And they can provide for them on much, much, much smaller wealths. The non ultra rich are doing it.

yeah how could anyone be expected to provide for their families with less than a billion dollars
54 0 ReplyTheir families are already provided for for the next five generations, at least, assuming they're all shite with money!

With one billion dollars, I could comfortably provide for my family for ten thousand years. They'll be fine without them
33 0 ReplyThey’ve made billions not caring for anyone else’s family. Why should anyone care about theirs?
30 0 ReplyThey could provide for hundreds of millions of families.
20 0 ReplyYo, I'm damn sure an anticapitalist, but the numbers are way off here. $1B split by 100M works out to $10 per family.
4 0 ReplyYou forget they're usually multi-billionaires at this point. So could be anywhere from $10-30 per person.

I feel like this is most lemmy communities? What pro-billionaire lemmy communities are there?
5 0 ReplyActually a more interesting question than you think. When asked "should billionaires exist?" Almost everyone on Lemmy would respond "no," I suspect, but when asked "should we be working towards Communism?" I suspect the answer is far more mixed. Depending on your personal views, someone can say they oppose billionaires but not support actual practical methods of reducing them, just saying "increase taxes" as though they would ever let that happen.

They can provide for multiple generations when they die.
15 0 ReplyNobody thinks of the billionaires, it's so unfair.
13 0 ReplyThis makes a nice companion to the meme that ends with the rich guy saying “fuck off” to something reasonable that involves helping other humans.
7 0 ReplyPiccolo would not be making this argument. If anybody would it would be Turles there.
