Billionaires and starving people tend to live in different countries though. What ever makes someone a billionaire in the US isn't probably the same thing that makes someone else starve in Africa. One could even say that thanks to the wealthy westerners there's less and less starving people in those places. There's been a huge decrease in world wide poverty over the last few decades.
Go back to Xitter and say that to Elon, he likes people blowing smoke up his ass
He did say "one could say". And I imagine an argument could be made. I would love to see either side of it with some data. It would be interesting. Like one could talk about how bill gates has poured money into Africa that might not have gone there otherwise. And then the response could outline how the money was taken out of Africa to make the billionaires, though I am not sure if Microsoft makes a lot of money in Africa our not. And I would love to have an informed rebuttal for my own use.
Ironically I came to Lemmy with the hope of meeting less people like you who act like a complete jerk towards strangers for no reason.
