  • If you truly believe that it is naive or ignorant to have a problem with any individual hoarding

    Well, here’s an example of the ignorance I was referring to: no billionaire is “hoarding” anything. Their net worth comes from the value of their investments, investments into businesses that function within the economy. And investing into a business, and in turn owning a piece of it, is absolutely not “hoarding” that piece. To define it that way would be to define that owning anything equals “hoarding” it.

    Ownership and hoarding are not the same thing. The fact that I have something you don’t doesn’t mean I’m “hoarding” it. That is a ridiculous notion.

    so much wealth that they could solve just about any problem where money is the limitation

    You have zero perspective on just how costly those problems are, nor the fact that there is almost no major problem that an injection of funds can fix all by itself.

    The US government spends more each and every year than the net worth of every US billionaire combined. Over $1 trillion (which is ONE THOUSAND TIMES the amount of wealth that ‘qualifies’ someone as a billionaire) was spent last year on welfare programs alone.

    It’s just not as much as you think it is, in the grand scheme of things.

    I don’t think we can have a meaningful conversation.

    Until you become more familiar with the facts of the matter, I definitely agree.












  • I don’t have to speculate about what I “think” he’s doing, I actually saw the context directly. I know it might be a foreign concept to you, but I don’t just blindly accept without question what I see on social media. You may be content to be this gullible, but I’m not, and that’s a flaw on your part, not mine. Intellectual laziness.

    He was talking about having problems with malfunctioning microphones, and was pantomiming messing with a mic and talking into it to see if it works. He did almost exactly the same thing with an actual dying mic in his hand not two minutes before this clip.

    You’re only making yourself look like more of a pornsick coomer by insisting so hard that he, for no apparent reason, just decided to start pretending to suck a penis.
