        I’m open to having my mind changed if you can provide evidence of billionaires that accumulated their massive wealth by using non-exploitative practices

          Billionaires normally sell something that the masses want.

          If it’s not gained through criminal activities and people actually gave money willingly, then they’re providing a service or product millions of people wanted or used.

          Just because people made money doesn’t mean they did it in an egregious fashion automatically

            Ok, so you don’t have anything actually valuable to offer in a discussion and seem to lack critical thinking skills. If you want to worship or do hand waving for the ultra wealthy, that’s your prerogative but don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining. Moving on

              I’m not and just because I disagree with you doesn’t mean I lack critical thinking skills.

              What I said is logical

        No, it follows logically. A person who helps people can and will never become a billionaire. Billionaires decide, on every day of their lives, to keep hording their immense wealth, where it serves literally no one, not even their own happiness, instead of donating it to help people who are literally suffering and dying from a lack of $100.
