How do you feel about capitalism? || If you push the button, the avg wealth (and associated living standard) of everyone in the world decreases by 3%, BUT ALSO the top 0.1% wealthiest people in the world lose 99% of their net worth, it just vanishes. Do you press button?





My take on the ethics of billionaires: - Making billions of dollars: morally fine (sometimes bad, often good) - Keeping billions of dollars: morally bad (children are dying yo) - Giving away billions of dollars: morally awesome (you save many people, you deserve much praise)
