    They deserve negative reinforcement though. “Rewarding billionaires” for anything feels very wrong, regardless of the ends.

      Do you want to punish billionaires for their wealth hoarding sociopathy or to make things better? Both is ideal, but one matters more than the other.

          They are always donating outside the counry too, like great and all but youd think theyd help the country and ppl that made them rich instead of cutting down on employees and maximizing profits

            I think people have realized that A) they’re never going to be that rich, B) being that rich means you’re an evil person. We just want to fucking live. The only ethical billionaire is Dolly Parton.

            And of course they are maximizing profits. They are all sociopaths. If they weren’t, Dolly wouldn’t be (as) special.
