> That you think you can sit around and produce nothing while everyone else around you produces everything you need.
Yet that's exactly what the "leisure class" do. Inherit enough money and that's your life. Why is that not equally hilarious? Why do only some of us get to have that and it's OK?
The vast majority of people who have money didnt inherit it. The vast majority worked for it.
You dont have it because you didnt earn it. Instead you're on the internet demanding like a child that you dont need to work for anything. Thats the difference between people with money and yourself.
I'm not asking for money. I'm asking why it's OK to inherit money from your parents and do nothing useful your whole life. Why do we give those people a free pass?
This is what people who have never built anything like to say.
Bezos as an example built a great service. An exchange of value between willing customers and what he created happens repeatedly. Therefore he earned the billions. Thats how it works. The more value you create for the most people makes you more money. And I cant think of a more fair system.
It's not fair because some people inherit enough money to never have to work. If you actually wanted a fair system then we would all spend our childhoods in a boarding school with no contact with our parents, and no inheritance. But that's not feasible, so we're stuck with this unfair system. But let's not pretend it's fair.
Those who "create value" often don't. The continuing enshittification of everything is removing value from customers, yet the CEOs who are forcing it on their customers are getting paid vast salaries. We all know that they're destroying value and that their organisations will eventually be replaced by ones that actually value customers, but they continue to be rewarded.
