Föderation EN Di 29.04.2025 23:56:40 I don't think there is such a thing as a "good billionaire" For me, a "billionaire" is per definition terrible If you manage to hoard over a billion, perhaps it's time to stop hoarding and start spending and giving away A good billionaire is a broke billionaire but hey, it wouldn't be a billionaire anymore then 🎙️⬇️ |

Föderation EN Mi 30.04.2025 00:10:10 @stux Inherited £22 million in 2022 is looking for 50 people to help her give it away. Marlene Engelhorn, 31 is a descendant of the founder of BASF and inherited the money from Traudl Engelhorn-Vechiatto, who died in September 2022. Founded a group called the Good Council for Redistribution (GCR) made up of 50 chosen participants, above the age of 16, who respond to one of Marlene's 10,000 invitations she randomly sent to strangers. Yes there are bad people with way too much money, but there are good people as well. Possibly not enough. |

Föderation EN Mi 30.04.2025 02:10:22 @stux The other problem with this idea is that they never donate at equivalent to how much they've stolen from working class and middle class people. But especially the working class. Also, I don't want all the donating power to be in the hands of a small subset of people. If I want to say screw you to someone, it shouldn't screw over the donations and defund entire agencies because one person's feelings are hurt. |

Föderation EN Mi 30.04.2025 00:02:17 @stux Hm. This is making me think of slogans. I like "A good billionaire is a broke billionaire." It would go great on a sign. "A good billionaire is a former billionaire." "A good billionaire is losing their fortune at a rate faster than anyone else is gaining theirs." Okay, I need to work on my bumper sticker game, but I think there are multiple avenues. |

Föderation EN Mi 30.04.2025 03:24:54 @stux wealth cannot be accumulated without taking the money from someone else. So the question always is: how many people's lives have you influenced negatively? Money as a whole is the issue. Not just capitalism. |
