That is funny coming from a man who has more than than 20 times the median networth of US citizens.

My family comes from a country that was literally destroyed (it no longer exists) because of socialism. I have no room specifics for rich people that promote the sharing of wealth.

If you don't understand the vast gulf between a million and a billion, no one can help you.

The difference is nothing. You can not move a thing with a billion dollars. Pay a man one thousand or one billion, he can still only kill one man at a time. Pay him one thousand or a one billion and he can still only tell one lie on TV at a time.

In the world of finance, a billion dollars is a big thing on paper. Because that is all finance is, numbers on paper. In the real world, it does nothing. Without people, nothing can be achieved. Try to use billions to get something done on its own and you will achieve nothing. It is not money that grands wealth power, is the people who want it. And you need a lot of people who want it, to effectively gain impact with large amounts of wealth. This is why the government, media and "influencers" push people into ideologies of their choosing. A person has no issue shooting at unarmed people for money, if they believe in the employers vision. I wouldn't suck a mans dick for a billion dollars. But another weak degenerate man would. As such, the power is not in the billions, it in the weakness of a man.

Oh so you're talking some Utopian Vision thing. Got it.

It is not money that grands wealth power, is the people who want it. And you need a lot of people who want it, to effectively gain impact with large amounts of wealth.

Well seeing as money buys food, shelter, clothing, and iphones; it's safe to say we've met your conditions, in the real world.

Will a few dollars worth of time and seed in garden vs a billion dollars of food, you can still only eat so much.

What Im trying to get across, is that a billion dollars is a lot of money, specially compared to a million, but in the real world it's has no power. Money is nothing. The greatest influence and change occurs with just people. And when you want to spend great amounts of money, it can not be done without willing people. EG, billions of Venezuela currency will get you nothing as people are not interested. French revolutions change the entire nation, via poor people. Man wont suck a dick for all the money in the world because his morals are more important. If you want to build a large building, you need the people to do it. If you want to destroy another nation, you need the people to do it.

And what's the fastest, easiest way to convince people to do things you want, hmm? 🤔
