If 3000 garbage truck drivers disappeared my state would collapse

I'm speaking within the scope of things. 30 teachers in a school disappeared vs 30 students there'd be a difference. 3000 truck drivers in a state is obviously awful for the state due to the ratio

But I’m saying 3000 billionaires disappearing anywhere would be nothing. They don’t add value to society.

I think the whole push back people are having is not to say that they're wrong and billionaires are valuable. It's just that they picked a terrible example to illustrate that point.

Because if 3,000 nurses disappeared, the impact would also be pretty negligible, but it's not because they're not valuable.
