I just can't imagine having such excessive wealth and not saying "eh, whatever" when someone tells me I'm losing money on some internet fees.
You fucker, you could make the world at least a tiny bit better for billions of people at virtually no expense to you, but you just keep playing your stupid fucking rich manchildren games with your billionaire parasite buddies.
Keep grinding bro, maybe this way you'll get used to the feeling of having your bones crushed in the grinder.
It makes more sense when you realize his wealth is all smoke and mirrors based on a shared lie.
You don't get that wealthy in the first place by not gobbling up every fucking penny you have a chance to. You think he's just going to take the dub and stop?
It's not evem really losing money it's inventing in the infrastructure youre using to make money.
That's the thing with massively wealthy people (which until recently meant billionaires and near-billionaires). They're not interested in making the world better for others. The one thing that makes them happy is... more billions added to their wealth. Why? They don't know... but they must have it. But the happiness is only temporary - until they become unhappy again and crave even more billions.
How else you get to inflate the stock price?
You got to get the returns on it.
That's why you'd never attain that wealth.
I know, he's better than me by a factor of his net worth divided by my net worth. So around, what, 100 millions times?
Not better, just a hoarder.
It's why there are no good rich people.
It isn't just the company leader. It is the brigade of product managers, pricing accountants and more that are involved in these types of corporate consensus decisions.
There is a fleet of people who see their bonuses, commissions, and rev share increasing.
Greed is contagious.
