    What do you mean how? The concept of a billionaire existing being bad has a massive relevance as to whether one individual a billionaire is bad. If the mere fact of being a billionaire is bad, which it obviously is, then it doesn’t matter who this individual billionaire is he’s already tainted by being a billionaire. That’s just one plus one equals two. It’s inescapable logic. Of course it’s relevant.

      I don’t think that’s obvious at all. Becoming a billionaire just means you have a billion dollars worth of assets, and it doesn’t say anything about how you got that money.

      There’s a high correlation between billionaire’s and being a bad person, but it’s not 1:1.

        I’m not going to get sidetracked into that conversation. Especially when there is absolutely zero chance of us agreeing on it. The topic was whether or not that determination is relevant. Which again obviously it has to be.

            Cool beans dude, not what we were talking about. We were talking about whether or not that determination is relevant.
