No they just don't deserve to be rich but that's another question.

The real issue is how there was excessive media coverage, cries of empathy from the public, .... while migrants fleeing from famine, conflict and natural disasters drown every day and do not recieve the same aid, empathy and attention.

@Gloomy How do they not deserve to be rich? If you earn the money you don't deserve to be rich?
Gloomy · F
@MeowsoliniReturns wealth generated by owning capital, bank speculation, inheritance, .... is not earned wealth. There is no justificaton for some people to earn millions while people who work in jobs that destroys their body physically like in construction earn not even a fraction of it.

@Gloomy But how do you know how they earned their money?
Gloomy · F
@MeowsoliniReturns its easy to obtain this information these days simply google people.

spoken like someone who is lazy and not willing to earn for yourself and jealous of those who do

@Torsten A person owning capital is not earning for themselves though 🤔
Torsten · 36-40, M
@Gloomy and how did they come by that capital in the first place?
Gloomy · F
@Torsten Statistically more likely due to inheriting either the capital or the money for investement.
The self made billionaire idea is a myth

@Gloomy so you dont even know yet just making assumptions and claiming they dont deserve their money?
Gloomy · F
@Torsten well in the case of Dawood for example he inherited wealth and was head of an investment firm.

The existence of billionaires is a systemic failure. I am not saying they deserved death btw

@Torsten oh my fuckin god I think you asked me the same question already, also out of context to make some dumb point

@Torsten Like I said billionaires are a system failure.
Inheriting small family businesses? No prob
Family home? No problem
But inheritance of large sums of money should be heavily taxed
