I hate that becoming a certain level of rich can guarantee that you will never not be rich even if you’re the dumbest motherfucker that ever tried to do business.

Depends on how you count it. Would you consider Steve Jobs to be rich? Seems to me that he managed to find a way to graduate from his status as a rich person with his stupidity.

I mean he was rich, wasn’t he? Did he die poor somehow? I don’t know enough about him.

No no, I'm just saying sometimes they are dumb enough to kill themselves (he rejected proper cancer treatment, in favour of pseudo bullshit). That's one way they sometimes manage to get out being rich 😂

Yes. Terminal hubris, society needs better options than relying on it to take care of our inequality problem though.

Eat the rich.
