    Bill Gates shot down the UN proposal to make patenting covid vaccines illegal. That caused the pandemic to go on for longer, and that gave me long covid. If Bill Gates weren’t a billionaire, I wouldn’t have these long covid problems.

          Fucking hell, isn’t his goal to rid the world of preventable diseases? Giving everyone the knowledge to make their own medicine is very clearly a good thing!

            Bill Gates has stock in Pfizer which would be devalued if the company didn’t have exclusive right to produce vaccines according to its patented method. He’s a billionaire, and that means he only cares about money. That’s the only way to become a billionaire in the first place. He’s simply treating medicine the same way he treated Microsoft for decades.

            he needs to make money off of it so he can fund future research! don’t question why our global economic model relies on made up numbers being met before actual life saving work is done! or why the numbers need to be in the hands of a dozen guys in the first place

        He doesn’t need to control the UN to do what was claimed.

        You have no idea when they got COVID. If it was well after Bill’s bullshit then yeah, it’s at least partly his fault.

    Literally 90% of my problems are because billionaires exist. My rent is too high, groceries are unaffordable, my car is one dashboard light away from breaking down. All of these problems are solvable with the money that billionaires extract from my labor.

    IMO, billionaires are a symptom of the system in which I’m underpaid, which is the cause of a nontrivial number of my concerns.

    Financial stress has been a constant companion for me, money doesn’t solve all my problems, but it certainly would relieve my financial stressors.

    If billionaires were less common, it would be because they invested more into their workforce, and paying them appropriately for their contributions to the business. Billionaires exist because a large group of people worked very hard for less money than they deserved, so that they could become a billionaire.

    The reason we should be angry at billionaires is because they’re usually the one dictating how much our contributions are worth (or rather, how much they’re not worth). They make the rules, set the goal posts, and determine how valuable we are (how much we are paid).

    They’re a symptom of a broken system, they’re also the reason why the system is broken.

    So I disagree with the initial assertion that my problems are not because someone is a billionaire. A nontrivial amount of my problems are exactly because someone is a billionaire. They stole the wages that I deserved (along with untold numbers of my co-workers), so they could become a billionaire, and I can be drowning in debt trying to make it through, paycheque to paycheque…

    Fuck billionaires.

    Why did you include the comments from a different platform? Just post the meme

        But this is a community for memes. Comments are not memes. If this was a AI related community I could see it but this is just a screenshot.

          Fun fact: The topic of the community is memes, which means discussions of memes are an appropriate post for the community.

          Additionally, posting discussion had elsewhere is a valid way to generate further discussion on something.

          Ergo, yo u are complaining about a non-issue.
