Infamous greedy capitalist that amassed immoral levels of mega-wealth by exploiting innumerable honest laborers finally died today. Tomorrow slightly better as a result. Day after likely back to bad normality when another oligarch ordained, greed worshipping fancy lad takes this corpse's place.

Final Ego Score: ✨2.7 billion✨

That would be 2.7 million for a thousand human beings to live entire lives of plenty with meaningful experiences, even without interest/speculative investment fuckery, that instead went to satiate this sad sack's socially encouraged hoarding mental illness.

I don't believe in an afterlife, but if I did, I'd like to believe ol' Charlie is looking up at us right now, waiting for some of God's love to trickle down...

Thank you glad to hear more of this. Billionaires should not exist period we should seize all their wealth and fix society with it.

And definitely no Billionaire should exist while we have homeless and kids going fucking hungry.

And poor students indenturing themselves to these greedy bastards to have a slight and ever diminishing chance of improving their station, and sick people losing their homes and half a lifetime of savings to these greedy bastard's banks due to the social supports they pay Congress to refuse to implement, on and on.

Tragically he never lived to see thousands of students forced to live in the windowless prison being built in his name.

Good. One less billionaire.

I'm pretty sure his will is going to make his children billionaires, so I'm not so sure that's the case.

[-] spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Fairly certain they’re already billionaires.

I guess there will be fewer terribly designed dorms in the future.

Shit is unbelievable, no? Like I forgot how fucked it was.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I wish there was a hell.

Every long lived billionaire is a huge failure on our part.

My pet is worth more than all billionaires.
