    One billion dollars can buy a fuck ton of beanie babies, hold onto them for 30 years and they would be worth millions of dollars!

    Can we just discuss how the current billionaires are more interested in hurting people than enjoying life?

    I ain’t saying that having a billion dollars is a bad thing, but I will say you can have a billion dollars and still be missing a piece

    Or box of pieces

      I ain’t saying that having a billion dollars is a bad thing

      I am, though. It ABSOLUTELY is. That much wealth concentrated on one person is extremely toxic to the psyche of the person as well as detrimental to the function of society as a whole.

    That much money is a fucking hassle. Everyone wants it and bothers you about it. You can’t just leave it alone, it needs to be managed. Some portion of that money goes to pay for the management of it. And if anyone finds out you have that money, they treat you differently because generally, only shitheads and assholes have that much money. Money is fucking toxic and humanity is a giant disappointment

    If I had 1 billion, I would set up a fund of 990 million to advance my agenda of free software, citizen rights and clean energy. With 10 million my entire family and next generation can freeload, lol.
