He wrote in his diary that he wanted $1B for himself.
Not like in a fanciful, thought experiment way, in a that was his actual personal goal way.
So he wanted to hoard 10,000 six figure (100k) salaries for himself.
Why is he allowed to walk free in society? Why is someone with a goal like that not immediately thrown in prison?
You wanna know why we can't have nice things? It's not because of boomers, it's because we allow rich assholes like these two to openly rob us of the fruits of our labour.
Why does a tech bro wanting to be a billionaire let the boomers off the hook?
I get the sentiment/frustration, but I suppose they're trying to say "there are boomers who understand how greedy this is and there are people younger than the boomer generation who perpetuate and vote for these greedy, unsustainable practices".
I agree with those assertions. I think they’re going a few steps further than that too though. And that is where I’m trying to understand the thinking.
