Totally right. Would be a horrible world. But for many it already is. Guess it's reciprocal to your net worth. And it's also no wonder people yearn for a violent solution. No sensible, human solution is possible. Billionaires don't go away due to words.
Also yes. I make sure the tiny circle i call family is safe and sound and doesn't need to worry about a number in some bank, but besides... I love boats yes, admittedly. But even with a gifted yacht i wouldn't know what to do with it. A house on the water? I know people who e. G. drive fancy poser-cars. And when i ask them what makes this car so great, it usually comes down to.. "errr because it's (insert brand) ". And, of course, it's brands that EVERYONE know is expensive. That's the only reason. They wouldn't pay the same for a brand noone even knows how expensive that is. It's not the looks, not the features, not the power, not the feeling when driving, it's the fucking price-tag.
But i also know the other kind. If you'd meet them on the street you would ask if they need a dollar or some food. But they're more rare.
