    If I was a billionaire, funding hate groups wouldn’t even be a thought. I’d be too busy traveling, partying and generally enjoying life.

    You have to a miserable asshole to have a billion dollars and spend money on funding hate groups.

      If you stopped and enjoyed yourself when you had enough money to live a lavish lifestyle for the rest of your life, you wouldn’t become a billionaire.

        For these people, it’s no longer about personal comfort or happiness anymore. It’s about chasing more power.

      Counterpoint, if you’re a Billionaire you probably subscribe to the idea of class warfare and that it’s your civic duty to fuck the poors. Keep donating money to causes that keep the poor eating themselves and not the wealthy.

      You won’t become a billionaire with that kind of positive attitude.

      Something tells me having a billion dollars is miserable. Probably extremely isolating.

      Like don’t get me wrong, I’d love my financial burdens to be a thing of the past. But at a certain level of wealth, the money itself is burdensome.

      IMO, enjoying things come at being a millionaire; a certain je nais se quois gets lost with being a billionaire, no matter how much they chase it down.
