"tweet reposted by Aidy Bryant of Bernie Sanders’ calling billionaires “a moral obscenity.”
the best argument against this I've heard is think about Amazon in 2001 and Jeff being told, ok, you're done now. You have net worth of $999,999,999.00 USD we are going to force you to stop being Amazon CEO because 1 more dollar and that would be obscene.
We would never have amazon of 2021. Jeff did more good for the world from 2002-present and his actions are anything but obscene.
what about how amazing it is to click a button and something shows up tomorrow or same day? That's _amazing_. Jeff did something we all love. We vote for it with our dollars. Not saying we don't have HUGE problems with being in balance with this planet as humans, we do. But letting people like Jeff solve them and get rewarded is how to fix them. Vs trying to cap Jeff and say X amount of money is too much.
