    Maybe he could build a train. Idk, seems like I’m a vacuum that’s probably the sensible thing to do. Maybe he could donate it directly from his income (that’s actually real income of course, we can’t tax those loans you took out to pay for said boat) directly in charge of fixing things up for people.

    Tldr, fuck his “science boat”. Build some goddamn houses for people. Gates is a bastard but Gaben gets a “charity” pass?

        I’ve made this comparison against Taylor Swift and it works for Gaben too. There is no ethical way for an individual person to acquire more than a billion dollars, full stop. That said, there are billionaires who have come across their fortunes a little more honestly than others. Taylor Swift and Gaben are good examples of that. So if/when the guillotine comes out I hope Taylor S. and Gaben won’t be on the chopping block and will relinquish a lot of their wealth. Unlike Peter Theil who is just evil.

          Hard agree! Although my personal version is less about acquiring than having.

          Even if someone acquired a billion through the most ethical means possible, the simple fact that they are holding onto that disgustingly imbalanced amount of wealth is unethical.
