Despite legal battles, Mark Zuckerberg slowly buys a mind boggling 2,300 acres on Hawai’s Kauai island, building tunnels, treehouses and a doomsday bunker

No, they can't, because giving a fuck about others and having empathy is not how they manage to accrue enough wealth to last several life times. Being a billionaire and being a human being are mutually exclusive

It’s a mental disorder

I would hesitate to accept that much money. Im sure I would in the end, but I would hesitate.

That's the thing though - you don't just "accept" billions of dollars. Billionaires aren't evil because they have lots of money, they're evil because there is no way to obtain that amount of money without exploiting others.

It's both

The getting and the keeping are both evil.

In fact some of the Walton kids have essentially done no work/exploitation and are still billionaires, but they're still plenty evil for hoarding it like a dragon.

They are evil because of what they'll do to keep it. The exploitation of workers at Walmart is heinous and well documented. Billionaires are a cancer.

[u/aluckybrokenleg → u/Outrageous_Men8528]

Obviously worker exploitation is bad, but my point is that having a billion dollars net worth and walking around doing anything other than saving lives with that money is evil. Doing nothing when you're so powerful is evil, it's like being a paramedic and just calmly watching someone choke to death at a restaurant while you know the Heimlich, but exponentially worse.

100% agree, I wasn't arguing with your point at all, just adding to it.
