According to the Bible, rich people mostly go to hell
Check out Mark 10:25 if you don’t believe me.
The Supreme Court's decisions, such as their Citizen's United ruling, have exacerbated the influence of money in politics. The #NetworkState movement reflects a desire to weaken government and labor. The ideological fervor of tech billionaires can be likened to a religious belief. Surrounded by sychophants, billionaires often have a warped perception of reality and lack of empathy for other people. Cryptocurrency is seen as a tool to undermine the legitimate nation-state's power. Small acts of rebellion can effectively challenge corrupt leaders and powerful institutions.
PC World: Crypto millionaires are being targeted by kidnappers in Europe. “Any sufficient accumulation of wealth can make someone a target for crime, and cryptocurrency has been a popular tool for scammers thanks to its ‘anonymous’ possibilities. Those two factors appear to be combining in disturbing ways in a wave of kidnappings and ransoms in western Europe. Wealthy crypto investors are now […]
I stopped caring about Jeff Bezo's super creepy penis rocket after Bill Shatner came back to earth.
Space tourism is not good.
We have more important things to do in space and on Earth.
Nothing against any of the latest passengers personally but we shouldn't be wasting precious resources on this joyride
I would support rich (or not rich!) people paying to go to the space station and contributing to real science. But no joyrides.
Gizmodo: Taylor Swift and Elon Can Finally Fly Private Without Being Tracked Thanks to New FAA Rule. “If there is one thing rich people love, it’s doing things that allow them to take advantage of their inordinate wealth. And if there’s one thing they hate, it’s being held to account for those things. So this new rule from the Federal Aviation Administration is right in their […]

@godpod a lot of them do it though.
My personal favourite discussion of this fact is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP2EKTCngiM
I've met both millionaires and 1 billionaire and they're nothing like what you'd see on the media. In my view, they are just like other people who just so happen to have a lot in assets, not in actual cash, but most people don't really understand how that works. These people I met have helped others in so many ways, yet they keep that stuff secret because its their way. They don't want the publicity. Sure, in any group, there are those who will use their powers for purposes that aren't helpful, but just like any other group, the vast majority do want to actually be a source of good for the world, its just hidden in plain sight. Hell, the only reason i knew one is a billionaire is because my dad told me, I never would have guessed, he didn't have a porsche or anything like that, the only thing I saw that was luxury was his own personal driver, but that's it. Super humble fellow, he was. Let's try and actually understand each other instead of blaming those who have powers, because you don't know it, but there are those who are extremely good people, and no, your communist idealism won't help. #RichPeople, #Millionaires, #Billionaires, #Wealth, #Charity
How rich people avoid taxes
Awfully dumb for the type of people who raise their noses at my New Balance footwear. They shouldn't have told them and just kept their money. I miss Payless even though a lot of the shoes were made in China. #richpeople #dumbrichpeople
“People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage. Intellectual myopia, often called stupidity, is no doubt a reason. But the privileged also feel that their privileges, however egregious they may seem to others, are a solemn, basic, God-given right. The sensitivity of the poor to injustice is a trivial thing compared with that of the rich.”
― John Kenneth Galbraith

Exhibit A:
The stock market is down because wealthy people have decided that September is a bad month in the stock market.
"US stocks fell on Tuesday to kick off a historically tough month for markets"

Well said.
#War is generally about #RichPeople sending #PoorPeople to fight with other PoorPeople about #Resources some other RichPeople lay claim to.
Of course it is always wrapped up in #patriotism, #nationalism, #jingoism and often #religion so that both can be convinced of the integrity and purity of their convictions.
Poor people die, and the rich people who own the factories that make the weapons - grow more wealthy and powerful
