    If you understand that every additional unit of wealth a billionaire possesses has emerged into existence via the labor of another person that they didn’t get paid for, then you’d see that billionaires and those other things are likely mutually exclusive. And if you think - okay, what if it costs little to do all those things and billionaires still get to pocket enough labor output to be billionaires? I’d ask - in such a case, why not work significantly less time instead of working 40 hours weeks and donating the extra output so someone can be a billionaire?
