      We do.

      Being on lemmy.dbzer0.com I’m surprised your feed isn’t covered in people demanding the removal of all billionaires. The existence of billionaires is the problem, not what they spend that money on or what percentage they donated.

        “Billionaires shouldn’t exist” I definitely agree with. I think the production of billionaires is a problem. Focusing on the current existence of all the ones we have now won’t accomplish much sustainably and doesn’t prevent the problem in the future.

        I’d really prefer the energy and focus went to better tax laws to prevent higher wealth gain; even if it’s just a start. Gates and other rich people have previously supported such changes.

      Because he isn’t doing anything either. He promised to get rid of it in 20 years.

      First, he’s a psychopath, I don’t trust a word he says. Additionally, in 20 years he’ll be almost 90. Aka huge chance he’ll be actually dead of old age.

      And last, you don’t get to fuck the world for decades and then suddenly become a good person because you promise to stop being a shitstain in another 2 decades.
