    Why are you picking apart this simplification? OP is not suggesting we eliminate money, they are simply trying to showcase how fucked up billionaires are.

    Are you here to defend billionaires?

      Because it’s a dumb oversimplification that doesn’t really add anything to the discussion.

      “Imagine you need to work to make money, but some people have more money than they could have ever made working” works just as well and doesn’t introduce a bunch of society-breaking plot holes.
