If I had a billion dollars I wouldn't work another fucking day in my life.
Billionaires have more money than they could ever spend, and spend so much time and effort trying to increase the size of the hoard and make sure they don't have to pay an extra fraction of it in taxes. It's a sickness.
You don't become a billionaire without being mentally ill, and for some reason we think the mentally ill are the most fit to run corporations.
Hell, you can give away 990 million of it, buy a house, put what's left in a high yield savings account, and live comfortably on the interest alone for the rest of your life.
And that is why there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire.
Once you have more than say 500million dollars, your bank account becomes purely a highscore entry
It is possible to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a yacht, and billions on space travel.
Sociopathic behavior is desirable in corporate leaders, and Infinite Growth is good for board members and shareholders.
Growing the hoard can be it's own game similar to idle games or gatcha games.
A massive waste of resources and damaging to the planet. Something a sociopath would acquire.
Cool. Let governments do that then. We don't need to corporatize space.
Infinite growth in a finite system is cancer. It kills the host every time
When the horde you're growing is resources other people need to survive you can go fuck yourself. Go play a gatcha game instead.
They are, because corporations are about taking as much profits away from others as possible and getting them for yourself. Its nothing nice about it. But it gives jobs.
This entire society is built on just taking resources, taking land, taking power from someone else, so you can benefit and not the others.
If there would be cooperation instead, humans could make a dream world here. But they cant. Its just in their fucking heads that they need to take more from others instead of sharing.
