I just can't imagine having such excessive wealth and not saying "eh, whatever" when someone tells me I'm losing money on some internet fees.

You fucker, you could make the world at least a tiny bit better for billions of people at virtually no expense to you, but you just keep playing your stupid fucking rich manchildren games with your billionaire parasite buddies.

Keep grinding bro, maybe this way you'll get used to the feeling of having your bones crushed in the grinder.

It isn't just the company leader. It is the brigade of product managers, pricing accountants and more that are involved in these types of corporate consensus decisions.

There is a fleet of people who see their bonuses, commissions, and rev share increasing.

Greed is contagious.

How else you get to inflate the stock price?
You got to get the returns on it.

You don't get that wealthy in the first place by not gobbling up every fucking penny you have a chance to. You think he's just going to take the dub and stop?

It makes more sense when you realize his wealth is all smoke and mirrors based on a shared lie.

It's not evem really losing money it's inventing in the infrastructure youre using to make money.

That's why you'd never attain that wealth.

I know, he's better than me by a factor of his net worth divided by my net worth. So around, what, 100 millions times?

Not better, just a hoarder.

It's why there are no good rich people.
