    And some guy says “hey man, you need to give back like 20% of that. And that’s kinda lowkey generous tbh.” And their response is literally like “no.”

    Beyond every great fortune is a great crime.

    Why would you think the modern day Robber Barons could be swayed by social need? If they cared about social need, they wouldn’t be billionaires to begin with.

      If they need say first aid or a blood transfusion or the mob to stop beating them to death I think they could be persuaded to understand that we live in a society.

      That’s even stranger to me. That the one true sign of immorality and a lack integrity is literally wealth. Oh you got wealth? Yeah you’re 99.5% probably a POS. And there is a .5% chance of error.

        I think you gotta check your math there. I think you meant to say 100.5% with a 0.5% error.
