Everybody's gotta eat. Would you work your job if you weren't getting paid?

Your question shows a lack of understanding. Many billionaires do not need to work. What keeps them showing up to "jobs"?

Of course - billionaires, the quintessential example of the motivations of the common man. When I think, "a person under the same set of constraints as Joe in R&D", I think of Jeff Bezos.

So this statement then admits that there are differences in how people are treated and what they are able to do based on religion? No, race? Again, missing the mark?

Ahh, MONEY! Which is as made up as it gets. This person is worth more than that person because this computer says so and it has to be TRUE, or else society wouldn't work. We are about to find out real quick how the world works again, and I am warning everyone here, if you think you are safe because of money, the world is going to humble you.
