Incredible 07/12/23 11:25:45 PM #24:	Tons of people want to be rich and if they had the opportunity to become billionaires, they would take it. If billionaires are evil for being so rich, then a lot of people are evil. Can you really say that you wouldn't accept a billion dollars if they were presented to you? And if you would, then what makes you so different from these evil billionaires? I don't think this is so black and white. A lot of things are "evil", but they're so common that they're considered necessary evils. No one actually needs a billion dollars, but if they earned that amount of money lawfully, then it's theirs to keep. People have the right to use their money however they want, regardless of how rich they are. Billionaires fuck the economy up, but if they're not breaking any laws, who's to stop them? You can't objectively determine good or evil, anyway; all we can do is come up with laws for people to follow. If you consider someone to be evil for being a billionaire, then OK. I just don't think it's that simple. --- Hard work pays off <cite>Incredible posted [p:974804576] in There are ...

Torgo 07/13/23 12:50:43 AM #29:	Problem with this topic is that it's trying to personalize and oversimplify this. It's not there can be no altruistic or "good" billionaires, it's that the existence of billionaires is detrimental. One un-elected person being able to control so much wealth and influence over society is harmful. That's the problem... it's not whether or not George Soros, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, or David Koch are "good or "bad" it's that with so much consolidated wealth they live above the law and can dump so much money into personal projects or political influence. --- The right wing believe a fact is what their hierarchical belief structure dictates should be true - Not what is reflected in objective reality. <cite>Torgo posted [p:974805585] in There are ...

One such controversy for Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B) and its CEO was Buffett's investment in Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) during the 2008 financial crisis and his ongoing public support for the company and its management. The two worked hard to stop a proposed acquisition of Wesco by Financial Corp. in 1973 and then spent the next two years acquiring a majority stake in Wesco. Ultimately, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigated this deal (and Buffett's investment practices in general). It obtained a consent decree from Blue Chip Stamps that extracted a $115,000 payout for Wesco shareholders to compensate them for damages inflicted by the maneuver. Oh wow $115,000 fine! However will he pay that! This is how the get away with illegal stuff. https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0510/buffett-scandals-then-and-now.aspx <cite>WingsOfGood posted [p:974805881] in There are ...
