Why do people pretend like billionaires didn't earn their wealth? It's not like they were handed it.

>> No.57273624

The super rich didn't fuck the average person, their investments are not small time shit. Property was made unaffordable by all the mom & pop investors buying 1-2-3 or so homes each, so basically the upper-middle & upper class completely fucked up the middle and working class.

There is not a billionaire going around buying up homes, its normalfags from upper-middle and upper class backgrounds flipping properties or accumulating properties via debt.

The normalfags started this, not the billionaires, the billionaires dont give a fuck about buying out your street full of family homes and demolishing them to build units, thats all small time property developers and boomers who are upper-middle/upper, no where near the super global rich elite.

Nepotism and rich parents do not help if you don't learn or do anything useful. Most of you will never know but it's pretty hard to control a tech company.
I don't really like these guys but at least they created useful products.

USA, Canada and Australia has much lower population density than Europe and the houses are still more expensive there.
Property is unaffordable in most places because the government don't allow you to build houses.

His friend is the one who did all the work and he expressed how he felt about getting ZERO credit for anything he's done for Apple. Steve jobs fired employees in his s8yb8y anger outbursts for no reason and had a fetish for sticking his feet in the toilet and flushing it to calm his mind. Back to the point: he did not build apple to what it is, his friend did. It is true they started everything out of their garage though.

When you understand how hostile civilization is to the creation and transfer of wealth, you really can't fault billionaires for pushing everything to the limits as much as possible to try to protect themselves and their loved ones from being utterly devoured like everyone else and by everyone else. As soon as you have something to take, everyone lines up for their shot to take it, including your own government. If you just bent over and spread your cheeks, you'd be amazed how fast you run out of things to take and you end up following everyone to the next line looking for the next dumb ass bending over and letting everyone take them away in pieces.

Yeah. I think it's just about thoughtfully laying down some ground rules for spending and where excess is allocated and then following these rules with the zeal of a jihadist. I have set a fixed amount to keep in my checking account equal to 1.5x my monthly expenses (bills/groceries), any more than that goes into HYSA, up to a limit of 5x the value of the checking, this is my cash buffer to protect my equities from being dipped into in unexpected circumstances like a car breakdown. When these are both full every extra penny gets funneled into my taxed brokerage. Oh yeah and every start of year a small portion of my HYSA gets dumped to instantly max out my Roth. Overall it's not a high iq financial management plan at all, a monkey could come up with a decent plan, discipline is what truly makes you good with money. The world is full of temptation.

>> No.57274433

Imagine seething about how high iq people come from high iq families and high iq families usually have people in them that make lots of money. Like of course people smart enough to become billionaires come from families smart enough to make money. The only people who seethe about this are retards from retard families who arent smart enough to make money. They act like any mundane moderately high paying job is a ticket to uber success. Like look at Bezos's blurb: it just says his adoptive father worked at Exxon mobile for 10 years, like that automatically makes him rich. Thats upper middle class at best. Imagine how many kids of Exxon workers didn't even become multi millionaires. Nevermind the fact that he was the product of teen pregnancy and his real dad was a fucking circus act.

Losers will come up with any justification as to why theyre losers. it's sad.

Intelligence is a small factor compared to luck and connections and birth circumstances. It can be a linchpin that makes the other stuff actually useful but just being 160 iq does nothing. If anything, the smarter you are the more at risk you are of alienating yourself from the cattle herd.

I would love for you to be correct, but I'm not entirely convinced this civilization is beyond crucifying Jesus himself 10 out of 10 times, even if he showed up on a beam of light radiating out of God's giant ass cheeks as they poked through the clouds above the capitol building. Until that is no longer the case, everyone with a savior complex should consider a little more caution in their world view. I am eagerly awaiting to be proven wrong and when that happens, I think very special things will happen for this planet.

buffet is just an oil boomer who uses his name/power to get into deals

Not sure wtf bill gates is up to, chipping people, injecting them with untested vaccines. i suppose africans are some sort of medical test fodder.

Bezos is trying to acheive something thats probably impossible and the second he starts making real profit, they will try to break up the monopoly.

Elon is realistically a hero and will overshoot his agenda publicly, to layup. i think he got in over his head with twitter, mostly because he took things too fast politically. he should have just let people on the platform do it for him.
But realistically i think him and google will fight it out for the lead in Building home use robots, with microsoft opting to stay on the sideline for a.i. software with better margins.

only 15 more years until elon takes the credit for building your waifus.
