earning thousands of dollars per minute. Just maybe don’t really need all of that.

      🤔

        Is that the standard package they all receive? All of them? In every industry everywhere?

        Let’s calm down on the “everyone on a board of directors probably needs shooting” energy. There’s am awful lot of medium size companies staffed by regular every day people for every fat cat evil corporate overlord. The guy with a 3yo Audi on a lease is not the same as the guy who has a driver for his Maybach.

          Don’t waste your effort. You see similar in every discussion on this site about landlords too. No nuance allowed.

          The local guy renting out his late parents’ home at below market rate is just as despicable as the slumlord lackeys of the investment companies that don’t do any upkeep.

            Where is the nuance in who a billionaire exploits for their wealth?

            There is a clear difference between someone with 1-3 rentals and someone who owns half a town. Should there be landlords at all? No. Are the small scale ones evil? Probably not.

            That being said, fuck it, god will sort them out. we need the energy this has brought up and I don’t want to see a god damned thing tempering it.

              It’s not about nuance, it’s just running defense.
