    Indeed.

    And an often overlooked downside of all the tax loopholes is that asshole billionaires don’t pay tax, so they have a competitive advantage against someone like Mark Cuban.

    Basically, with billionaires we are evolving them to become nastier with each generation.

      It’s weird because why would billionaires even need to compete amongst eachother? You don’t even need to get close to a billion to exist in what amounts to a personal, post-scarcity paradise.
