Really appreciating a lot of these replies in my thread.
All I’m really asking for is factual explanations, and to be educated by my peers.
What I’m not asking for are default responses that sound like they are fresh out of the propaganda cookie cutter. And not to be labeled for asking a single question, or asking for consensus on what has been displayed as fact, or fiction.
I just want honesty.

Let’s stop dancing around it: Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
No one “earns” a billion dollars.
You extract a billion.
From underpaid workers.
From deregulated industries.
From tax havens.
From stolen land, stolen labor, and generational exploitation.
Meanwhile, nearly 700 million people live in extreme poverty on less than $2 a day (source: World Bank). And we’re out here defending the people who could end global hunger with a fraction of their net worth but choose not to?
Let’s be clear:
You don’t get to be a billionaire without creating suffering.
You underpay. You outsource. You lay off. You lobby to kill regulations.
You exploit a system built to protect wealth—not people.
Why do we tolerate it?
Because we’ve been sold a lie: that “someday,” we might be rich too.
But statistically, you’re more
