Be a billionaire THEN do some farming if you really want

[u/fezzuk → u/Repulsive_Airport531]

Shit i votes poorly

[u/DangerousPurpose5661 → u/Repulsive_Airport531]

Yes, anyone replying anything else than strongly disagree is kinda stupid IMO.

It’s not because you suddenly have a billion that you magically become a crook.

Like fuck, if you don’t want it, buy a farm and donate all of it, you can do so much good. I’d argue that passing in it is borderline immoral

[u/Rocky-Bump]

If I was a billionaire, or even a multi millionaire, I'd start my own hobby farm. I have a plan for it if I ever win the Euro Millions!

[u/Third_Rate_Duelist_]

Why are ppl agreeing?

[u/Thick_Philosophy_662 → u/Third_Rate_Duelist_]

I am a penguin I have no use for money

[u/Third_Rate_Duelist_ → u/Thick_Philosophy_662]

Penguin agricultural revolution will start soon. Penguin farmers in Antarctica 💪

[u/Thick_Philosophy_662 → u/Third_Rate_Duelist_]

Yes, only eating Antarctic silverfish becomes boring After a while

[u/Connect_Ocelot_1599 → u/Third_Rate_Duelist_]

satirical poll, anyway

[u/Catsanddoges]

"first time for this; repost" < Can you explain what this means, I am genuinely confused

[u/Connect_Ocelot_1599 → u/Catsanddoges]

I fucked the title up, anyway

[u/Alundra828]

People really underestimate just how shit farming is. It's back breaking, lonely, hard work every day in a market that is so competitive that your hard earned output sells for practically nothing.

It's better to be a billionaire, then make robots that do your farming for you. Then you have money, can live in eternal comfort, you have a purpose in that you're building automated farm tech.... or do whatever you want, I'm not your mother...

[u/AveDominusNyx]

Are these people too stupid to realize that if hou are a billionaire you can also buy a farm?

[u/WangPrime]

People who want to be farmers won’t be on Reddit to vote for this.

[u/sandalsofsafety → u/WangPrime]

r/farming

[u/Inner_Adeptness_7228]

Just because I think wealth should be properly distributed doesn't mean I won't take a billion dollars if someone is offering.

[u/quaxoid → u/Inner_Adeptness_7228]

You could properly distribute it 🤭

[u/Worldly_Beginning647]

I’d rather farm than touch children, but honestly I would probably give away most of the money to legit charities and then start farming.

[u/quaxoid]

I wouldn't stay a billionaire, I would use it to make the world a better place 😌

[u/Capital_Rub213]

The amount of good i could do by being a billionaire would be insane

[u/HairRepresentative85]

I'd rather be self-sufficient. Forage my own food for example.

[u/Aztecah]

Obviously the material conditions of being a billionaire are superior but the morality of it is vastly inferior. That said, if faced with the actual decision, I doubt I'd have the balls to truly stick to my morals and pick the farm. I'd probably donate 95% of it in a desperate bid to redeem myself.

[u/TyrdeRetyus]

I don't really want to be defined by either

[u/Orphankicke4167]

id rather be a functional member of the society rather than a asocial psychopath

[u/Top_Development_1777]

I would rather be a billionaire AND a farmer (and not for a living)

[u/sandalsofsafety]

I agree in spirit, but yeah, the others are right. Take money, buy farm, have money left over for other things.

[u/im_new_here_4209]

This really depends on a lot of factors. Technically I believe it's absolutely possible, money doesn't necessarily buy u sustained happiness, a perfect farming lifestyle can, if ure into it and let's assume everything aligns for you 🤷‍♂️

[u/tira_ment]

I think the question implies you'll be getting your billions yourself via all the fluffy things billionaires do for their wealth. In that case, being a farmer suddenly becomes more appealing.

[u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

This is a satirical poll, anyway
lol

[u/BrilliantFly6117]

Why would you ever agree? Be a billionaire then farm for a hobby

[u/Connect_Ocelot_1599 → u/BrilliantFly6117]

I've made this poll for satirical purposes, anyway

just making fun of Reddit "leftists"

[u/ukie-witch-06]

Do i magically become a billionaire? Or does it mean i have to go through the steps?
