I can't drive that!

I can drive a stick shift, a tractor, a Vespa, even a drone, but I can't drive a Tesla. My body physically rejects it. The idea of helping normalize trillionaires makes me heave.

I do not understand how people can't conceptualize how incredibly harmful wealth-extracting is.

Trillionaire.

There are 8 billion people on earth. He has more than $100/per person.

Does that not sound like a lot to you? Let's argue about "on paper" later, ok? First let's address $100. Now, living in the imperial core, I suppose that's not SO much. That's a few hours of work per person. Still crazy thinking about how much that is since there are so many people, but not life changing for those of us in the imperial core if he redistributed that wealth evenly amongst everyone on earth.

But there are places on earth where folks survive on less than $100/month. Around a billion people live on less than $100/month. He could double the standard of living for those billion people for an entire year!
