      Yeah and it’s easier to transition to clean energy, mitigating their output, than it is to remove them.

                  Well it’s a statement so obvious I hardly assumed it needed explaining. Have you ever thought about the practical aspect of removing billionaires? How exactly do you think it will happen? There are several methods and they’re all very difficult.

                    The fuck it is.

                    We can tax them out of existence.

                    They exists because the other 7-8 billion people allow them to exist.

                    Your lack of will and imagination is not a limiting factor for the rest of us.
