Snow Crash and Jennifer Government covered this pretty well.

Send him to go find that Tesla he launched into space.

So what? The “on paper” argument is utter bullshit and only belongs to the ignorant, the pedantic, and the sycophant. That “paper” wealth is leveraged into actionable wealth and material goods. Whether or not it is in holdings other than cash is irrelevant.

But when you make it proprietary you can take your ball and go home so nobody else can use it in your attempt to corral users into using only your accessories.

You simultaneously said we should fix the system while not caring about the class that warped the system in the first place.

You have to get rid of both. The system that allows the disparity and the wealth to warp it. If there is wild disparity it will always seek to bend the system further in its favor, and the only way to prevent that is to kill the disparity.

A whole new level of sickness.

I work with people like this. The next sentence is always some variant of “if they don’t want to be poor they should get a better job. “

Yeah dumbass, there’s 100 million 6-figure jobs available for everyone to not be poor. And education that doesn’t put you 6 figures in debt. They should work harder than the 2 jobs they’re already working and Ubering on the side, you say? They’re already doing 4x as much as your privileged fat ass sitting behind a desk who knocks off early on a Friday.

Fuck I hate people sometimes.
