      Fuck’em.

      Only ones that deserve any kind of sympathy is the 19 year old son who didn’t wanna go but went anyways for his rich ass dad since it was father’s day and the titanic expert dude that just wanted to explore. The other 3 were rich jackasses who thought they were invincible or some shit.

      I’m with you on this one. I love dark humor but this one just seems like hateful humor. If it is inspired by hate, I’m no longer on that boat.

      Feels like “the only good commie is a dead commie. HAHAHA” but opposite.

        Having robbed the world for decades, and having personally solidified a rapacious system, these people are responsible for a lot of past and future misery, ranging from missed opportunities to death and disease.

          I’m not sure if being a billionaire necessarily means all of those things. I know some that are actually doing good stuff for the people, like Mark Cuban. Is he perfect? Probably not, but he’s doing something about a real issue that was screwing a lot of people in the US.

            No one becomes a billionaire working.

            You become a billionaire by exploiting the worker class.

              I don’t know. I don’t know how all billionaires in the world have acquired their capital. I do know that the most relevant ones, like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have exploited workers, but I don’t know if this can be generalized. Do you?

                All of them have acquired their capital in the exact same way, by exploiting in the worker class. It’s impossible to gather 1 billion dollars any other way.

                  Why is it impossible to get this rich without taking advantage of other people?

                  Many successful businesses don’t exploit their employees.

                    You need to earn 2 million every month, not spend a penny and then work for 40 years to become a billionaire. No days off either.

            To me, the act of amassing all that wealth is a crime by itself. It is the accumulation of countless (small and big) transactions in which you could have shared the value more equally, and decided not to. You could have paid your employees more, and decided not to. You could have made your product/service more affordable (to more people) and you decided not to. After having accumulated a certain amount of wealth, I think such decisions are immoral.

            There are no ethical billionaires. It is not possible to obtain that kind of economic power without consciously exploiting others.
