Our obsession with what celebrities think can really cause problems. There's really no reason to care what a guy like Butker thinks about social issues, other than maybe to feel sorry for his wife.
Millionaires and billionaires ..... our modern day logic is to think and believe that someone who owns or has access to enormous sums of money automatically gives them the title of "genius".
I suppose humanity has always been like that.
We called them Kings, Queens, Lords, Emperors in the past ...... we changed the titles but the blind praise is still the same.
While I agree with your sentiment.... millionaires and billionaires should not be lumped together. This conflation is actually a super useful tool for the billionaires (and mega millionaires) to use when convincing the middle and lower economic classes to vote in their favor.
Realistically, millionaire today basically just means homeowner. As ridiculous as it sounds, a million dollars is not an "enormous" sum of money in today's world.
Billionaire is something different entirely.
Better to say "super wealthy" or something like that.
