Maybe billionaires should get a real job that contributes.

      It’s an attainable skill. Seriously: You think that CEOs are the modern equivalent of god emperors and I am the ideologically blinded?

      That’s literally the same thing people claimed that kings are: rulers that the people need because the latter is too dumb for their daily affairs.

        Did I say good emperor? No it’s not an easy set of skills to be good at or get yourself into or build the network to be successful. If it was you wouldn’t see memes about shitty coworkers or shitty middle managers with egos. You are trying to get sometimes hundreds of thousands employees and multiple business lines working in order. You have to work with finance, marking, supply chain, and delivery while being a public face to the company at the top. It’s hard, it’s stressful, and it’s not easy. I’d support stricter laws about equity. I’m just not dumb about how hard the jobs is at even a medium sized business. You’ve invented some random argument about gods and kings, think about that insane jump.

          It’s a great defens that you’re employing: if you only write ambiguous, sarcastic crap, you show less of your actual beliefs to have made arguments against.

          Too dumb that no one take you serious afterwards.

            I can only respond to so many people inventing stories about my position or what I said 🤷‍♂️

              If you run into one asshole, you’ve met one asshole. If you run into nothing but assholes, you’re the asshole.

                So if you head to truth social, express an opinion, and have folks yell at you, that would make you an asshole? Seems to me your definition is “doesn’t agree with the echo chamber” and it’s inclusive of everyone on the planet.
