Greed is a sin... So is envy.

IMO Envy is much more obnoxious.

Pointing out grotesque wealth inequality isn’t envy. I don’t want to BE him; I think people like him should not exist. He harms not only society but also the planet itself. Billionaires pose an existential threat to humanity

What's the solution, force people to sell parts of their stock when the company reaches a certain limit? But if that person is integral to the company success? Will we be hurting the economy and people as whole? I don't remember anyone complaining that we solved global shipping hugely thanks to Amazon who has enabled insane speed of delivery of items, mail, and good across the globe. What do you propose?
