Just be a CEO of a large corrupt corporation and someone will be along shortly to process your request.

Someone else in another thread said their friend inherited a billion dollars and is the hardest working person they've ever met and I honestly couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But then I'll be a dirty nasty poor like the rest of you!

Ah ha! Problem solved then. Nice troubleshooting skills!

You could pay my friend a livable wage so he could live in his own property for the first time in his life or you could keep the money for yourself. You are entirely dependent on him doing his job for you to earn anything, and you choose to keep the money for yourself. And you truly don't see how keeping all the money for yourself is stealing his wages? Oh and also there are hundreds of thousands of people in my friends situation, but there's only like 500 of you.

first off its not my job to analyze every specific thief. But since I have nothing else to do right now: do you think sport stadiums and sport organizations are just like immutable laws of nature? They're just always there? No, there are legions of people who work to make these events happen, and the athletes steal basically all the money. For crying out loud, the Qatar world cup stadium was built using literal slave labor. All those morally corrupt athletes still played there.

You have ~~thief~~ billionaire athlete friends (a claim I am dubious of). Well, I have friends who work in the sports industry who are 50 and can't afford to move out of their parents basement. They are employed full-time and work at least three jobs.

Its so hard so we should never try and just let all the disgusting poors die like pigs in the street. Got it.

And its not worth ever trying to change anything for future generations, fuck your loser kids, you got yours right?

Billionaires have all the money that will ever be needed to fix this problem forever. Your friend (who is 100% part of the problem) included. I want to take their wealth back and invest it in the people, like any functional society worth a damn would do.

You know I got super high a few weeks ago and imagined something similar to this so I'm pretty sure they're on to something here.

These hospitals all crumbled and failed because they were no longer profitable, which is not a problem that exists in a socialist run country.

Its just a part in the equation where you're dividing by zero, that's all. We know you cant divide by zero, so it means our theories are incomplete.

The gravastar theory is notable (IMO) because it does away with the singularity. Although, it seems like this theory is borderline unfalsifiable, since any way you could detect a gravastar would also be insistinguishable from a black hole.

Personally, I am of the (completely unsubstantiated) opinion that black holes create universes (somehow) because it is a simple, succinct answer to many questions. So, any theory that takes that seriously would be worth further research, imo. But until there is some kind of observational evidence, I think this is just relegated to the realm of "that's a neat thing that math can do".

It has to do with a government who rejects social safety programs in favor of wall street run corporations.

I really am not sure how to break this to you.

What would you call a government who embraces social safety programs against the interests of wall street run corporations?
