    You’re just framing people without actually knowing them.

    I don’t need to know them to know the harm of their actions.

    my grandma who worked 60 hour weeks for 30 years as a weever and living in poor conditions

    Was NOT a billionaire or anything even remotely comparable. I don’t have anything against people who work hard and honestly achieve wealth of non-absurd proportions like her.

    However, this doesn’t make her a cutthroat.

    Again, you can work hard without being cutthroat about it. Not so with becoming and remaining a BILLIONAIRE.

    Hearing you say these things is a disgrace to my grandma and to everyone who is like her. To honest people doing hard work and getting a bit of luck.

    No. If anything, the disgrace to her and everyone like her, who achieve wealth and success honestly, is to compare them to billionaires.

    As I expected, you have no understanding of the vast difference between millions and billions, so here’s a visual aid:

    The first two, and even multiples of them are within the limits of “hard work and a bit of luck”. The obscene hoard that is the third isn’t.

    If you still don’t understand it, it’s probably because you don’t WANT to understand or are pathologically UNABLE to, in which point there’s no point continuing to waste my time explaining what is obvious to a third grader but not an adult with decades of brainwashing to erase all sense of proportion.
