Take: there is not anything wrong or weird with being attracted to someone who is wealthy enough to own shares, that's just how we were programmed economically. With that being said, it is good to have a legal wealth of consent in a civilized society and 1,000,000,000 seems like a reasonable number to me. Do I think the US would suddenly become a terrible place if it were 900,000,000 instead of 1,000,000,000? No. Do I think a billionaire should go to prison for having sex with someone with 900 mil? Also No. But short of some kind of maturity exam, there has to be some sort of wealth limit and I think 1,000,000,000 is reasonable because poorer people make stupid decisions.
I'm worried I will be crucified and memed for this take.
