| Which part of what I said are you unsure about? I'm pretty confident about it. > If you can type on HN you are probably much richer than most in 3rd world countries Centuries of exploitation, ongoing, that we all benefit from. Yes. > and you for sure can give majority of your wealth to them. Well, no, not really. Not if I want to own a house, and be able to retire some day. For those living in America it's even tougher; where a medical emergency can bankrupt a lot of people. But what you're missing is that the difference between being a millionaire (which I'm not even) and a billionaire is ... About a billion dollars. And rather than help 3rd world countries, or even the hungry people in their own, billionaires generally do shit like what's in the Epstein Files (which Thiel explicitly is) and the Panama Papers to keep things getting even better for themselves at everyone else's expense. So, you're conflating two very, very different scenarios. |
