It's easier to just assume all billionaires are evil. The chances of it being wrong is about the same as for any good person to become a billionaire

That is true maybe there were some exploits done by them here and there but everything is gray there are no black and white.

Yeah obviously. I'm not saying an evil person cannot do good things, Hitler was responsible for VW Beetle - objectively one of the most beautiful cars in human history. We just can't call Hitler a good person because of that one thing

Making a good car isn't doing a good thing . What are you on about ?

No, it's pretty black and white with Billionaires. None of them have changed the world NEARLY as much as literally any figure from history. At all.

No billionaire has earned their billions for the simple fact that a person cannot produce that much wealth on their own. They MUST steal from others to get that rich. It literally HAS to be the case, because there is no physical way they generated that wealth themselves.
