@freemo @commandelicious right. And hard work comes with opportunity and determination. Plus hard work is a time taking process lol.

@MominRasool
For sure, hard work and determination are requirements for success. No doubt some people are in better situations than others to do either of those things as well. But to claim its purely luck seems disingenuous to me.
@freemo @commandelicious yeah but now the thing “help” comes if someone is filthy rich he/she can help the poorer one that can make the world better. Wearing Gucci when you know there’re people who’re suffering is cruel.
@MominRasool
Agreed, but a rich person who makes a lot of money can help the poor more, since they have a greater income. It takes money to make money. So if one is rich, and even seeks to be richer, so long as they are charitable to the poor then their tactic maximizes the help the poor get.
This of course also assumes that the person did not exploit the poor to acquire their money in the first place (Which is a whole 'nother discussion).
@freemo @MominRasool In 99% they don't help at all. You only can become rich if you exploit others.
@commandelicious
I don't find any truth in that
statement. Certainly no where near 99% anyhow.
@freemo @commandelicious @MominRasool I agree that the 99% is a bit of an overstatement.
I am not sure what "exploit" really means.
Ok, there are conditions where the poor are exploited in a negative way, taken advantage of in a rapacious manner. But did Bill Gates exploit his programmers?
@bigkafka @freemo @MominRasool
Uh yes, and MS still does.
@commandelicious @freemo @MominRasool really? Like, they whip them? Pay them the same wages for 20 years? Or do you mean "exploit" in a neutral way?
