Who has a billion dollars? Your net worth is what someone is willing to pay for what you have, whether you've sold it or not. If a famous painter paints a new portrait, the value he's created wasn't taken from anyone. Nor if an entrepreneur creates a much-loved product.https://twitter.com/peterdaou/status/1206656298625966081 …

That is not the case at all. Billionaires are made from exploitation.

All the employees that worked in bookstores making minimum wage, the truckers that had to deliver her books while barely getting by, movie theater employees, need I continue? You can't make a billion without exploiting someone along the way.

I'm not saying the exploitation was intentional. I'm saying the system is broken and allows for people to be exploited for gain. If the people getting exploited had a safety net they could bargain for more. However they have no bargaining power. (Cause Unions have been destroyed)

You & I likely agree that societal safety nets are vital both to human well-being & to ensuring that everyone spends their time/energy on their best possible work in the world, but people who believe all wealth is aggregated through exploitation really don't have ears for this.
