Or all billionaires are scum who have written the laws and ensured that the fine for this is no more than an annoyance and removing the sign without a permit was a worthwhile risk and the right call to make.
This guy gets it.
I think “all billionaires are scum” is perhaps too harsh, but it’s far closer to the truth than the views of society at large.
You cannot become a billionaire without being a scummy person.
Rowling became a billionaire by writing popular books and selling the movie rights. She’s a scummy person, obviously, but she didn’t become rich by being one.
Most of the Harry Potter stories are stolen/copies of either existing young adult novels or existing mythology. There’s very little original material or concepts. All writers borrow from other writers, but Rowling is just barely better than a plagiarist.
Yeah you definitely can become a billionaire without being a scummy person, just not trough business. You need to be an artist or athlete.
Definitely not going to be a CEO without being a piece of shit. You need that lack of ethics to make it that high.
Too harsh? Can you name one that isn’t?
I’m pretty sure that future billionaire me seems like a cool guy, I’m totally not biased.
Eat the rich, except if I become rich, then I’m exempt because I am a honorary proletariat
/s but seriously tho, if anyone becomes a billionaire, they’ll soon get corrupted by the wealth
