If he gets $223M a year for being a detriment to society, I should be getting at least $446M for being relatively neutral.

Making money by destroying/burying digital media. What a backwards world we live in…
This practice feels like something that should be illegal. Effectively it is destroying art that hundreds or thousands of people worked hard to make, for the sake of fiddling the books of the owning company that commissioned it.
If you “write it off” to be worth zero, it should either become freely available abandonware, or can be claimed as the intellectual property of those that worked on it. Otherwise it is evident that there is some value to be had and therefore tax fraud to claim it has none.
Students believe there is a camera inside this hole on the vending machine
Students and their silly beliefs. Don’t worry about that lens shining in the hole. It’s just a useless hole!
Oh sorry I didn’t realise we were supposed to be living off grid entirely to be allowed to browse this sub.
You should probably stop going to work and school, too much exposure.
Personally my hotmail account is nearing 25 years old. I both get this and godawful amounts of spam. I’m not sure if its entirely due to age, or due to historic leaks including the email address. I would say it’s normal if you have the same email as you did in the 90s.
I think it’s because we are in .ml and the Hexbears are allowed in here
It’s a slightly longer process to extract tea from a British émigré.
Get yourself one of them Elon chips.
I tend to put bread or crepes under mine.
How can you even pick up butter with Nutella on?
Cookies aren’t good? I feel like that’s a spicier take than Marvel movies.
Have you been eating them like apples?
Yes. Well, some saying we shouldn’t tax billionaires more and others saying that the money is better off with one private individual setting up companies and charities, rather than leaving that to governmental entities.
To me, someone paying only ~25% tax when earning millions per year is obscene.
It’s interesting as a thought experiment because there’s no real world example of this. Which I guess is the gotcha OP was going for, but kinda fumbled.
Arguably hoarding the wealth for yourself (and even your immediate family), never mind how you accumulated it, is still not “good”. It’s indirectly oppressive to collect a bunch of money, while many suffer, and say “noone else is touching this, it’s mine”.
Very true.
I was just trying to draw attention to some of the comments that are defending them. You’d think from some in here that a little smidge of philanthropy in retirement makes it all okay that one person can hoarde enough personal wealth to feed millions.
Reread my comment. I’m commenting on the content of the comments.
In these comments: People who think someone can accumulate obscene personal wealth and then give a small percentage away makes them good. But if someone dares suggest taxing that obscene wealth they are a monster.
I Googled “what’s funny” and it showed me a Mr. Beast video, so now I don’t trust you.
In a sense, voluntarily choosing to not be a billionaire is the goodest thing a billionaire could do.
If they do it right before they die though, that makes it pretty dubious.
Aha, but if every bullet is a killer bullet then it is exactly the same.
Checkmate atheists.
