The dream of someday being wealthy is what makes most people get up in the morning. No human wants to be equal we just want to be treated fairly and uniformily. I don't need nor want bumber lanes on my road of life. I embrace the challemge of comoeting. Having a billion dollars doesn't give you amazing ideas. Everyone can do that for free

It's hard for me to believe you wouldn't be motivated by 999 million versus 1 B or 10 B. And at a certain point their not just "playing by the rules" they're at best influencing then and at worst dictating them.

And you can argue maybe the government should have less regulations because then their are less regulations to corrupt, but that just kicks the can down the road.

But it won't be 999 million, who sets the number that we limit people to, and what right does anyone have to set that number?

I don't think anyone who has ever gotten to 1B ever did it as their primary goal

The real issue is that true competition is bought and acquired long before it ever becomes a threat resulting in these unchecked industrial juggernauts.

TL;DR Boo billionaires, yay kindergarten teachers. Well, one sentence was yay kindergarten teachers anyway.

On the plus side, it's currently winning "vapid article of the week". So that's something.
