It's societal cancer, imagine an organism that allows a few cells to monopolize most of the nutrients. You'd cut it out to save the host, but this has metastasized. The immune system has been reprogrammed to defend the cancer.

This is not like when ordinary people double their money. They already have an unimaginable amount of wealth, so doubling it is adding another unimaginable quantity. This is a good illustration:

Wealth shown to scale

Remember that those boxes need to be twice as long now (but not our box).

This is getting out of hands, economy and society are crumbling and everyone can see it with their own eyes. At this point is in the interest of any political party to stop billionares amassing wealth.

Should classify people who hoard wealth mentally unstable. What’s the difference between hoarding fake little pieces of green paper and shoes? Evidently hoarding shoes won’t make you a powerful demigod.

It's a system fault. Nobody earns a billion. No matter how willing you are to screw over other people, a billion can not be earned. Even if you were stealing every cent from your dying grandmother and all the ophans in the world, you'd still have to actually do it. Nobody lives long enough to have time to steal all that money.

It's also meaningless to try to spend that amount of money. It makes no sense to even try.

The money is multiplying by itself due to some error.

I suppose we found out what happens when dividing by zero.

We mothballed our guillotines. It's time to dust them off and get to work.

Sooo when do we stsrt eating them?

everybody jokingly says eat the rich but i happen to mean it

And people still buy into "they're a business and they need to make money!"

Where does that money go? Big picture, where does it go?

How did the 5 poorest men get poorer, exactly? /s

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Highlighting a dramatic increase in inequality since the Covid pandemic, Oxfam said the world’s billionaires were $3.3tn (£2.6tn) richer than in 2020, and their wealth had grown three times faster than the rate of inflation.

Mirroring the fortunes of the super rich, it also says business profits have risen sharply despite pressure on households amid the cost of living crisis.

The world’s richest 1% own 59% of all global financial assets – including stocks, shares and bonds, plus stakes in privately held business.

Aleema Shivji, Oxfam’s interim chief executive, said: “These extremes cannot be accepted as the new norm, the world can’t afford another decade of division.

Extreme poverty in the poorest countries is still higher than it was pre-pandemic, yet a small number of super-rich men are racing to become the world’s first trillionaire within the next 10 years.

Governments worldwide are making deliberate political choices that enable and encourage this distorted concentration of wealth, while hundreds of millions of people live in poverty.

poorest get poorer

So you mean to tell me that those with no money or possessions have somehow attained negative value?

Dang, I wonder if that money will ever come back into circulation with former taxation on their wealth. No? Okay just increase that money copier and keep inflation going BABAY!

They look like they could use a haircut.

Don't need an article to tell me that, I can feel it in my back pocket.
