@jeffowski Good post, not related to billionairs, but otherwise a good post I wish more people understood.

@freemo — the existence and allowance of billionaires fall hand in hand with homelessness and hunger.

@jeffowski Incorrect, though it is a common perspective and I understand that you believe thqt to be the case.

That isnt to say that billionairs do no wrong, they do, right along with people at any income level.

@freemo — it is a much greater moral failing of a billionaire not using that power to feed and house people than a worker going paycheck to paycheck not volunteering.

Voltaire: "Everyone is guilty of all the good they did not do."

@jeffowski @freemo did you donate your money to help someone in need ? did you have a bad moral failing

@lonelyranger

It is always someone elses fault, or the fault of some group other than the person who takes issue...That is not a coincidence, it is also the root of the problem.

@jeffowski

@freemo @lonelyranger@shitposter.club — thank you for demonstrating who has the power to act and who doesn’t.
It is not a failing of a poor person with no power to use the only power they have in their voice, versus the powerful/affluent person who HAS power but doesn’t take action (or worse, use that power to maintain the status quo where they keep their power and money to the detriment of others).

@jeffowski No one said anything about poor people... I refereed specifically to well-to-do middle class in my one example.

If your going to make up things I didnt say and then argue against those your just wasting my time.
