Gabe Newell is the only billionaire I trust tbh

The rest can take a one-way ticket to Proxima Centauri b or wherever the fuck so we never see them again. But then again they'll make off with more than half of Earth's wealth in the process.

I’d be more than happy to man the guillotine.

WTF @ Elon Musk's ludicrous wealth increase...  How did that happen?  What made him so special in the last year and a bit?  The gains of the other 9 are totally insignificant by comparison.

mostly asset gains, as I understand it. i.e. trading fuckery, not necessarily company profits.

still can't get over the ugliness of the shoes they're wearing. 

also, fuck this guy.

Taxes pay for civilization you greedy fuck.

Roads, sidewalks, schools, parks, hospitals, fire departments are all there for the public good as they should be.  Everyone ought to be paying in according to their means.

Demonizing the state or "big gov't" is disingenuous.  Sure there is plenty of inefficiency but the problems of poor allocation are not inherent, rather they are by way of unethical politicians and leadership directing revenues according to whatever political ideology holds sway.  You know, the c*nts your fellow billionaire cronies prop up to do just that.

Capitalism is a cancer slowly eating civilization and whoever thinks the opposite is just deluding itself.

capitalism is the greatest and most productive economic system ever devised.  it's not my problem that your environment is being destroyed.  mine is temperature controlled and can float in the ocean. 

signed, bourgeoisie

infinite growth in a finite world was never a good idea to start with. the capitalist class destroyed our planet for their own luxury.

^ is that how it ends for humanity? in the not too distant future, the last humans will be the tech bro billionaires, bobbing around in the ocean, floating luxuriously in their hi-tech islands, while the rest of us get wiped out from the mega typhoon caused by other oil crazed gazillionaires dicking up this planets environment. sounds about right to me.
