    They earned enough in this year to pay $2,000 to every US resident and still make a profit.

    Time to eat the rich.

    The problem with being greedy is people will eventually fight back. No matter how powerful you are. When people have nothing left to lose they’ll come for you, and they have greater numbers.

    Even if you could kill all those coming for you… you won’t have any slaves left and you lose that way. You can’t win this game long term.

    How are rich people so stupid?

      Because it’s stupid to want to be a billionaire in the first place. You get diminishing returns in happiness past $100k/year, and no increase past $500k/year. They’re wasting their lives for nothing.

        They also never hear no. No struggle in life and people just become playthings. That breaks your brain - even if they weren’t already broken, which they would have had to be to become a billionaire in the first place guilt-free.

    I’d love to see a graph of that growth including growth rates during the previous handful of presidencies.
