      Jesus said it best

      It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

    He’s absolutely right. Billionaires should not exist.

    Bill Ackman, a billionaire hedge fund manager who has backed President Donald Trump in the past, on Thursday pledged to use his money to bankroll a challenger to Mamdani in the general election.

      And how did he get those billions? How many peoples necks did he have to step on to climb his way up. It’s not so much what you do with your billions, it’s how you got them that makes you evil. The only exception to this is probably Bezos ex wife, maybe.
