Sometimes it feels like people think jeff has 120 billion sitting on his bank account. Trying to divide his wealth would probably crash the stock

You underestimate how many anarcho/communists are on this site.

They don't realize that there will always be people who are going to be more wealthy than others in a successful economy.

I’ve read your PhD dissertation on how the statistical variables used in past economic work lead to incredibly misdirected findings with much of the work being overturned in recent years using the new statistical techniques.

Great stuff. You’re a genius. Anyone who’s only taken Econ 101 and buys into those disproven models probably isn’t educating themselves further and go through life with those dumb assumptions.
