It’s inherently antisocial. You no longer have to play by the social contract with that kind of wealth/power.
It’s a grave failure with our economic system that billionaires have been permitted to come about
Comment on 7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18!

A boring distopia is already even a single person having more than a single billion.

Yup, there was that post a while back, like you reach a billion, you get a plaque that says “congrats you won capitalism” and then they start at 0 again

Not even a billion, as soon as you’re in 8 figures you have more than a reasonable person can spend in a lifetime. Cap it at 50 million, every cent more goes towards public infrastructure and welfare
Or we could do away with capitalism entirely. Just saying

Capitalism does have some uses, like which TV you want to buy, but it needs to be heavily regulated.

People can still make TVs without capitalism…

For real, like Prestige in Call of Duty
