And I might add maybe not the happiest people either. They could have everything they want yet they don’t always seem all that happy. Elon Musk for example doesn’t seem much happier than the average person, maybe even less so (depends on who you’re comparing against of course).
You mean the guy that suggested privatizing publicly invested vaccines? That guy is invested in saving as many lives as possible? … rofl!
Musk also bought Tesla. He did not invent it. He did not contribute anything except the fucking trashcan cybertruck. He is a blight on this world, and more people need to realize that.
Dude is missing the fucking point anyway. So what if there actually is a generous philanthropist billionaire? Does that prove that the system is working, because it enables private citizens to accumulate enough power to change the world any way they see fit? Because then we have a system where we are at the mercy as a society of the personal idiosyncrasies of the ultra wealthy, instead of elected officials.
If money is supposed to be a metric of success, then morality is nothing but the accumulation of money, and he who gets the most gets to tell everyone else how the world is to be run.
Societies cannot successfully and equitably and fairly be run by private individuals with extreme wealth. It is, in fact, the polar opposite of what we have tried to achieve with democratic societies. That’s the whole point of paying taxes, of having laws and regulations that diminish the influence of money, because let run wild, we get countries and populations run by modern warlords and chieftains bent on getting ever more for themselves and less for everyone else.
Capitalism is a fucking CANCER on humanity.
yes, the cybertruck that only sold half of what he predicted and they had a shitload of cybertrucks left over because no one wanted them.
