    Not really his fault he is a billionaire. He was an immigrant kid who washed dishes and bused tables til he went to college. He worked his way up and started one of the most successful companies in the world.

    You can hate the system but you don’t need to hate every person in it.

      I didn’t say I hated him. Point where I did? My critque isn’t about him specifically, it is a critque on a broader topic.

      I didn’t claim to know where he came from, his life, none of that.

      What Is being posited is that billionaires are unethical, they should not exit. This I’d a direct commentary of my disgust with the systems that be.

      Move along.

        You approved of it being okay to make up negative things about a person simply because they are a billionaire. You’re saying, why fact check this meme, dude is rich so I agree with their nonsense regardless.

        It is always okay to punch up, but it is silly and foolish to punch up randomly. It is a major part of mob mentality and why we are in the position we are today. It shouldn’t be a surprise that billionaires use social media wharrgarbl to fight other billionaires. We literally just saw one use this tactic to influence a major election.

          Your putting words in my mouth. I said no such thing. I made no commentary on validity of what the OP said or didn’t say.

          No billionaire should exist. Period.

          No one person should amass that much wealth. You grossly misunderstand me. Not that getting through to some internet schmuck means anything.
