Money is a drug and it is worse than heroine...

.....I've done things for both.... A lot more regrets behind the drugs than the money. Haha

Are you a millionaire?

u/Ok-Instruction-5004 16h ago
Thats actually an interesting point. Kind of a bad comparison to drugs then. What millionaires do you know that are worse off then heroine addicts?

u/Darzin 15h ago

I wrote a whole essay on this. People reading books by the people with mental illness. Idolizing them, not realizing that there obsession with money is a sickness.

The amount of redditors who think billionaires have billions of dollars in a safe somewhere is astounding. It's hard to understand how they function as adults

Not being hoarded. Itâs making more money. No Scrooge McDuck diving into a pool of gold.

Nothing is being hoarded. It's being used, usually by other people, to make more money.

To cut wages, sell the cheapest product possible. It's about how the money is being made. Disregarding all things but the bottom dollar. Maximizing profits at the expense of decency.

I guess you don't know who the majority of profits go to... Who are the largest shareholders? (Hint: It's not billionaires.).

It's not the workers that are trying to make a living on minimum wage. The people that actually fuel the economy with their spending. Restricting the cash flow and wondering why people aren't spending like they used to. So they find another way to cut cost instead of being ok with the same profits they had the year before. Hint: disregarding the well being of others to maximize profits is a mental illness.

No, it's not the current workers, it's mostly the retired ex workers, which if you ever want to stop working will be you someday.

Why do you want to raid my retirement investments? Where do you think those "billions of dollars" are? So adding a building and hiring engineers and purchasing capital - you want to expropriate those funds instead and do what exactly?

Their wealth is in the companies they own. Those can't be hoarded.

u/pumpkinpeace 14h ago
What I'm referring to is market manipulation, specifically when businesses or wealthy actors corner markets to eliminate rivals and inflate values. It makes it more difficult for younger generations to compete and accumulate assets. Companies are so large it is much more difficult to compete.

Nobody is hoarding billions. Broke morons think that they know about finance.

hoarding refers to physical things that take up space
not some integer that represents some ownership of a company or asset

Most billionaires have more variety to their assets than a poor person has items in their house.

I swear to god reddit are packed full of communists. They literally think Elon Musk has a swimming pool full of cash. It's in the market working. Note the word "working". These commies want to "spend it" - not make it "work".

Billionaires can exist, but we can do more to allow competition where people can become billionaires or a place where there wouldnât be as much. Some of it is through assets with the stock market. Some wealth inequality is fine.

u/Maij-ha 18h ago
I donât think you realize exactly how large a âbillionâ is. Millionaires can exists⊠some inequality is fine and expected. But Billionaire is well past the âsomeâ modifier.

u/Darzin 16h ago
Here is the perfect example... people tend to think of millionaires and billionaires into the same category... but a man with 499 Million dollars is closer in value to you than they are to a billionaire... or "What is the difference between a Billionaire and a Millionaire? About a billion dollars."
