I like the subtle re-framing Zohran does here. The liberal thing of "Billionares shouldn't exist" is silly and makes post people that say it look dumb. It's an easy tagline but 1 billion is also a bad metric.

BUT you do have to ask - what's the marginal benefit of Zuck/Bezos/Gates having their 100th or 200th billion dollars? Surely society would be better of if 80% of that billion went to something else? Obviously not easily done (or done at all?) since most of it is just in a company that they started, but idk

I mean bezos spent 20-50 million dollars on a wedding and 33% of Amazon workers have used one form of public assistance, 26% of that assistance being snap. This is an insane statistic, and I think people are waking up to that
