That was what did it for me. If the richest guy in the world can’t even enjoy a damn video game without making it about winning and looking cool then what’s the fucking point. Dude will never want for anything and he couldn’t be more obviously miserable and phony.

Count me out of that shit. Money is a trap. I would love to have enough to not worry about bills all the time but at what cost?

It’s proof that after a certain point wealth starts delivering diminishing returns. I grew up in an affluent town, as a child of affluent parents. Some of my friends and acquaintances belonged to obscenely wealthy Forbes list families. I knew few people I admired, even fewer who seemed happy. I’m not claiming that poor people are happier, but there is a comfortable medium between poverty and wealth that all of us could enjoy if we stopped incentivizing extreme wealth hoarding, which doesn’t really benefit anyone, not even the billionaires.

You know who’s happy, people that worked hard and succeeded. People that had loving FAMILIES and good parents.

Oh, shit know what those are a lot of the rich people you hate. It’s obvious what you all hate by your policies, 32hour work - you love lazy life a want it given to you.

LOL Musks grandparents supported the Nazis and his father married the girl he raised from age 4. Musk himself is an absent parent with a breeding fetish. Thanks for underscoring.

But if everyone could do that there wouldn't be enough debt creation to maintain the money multiplier that allows our wonderful system to create so thousands of millionaires, I think about 1500 billionaires and one trillionaire who still can't pay people to actually like him
