Rich and ultra rich are not the same so what you meant was not conveyed, which is your fault. Your intent doesn't matter when you use the wrong words lol. I didn't use the wrong words. When some idiot goes off the deep end using outliers like a lottery winners to debate my point it is clear that they are either really dumb, have a hard time with logic, or are trolling. When I say people don't get that level of wealth without exploiting people you think I mean a lottery winner or a person with a few millions? JFC use your fucking brains.

If so, who gets to decide what that limit is and why do they get to decide? What is inherently wrong about being that successful/lucky/whatever? Is greed a sin? How does it manifest in someone's life? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I used ultra rich afterwards since an example like "lottery winner" was used as a retort which is clearly not what I'm talking about. Stop being obtuse.

I would say yes, but does having a lot of money make you greedy or is it more about what you do with it? Does being philanthropic mean you can't have a shit ton of money or be greedy AF? I'm sure for a number of wealthy people being philanthropic feeds their greed for people's adoration of them. Yet, through their greedy philanthropy a lot of people are being helped. So how do you chop that up? What's that the bible says? Money is the root of all evil? No, the love of money is the root of all evil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the love of money is the root of all evil. I think there comes a point where having more money is clearly immoral. One of the struggles we have is that people don't fully understand big numbers. They've done a ton of studies on this and people just don't get how astronomically, much more significantly large a billion is than a million and even less so what a billion is compared to what most people have or earn. Frankly, I think the cut off for where immoral starts is way lower than people think it would be, simply because they can't properly comprehend those big numbers. And I think we give people a pass on greed where we don't with other sins simply because something in our culture suggests it's desirable. There's a part of all of us that wants that luxury and so we just don't judge it as harshly as those other sins. Even when it's flaunted and abused.

OILERMAN Posted December 13, 2024 Report Share Posted December 13, 2024 It's not about having wealth..... It's about getting that wealth by exploiting people who have paid for a service to keep you alive or healthy and then having a business model that makes sure not to provide that very service. When you get killed doing that by one of your marks then yes, the public may join in mocking your death. rns90, Starkiller, and Atlas 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck off with your disingenuous bullshit. Mocking a death is one thing, especially where dad backs over his kid by accident. Mocking the CEO's death is fine as well although framing him as some mass murderer is a massive stretch. Defending a premeditated murderer, which some of you are laughably doing, is ridiculous. As is saying any wealthy person needs to be killed. There's a very clear distinction. 'Nator 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted December 13, 2024 Report Share Posted December 13, 2024 As someone who had medical issues still having to pay of that debt fuck them and who cares if this pos got shot, the company I work for the ceo makes 30 million a year while greed and lack of empathy gets them to the top, without any care for your workers.

It’s not that he’s rich etc. it’s that he’s basically not delivering on the contract (health coverage and profiting off of it. I think the wealth stuff obscures this point.
